One of Magic: The Gathering Star Trek‘s ultra rare autographed cards found a buyer for $7,500 from eBay today. It’s original asking price was even higher at $20,000.
The card is an actor signed Mr. Spock, Science Officer, featuring the autograph of Ethan Peck, who portrays Spock in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds. A report of the eBay sale has attracted attention from collectors trying to determine what these new chase cards are actually worth.
This sale provides an early pricing benchmark for one of the set’s most expensive collectibles, just one day before the sets official release.
Star Trek’s Signed Cards Are Among Magic’s Rarest Pulls
Unlike ordinary foil treatments or printed signatures, the seven Star Trek headliner cards were physically signed by the actors portraying their respective characters.
According to Wizards of the Coast’s official collecting guide, fewer than 250 copies of each signed card exist. They can only appear in Collector Boosters, which carry a suggested retail price of $37.99 per pack.
The seven autographed headliners feature:
- Captain James T. Kirk, signed by William Shatner
- Captain Jean-Luc Picard, signed by Patrick Stewart
- Mr. Spock, Science Officer, signed by Ethan Peck
- Lieutenant Commander Data, signed by Brent Spiner
- Captain Kathryn Janeway, signed by Kate Mulgrew
- Seven of Nine, Unassimilated, signed by Jeri Ryan
- Lt. Cmdr. Geordi La Forge, signed by LeVar Burton
With fewer than 1,750 signed cards across all seven designs, these are exceptionally scarce pulls. Their appeal also extends beyond Magic players to Star Trek autograph collectors, potentially bringing an entirely different group of buyers into the market.
Asking Prices Have Reached $32,000, but What Are Collectors Actually Paying?
Earlier this week, Draftsim documented Star Trek autograph listings reaching as high as $32,000 on eBay.
Those included a William Shatner signed Captain Kirk and a Patrick Stewart signed Captain Picard, alongside other autographed cards carrying five figure asking prices.
For now, the $7,500 Spock deal offers an early glimpse of what collectors might actually pay, rather than what sellers hope to get. With Star Trek officially launching November 13, more signed cards entering the secondary market should help establish whether those five figure asking prices have staying power.
