In 1978, when I was all of four years old, Wonder Bread came out with a set of 36 trading cards based on the new show Battlestar Galactica.
I was then, and am now, a fan of that original series, what with the menacingly Cylon voices and the fierce Viper combat, and in my preschool head the series and Star Wars were probably jumbled up together into a happy little sci-fi continuity.
I have a very clear memory of my parents taking me to a Kohl's (back then the company operated both retail and grocery stores, methinks it was the one one on 15th-ish and Burnham) because they'd called ahead and found out that location had the "specially marked" bread with the cards. Presumably other stores ran out of the product, I was pestering my folks, and they loved me enough to humor me.
I don't think I have any of the cards now, but the fact that it remains a short but fond memory of such a very young age, keeps them close to my heart.
