The first sci-fi television series to captivate audiences, Star Trek used social commentary that people could relate to and in turn, created a cult following that has only grown stronger throughout the franchises 56-year existence. With the original run of the show running between 1966 and 1969, offered here is this 2001 Rittenhouse Star Trek 35th Anniversary HoloFEX dual-signed autograph card of both William Shatner (Captain Kirk) and Leonard Nimoy (Spock). Often regarded as the best combination of characters in Star Trek history, the 2001 Rittenhouse 35th anniversary release focuses on characters from the original series with Lead Bridge Crew featured on several cards including nine (9) each for Captain Kirk and Spock. With the second half of the checklist delving deeper into supporting cast and guests, the design takes a more premium approach than most Star Trek sets, using foil stock. Marking the first time that the pair appeared on the same autograph card, with five hundred (500) copies of the offered example printed and signed, autograph cards for the series were found in counts of three (3) per box on average, the sizeable 34-card list features some notable names but the main cast is missing from it. However, one of the greatest Star Trek trading cards of all-time is in the product as its lone dual-signed chaser, with the card offered here landing 1:480 packs. Featuring images of both Shatner and Nimoy, who passed away in 2015, as their respective characters from the original series, both men have signed alongside their images with blue marker ink signatures that display beautifully, a sentiment shared by PSA who deemed the autographs worthy of their high-grade NM-MT 8 designation. A POP-3 highest graded example based on the PSA Population Report for PSA/DNA Certified cards, the card has recently been returned from grading at PSA, where it was assessed a mark of MINT 9 overall. Housed in a flawless PSA holder, don't let this important non-sport offering pass you and your collection by!
