The set of 88 cards and 22 stickers features characters and scenes from the Buck Rogers in the 25^th Century film. They were sold in packs of ten cards and one sticker for 20 cents, with 36 packs to a box.

Cards showcase many of the wild creatures, disco-infused wardrobe and special effects. Borders are bright red with a white lightning pattern around them. Each of the four corners has a head shot of Buck Rogers, Wilma Deering, Twiki, and Princess Ardala.

Card backs are green with an illustration of the heroic trio. The caption from the front is repeated at the top inside of an explosion with a short writeup beneath it. The stickers have a blue outer border and a red frame around the image. There are also a couple of lightning bolts. Sticker backs double as puzzle pieces.
