Every now and then we get lucky and find something completely unique. Last week we picked up the signed copy of a 1968 Science Fiction convention or as its now called a 'Trek' convention, held at the Statler Hilton in Los Angeles and called Future Unbounded: Science Fiction Show and Convention. At the Statler Hilton Hotel, July 4, 5, 6, 7, 1968. Chairman- Charles A. Crayne etc. Dian Pelz, publication. Published July 4, 1968. 43 numbered pages with Gene Roddenberry's signature across the front cover of the program. Other signature as well, top signature is 'Kichaven' and second signature looks like 'Forrest' with the number '4' for the 'F'...Some toning to the spine from handling and otherwise it is in reasonably good but not perfect condition. Roddenberry items sell for hundreds of dollars. This item is an early Star Trek collectors item and quite rare and in good condition. You can go to the eBay web page by clicking on the photo below for a complete description of this rare ephemera and the opportunity to bid on it!
Rare ephemera like this item, even recently signed, well recent to some of us anyway, are becomming harder to find. We estimate the value of this item to be in the $250-$350 range as the 'master' behind the entire Star Trek genre was known to be a reluctant and somewhat reclusive person, making his signatures rarer and harder to find than the other cast of characters.
