STAR TREK Paper Dolls by Tom Tierney

Spring 1995.  TV Guide "Star Trek Collector's Edition".  Star Trek paper dolls by Tom Tierney.  I do not know if these paper dolls were just for TV Guide or if they are from a published paper doll book.  My mom has hundreds of Tom Tierney paper doll books but none of them have Star Trek paper dolls.

This is CHRISTmas

I am always buying cards at garage sales and thrift stores.  I bought a couple of grab bags of cards at a garage sale about a month ago and these cards are from that purchase.  Someone saved just the front of the cards so I do not know anything about them.  Before you run to that "Black Friday" sales event, take a moment to remember the true meaning of CHRISTMAS.

As for men, they go in a big way for delicious smoking pleasure in a shape, trim and handy as a cigarette . . .

V. show.
