Trivia |
- Because neither Richard Dreyfuss or François Truffaut had granted permission for the use of their likenesses, none of the cards in this set featured photos of Roy Neary or Claude Lacombe, the film's two main characters. Instead, Topps' version of the story focused on Ronnie Neary and her children, and Jillian and Barry Guiler.

It's interesting that cards for Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfuss) were not included in this set. | ||
