 In 1982, licensors are looking for bootlegs!

In 1998, STTNG was just another cash cow.

 From later in 1988, Paramount execs discuss other ways to drain fans' bank accounts.

And from a 1991 TV Guide.  They call it trivia; some doofus will declare it a necessity!

Can't you see?  They're counting on you falling for the "collectability" conspiracy!

See you on Monday with even more TREK cartoons from magazines and newspapers.
