While players’ hype for Star Trek is bottoming out with extremely low prerelease attendance, collectors are finding something to be excited about: Players have begun cracking TRK’s autographed headliner cards, and the initial asking prices are around $30,000 on eBay.

TRK Headliners

Star Trek did something different with its headliners; while previous sets have chosen a single card to have a scant couple hundred copies (sometimes serialized, like Reality Fracture’s Bloodline Recollector, sometimes not, like The Hobbit’s Gleaming Gold Smaug the Magnificent), TRK had seven foil headliner cards:

Per Wizard’s Collecting Star Trek article, “there are fewer than 250 copies” of the headliner cards. Perhaps more enticingly, each card is signed by the actor who played the character, a first for the headliner series.

eBay Prices

eBay sellers have been asking incredible prices for these cards, some reaching $30,000. For example, this listing for a Captain James T. Kirk, or the following for a Captain Jean-Luc Picard:

Something that’s important to note about these prices is that a card has yet to sell for these asking prices. In fact, that Picard card was removed from eBay because the auction failed to meet their minimum asking price. People can ask whatever price they like but the actual value of these cards won’t be clear until people start purchasing them. It’s also worth noting that Picard and Kirk are outliers. Other listings include a Lt. Cmdr. Geordi La Forge for $15,165, Captain Kathryn Janeway for $20,000, and Lieutenant Commander Data for $9,500.

While one can’t accurately speculate what these cards will eventually start selling for, expect them to be on the higher end of headliners because these are more than Magic collectibles. Headliners for in-universe sets tend to go for a couple thousand. For example, Secrets of Strixhaven’s Emeritus of Ideation has sold on eBay for between $2,000-$3,500. But the demand for headliners like these will be much higher because these are also chase pulls for hardcore Star Trek fans, especially with the actors’ autographs. These have the potential to be the most expensive headliners in Magic.
