Bought two pages off ebay a few months back, clipped from Sounds 9th, June 1979. Hawkwind Rock Family Tree by Pete Frame. Just framed them to go on the wall in what was a utility room for the cats litter (now post-cats will be a reading nook). They look the biz.

I have both the TOS deck and the TAS deck - brilliant concept and so well executed. TNG deck will be worth checking out, but ... i am so impatient for the DS9 deck. <3 #Tarot
