"In the Cards" was written by Truly Barr Clark, Scott Neal, and Ronald D. Moore, and premiered on June 9, 1997.[1] In addition to the regular Deep Space Nine cast, the episode features Louise Fletcher, Chase Masterson, Jeffrey Combs, and Aron Eisenberg in their recurring roles and a guest performance from Brian Markinson.
Set in the 24th century, the series follows the adventures of the crew of the Starfleet-managed space station Deep Space Nine near the planet Bajor; later seasons of the show follow the conflict between the United Federation of Planets and a hostile empire known as the Dominion. In this episode, Jake Sisko, the son of station captain Benjamin Sisko, and his friend Nog try to acquire a baseball card, while running afoul of more serious political machinations.[2]
