Star Trek Business Cards by The Rocketeer.

I bought a set of business cards for the characters of Star Trek (The Original Series) in the 1980's at a Sci-Fi Convention. UnfortunatelyI don't know who the original manufacturer is or how to get more. I found them today whilst digging for some old photos. Best viewed in the Large Version.

Those are great. I always liked Harry Mudd. I guess Chekov considered business cards to be the tools of careerist bourgeois dogs, or something.

He thought they were invented in Russia. Not sure why there wasn't one for Chekov or Sulu.... they should have had one.

I like the Kirk one. Of the 10, that's the one I can actually imagine existing.

They could have made one for the anonymous redshirt who always bites it. Yeoman X, Cannon Fodder.

Gary Seven's apartment would appear to be located somewhere in the middle of the East River. Also, where's Roberta Lincoln's card?

The Rocketeer says:

TheBrad: I got them at a Sci-Fi convention. Not sure who originally made them, though.

Frankenstein: I was hoping someone could identify where Gary Seven's apt. was. Thanks. They didn't offer Roberta Lincoln's card. Wasn't Teri Garr hot back then?

Frankenstein says:

Yeah, the highest numbered address on East 68th St. is 599.

I bought a set of these at the '75 or '76 Star Trek convention at the Sheraton in NYC...I don't know when they disappeared from my life...Thank you so much for reviving the memories...

Current theory is that Gary Seven's apartment floats somewhere between Roosevelt island and the FDR Drive.

Look! Actual photos of 811 East 68th Street interior (Apartment 12B, I believe).

Kirk's would be perfect if it had his phone number scribbled on it, or even better a motel room number.

Awesome! I was wondering if they'd pick it up... my son loves to watch that show, and I think he taped it.

greatfxcards says:

awesome find! These look like simple raised print business cards. or possibly flat printed cards.

You could take this a step further and modernize the look and feel of these cards with full color glossy business cards. Heck you could probably sell them (just like you bought them) at conventions and make some extra money.

LiveTone says:

Hey these are great. I know a whole group ofbusiness card collectors who would be all over these. I have just forwarded this link to let them know about these..they will likely try and contact you and try and buy these business cards off of ya.

The Rocketeer says:

LiveTone: When I got noticed by Boing Boing and G4TV's "Attack of the Show" after posting these, I decided to sell them on eBay. They're gone, my friend. I got around $60 for the lot of them.

BelaOxmyx says:

Hey it seems I've come full circle. Several years ago I received a B&W copy of your business cards in a viral email. I found them again a few months ago and reposted them on my cubicle wall. I never thought I'd find the source. Then I did a Flickr search for Bela Oxmyx... my new user name - whick I took off that B&W copy on my wall. This is the only result in all of Flickr.

The Rocketeer says:

BelaOxmyx , thanks for the comment. Glad you found the original that I posted here as well.

I wonder who made a B&W copy of my scan and spread it around? :-(

These are awesome. Can I do a story about them on my star trek parody blog?

I'm assuming you probably wouldn't mind but I like to ask permission.

The Rocketeer says:

Sure, Wildfire76 ! Thanks for asking. I'll look for it on your blog.

The creators of these business cards was an outfit called "April Publications" who began producing them in the mid seventies. I believe they were based out east somewhere. I had a set myself. Very cool seeing them again.

You sound like me - thinning your herd of Trek memorabilia. I figure none of my nephews or nieces are into Trek so I might as well. I think these were great though. I hope you're not getting rid of all of your memories. I am getting rid of all the toys, figures and ships, but I am keeping all my autographs and card sets. Did you like the new movie? I think they did great with McCoy's part. If you're anywhere near Tulsa you might want to go to their 20th Anniv Con next month. You can see who'll be there by checking their site online, Starbase 21. Again, thanks for the peek around your Trek closet, you have /had some GREAT items!

The Rocketeer says:

Thanks, jawaatlarge. I did enjoy the new movie. I think I need to see it again to catch details that zipped by me in the first viewing.
