Provenance

Where it came from

The Captain James T. Kirk card, numbered 1701, is part of the foundational Star Trek trading card sets that emerged alongside the show's syndication success. It was produced to capitalize on the cult following of the original series, serving as a piece of memorabilia that distilled the adventurous spirit of the 1960s television landscape into a collectible format for fans of science fiction.

The design typically features an iconic production still of William Shatner as Captain Kirk, chosen to emphasize his role as the quintessential leader of the USS Enterprise. While these cards were initially marketed as mass-produced promotional material for the franchise, they have since become touchstones of nostalgia, valued for their role in documenting the early visual identity of the Star Trek universe.
