Where it came from
The Nyssa of Traken card, numbered 656, is a key component of the Doctor Who trading card series released by Topps. Nyssa, portrayed by Sarah Sutton, was a long-running companion during the Fourth and Fifth Doctor's eras, first appearing in the 1981 serial 'The Keeper of Traken.' The design reflects the aesthetic of the era, focusing on the character's signature aristocratic Trakenite attire and her role as a scientific prodigy alongside the Doctor.
These cards were produced to capture the nostalgia and longevity of the BBC's flagship science fiction series. The illustrations and character profiles were crafted to appeal to long-term fans, prioritizing iconic photographic stills from the production. The set was generally well-received by the collecting community for its comprehensive coverage of companions, effectively serving as an archival record of the show's intricate casting history.
