After studying the market for several years on Star Trek autographs. I found out what Star Trek Collectors should be paying for these autographs especially the autograph cards made by Skybox. Here is what you should be paying for the 1966 Star Trek Original Cast. Leonard Nimoy autographs have averaged between $300-$500. Leonard Nimoy has mentioned last year (2011) that he will be making many public appearances in the future. This will eventually increase demand which causes prices to go up because Leonard Nimoy autographs will become more scarce. William Shatner have also averaged between $300-$500. Walter Koenig autographs have averaged between $50-$100. Walter Koenig does sign a lot at shows especially at the James Doohan autographs have averaged between $200-$300. James Doohan died on July 20,2005 at the age of 85 with Pneumonia. James Doohan autographs are still reasonable considering he is not alive. I expect his autographs to make a dramatic increase in price in years to come. Buy James Doohan’s autograph soon if you want one. George Takei autograph prices have averaged between $50-$125. Nichelle Nichols autograph prices have averaged between $65-$125. The last rarest Star Trek autograph to obtain is Deforest Kelley. Deforest Kelley autographs are very scarce and hard to find. Deforest Kelley died on June 11,1999 at the age of 79 with stomach cancer. His Skybox card has had an asking price of $1,000. Sellers with this card don’t always get it. The Deforest Kelley’s other authenticated autographs go for over $2,000. We have an 8 X 10 photo up for sale in our store. If you an autograph not authenticated by Skybox.
