When Jurassic Park was released, it was an immediate blockbuster and went on to become one of entertainment's largest multimedia franchises, with sequels, theme park attractions, and a robust consumer product program--including a set of trading cards released by Topps to tie into the film. This comprehensive collection of the original trading card series includes the fronts and backs of all of these classic cards, plus the special chase cards and rare promotional material.

The book also includes text and commentary by Gary Gerani, editor of the original series, and an afterword by Chip Kidd, who created and designed the cover of Michael Crichton's novel Jurassic Park, which became the iconic logo for the franchise.
