Ok I can not figure out how to show images and I couldnt find the cards online to get the pictures, but they are about the size of a piece of notebook paper, glossy finish, kind of a postcard look on the back...I have Troi, Worf, Picard, and Data. Since I found them in my Grandmas basement I just wanted to know if they were special or not....

I also have cards that have pics from the original star trek, with descriptions on the backs, like vulcans and communicators, these are the size of baseball cards and dont have a glossy finish....

Anyway I did some research but no luck, Im just really curious as to why the first set of cards are so big. Any help from trekkies would be appreicated.
 
If they are the size of notebook paper I would guess that they are pictures for autographs. My second guess, they came from a magazine. Either one dedicated to Star Trek, or a general entertainment magazine.
 
The large cards may be "lobby cards" from one of the TNG movies. The smaller cards are probably bubble gum cards.
