| What's does the back say? It looks like his regular TOS Season 3 Skybox autograph card #A77, but I see it's called a "2-card uncut autograph sheet" on eBay. There are 2 pairs up now.
I know nothing about it, but I didn't do much early Trek, so that's no answer. I would say that the signature's ink on both pairs for sale looks different from that used on the regular A77. Skybox seals could sometimes be missing and might not even be on uncut cards, but these are signed.
This can't be something that hasn't been kicking around since 1999, so either its well known by Star Trek card collectors or it isn't. There are very few new discoveries on old cards as a general rule. |

| I remember awhile back seeing on ebay Richard Kiel (Jaws) autos which were slightly oversized versions of his regular auto card from one of the James Bond sets by Rittenhouse. It was said that RA gave these to him to sign at conventions. Maybe it's the same thing. |

| I have a similar, slightly oversized #A73 Skybox TOS card signed by Susan Howard from Season 3 also. I don't know where I got it and it's just a common. I never figured out if it was genuine or not, but it's hardly worth counterfeiting, so maybe there were some non-standard cards or sheets that came from 1999 Skybox. If there was, others would have them too. |

The back looks exactly like a Skybox ST Autograph card.

| I don't know if Skybox actually had them sign the doubles and cut them down, but it was pretty common for actors to have multiple-card uncuts from signing. Either they were allowed to keep them, or they just kept a few for themselves. I have several from Babylon 5 releases from Skybox that I got directly from the actors. One 2-card and one 3-card at least. Oh, where did I put those? Ed |
