Cubits were the primary unit of currency used on the series, and were most often seen during sequences where characters such as "Starbuck" (Dirk Benedict) and other principle cast members would meet or gamble in the Viper Pilot lounge area and play Poker or the futuristic game "Pyramid". Exhibiting production wear and handling. In vintage very good to fine condition.
