1997 Inkworks Starship Troopers trading cards bring together the monsters and the military mayhem of the Paul Verhoeven movie. Although releasing before the company started including autographs in their products, the checklist does include some other inserts. By today’s standards, it’s a simple set but for fans of the film, it offers plenty to dig into.

1997 Inkworks Starship Troopers Checklist Details

The base set has 81 cards. Typical for Inkworks, while it does translate the movie into trading cards, it also adds a couple of subsets that look at other areas. The first 54 cards are dedicated to the story, running through from start to finish including lots of gory details. Behind the Scenes look at production and special effects while nine Profiles shift the focus to characters. Finally, there’s The Fleet, which offers a look at ships an transports.

As for inserts, nine Bug Works cards come embossed to show the movie’s monsters. Several show them in action as well as troppers meet their fate. As far as odds go, these are the easiest chase cards to pull at 1:11 packs.

Next up are four Art of Starship Troopers cards (1:17 packs). Fronts of these go together to form a puzzle of the poster art. Backs discuss how the movie was adapted and developed.

Finally, there are a pair of Starship Gold cards. These have embossed gold foil fronts. At 1:54 packs, they’re not the easiest pulls but with only a couple of cards in the set, individual copies aren’t that much more rare than Bug Works cards.

Without much premium content, 1997 Inkworks Starship Troopers trading cards don’t carry significant value today. It’s not as common as a lot of sets out in the wild but it’s not scarce, either.
