I thought there was a thread on this from years ago I could necro, but I can't find it so I'll just start fresh:

I have the opportunity to meet William Shatner at a local con next month. He's charging $120 per Autograph, which in this case I'm probably going to pay because who knows if/ when I'll get another chance to get it.

The question is: What do I get signed?

I have a James T. Kirk, but I know there's some debate about whether or not getting it autographed adds to or detracts from the value.

Traditionally, I've gotten foil cards autographed, and in this case, the obvious choices are 100,000 Tribbles - Clone on the 1e side, or Living Legend, Original Thinker, Highly Decorated Captain, or Brutal Barbarian on the 2e side.

So I put it to the community: if you could get any one card (and ONLY one card) signed by Shatner, which would it be and why?

Thanks! :cheersL:

If I were you, the 100k clone as there is more room for such an epic signature, but if it were me, I'd get an 8x10 photo.

I would go with the WB Dominion preview one.

Is this the tread you were looking for?

No that's not the thread I'm thinking of. I remember a discussion about the relative merits of an Autographed vs. "Clean" JTK from a few years back.

Ah! An interesting thread with links to other interesting threads! I wasted more than 2 sleep hours reading those nested Thread Blackholes last night!

Exclamation points!

I also did another thing...

My wallet is much lighter now, but.... WORTH IT!!

This will be a permanent fixture in my nerd cave. So glad my kids could meet Mr. Shatner while he is still with us!

But why did you have Joyce DeWitt sign it?

I've been getting Mr. Shatner's autographs for years and have watched his fee grow pretty much every year. I currently have all the Shatner Decipher cards signed, except for the UR, which I have never owned. I also have 8 x 10s as well. I never thought about the 100,000 Clone as I stick to personnel only cards for 1E and 2E, so maybe next time I'll get that signed as well.
