What’s with Balon’s bug-eyed expression? He kind of looks like that big-headed alien you see during the end credits of the original “Star Trek” TV show.
Believe it or not, this alien’s name is Balok. That’s way too close to “Balon” to be a mere coincidence. If Gene Roddenberry was alive today, he would totally admit that his inspiration for that alien character was this card of David Balon.
This is my 16th card in my 1963-64 Parkhurst set.
Note: I was not on “The War Room” this week, but will be back on their show next Wednesday.
