1997 Upper Deck Anastasia Anya Art Variation Unopened 5 Card Pack
Originating from the nostalgic boom era of late-1990s animated feature collectibles, the 1997 Upper Deck Anastasia release commemorates the acclaimed Twentieth Century Fox musical adventure directed by Don Bluth and Gary Goldman. Preserved in its original multilingual factory foil packaging showcasing the elegant Anya character portrait wrapper variation, each unopened pack houses 5 collectible cards sourced directly from the original manufacturer production run, offering collectors an authentic, unsearched pop culture time capsule from the golden age of theatrical animation.
The 90-card base checklist chronicles the sweeping animated journey of Anya as she sets out from St. Petersburg alongside con-man Dimitri, former nobleman Vladimir, and her loyal canine companion Pooka to discover her true royal heritage in 1920s Paris. Key episodic chase subjects woven throughout the run feature dramatic confrontations against the dark sorcerer Grigori Rasputin and his comedic bat minion Bartok, high-energy travel sequences aboard the locomotive and sea vessel, and heartfelt reunions with Dowager Empress Marie Feodorovna. Pack unboxings also provide the pursuit of Upper Deck's dedicated chase lineup, highlighted by vibrant character profile subsets, movie story cards capturing musical milestones like "Journey to the Past" and "Once Upon a December," and specialty foil-stamped insert cards that deliver rich unboxing appeal for non-sport enthusiasts and animation collectors.
