Signed Copy Of To The Stars By George Takei With Backstage Ephemera Appraisal

Signed Copy of 'To the Stars' by George Takei with Backstage Ephemera

This lot features an open copy of George Takei's autobiography, 'To the Stars,' published in 1994, bearing a bold, black ink signature from the author on the title page or front flyleaf. The signature 'George Takei' is clear and exhibits his characteristic fluid, looping script. Tucked inside are unique provenance pieces, including two purple 'Backstage Pass' laminated cards with a 'Trek Productions' logo and a metal clip, as well as a glossy photograph showing a man in a striped shirt sitting at a table with beverages. The book is a hardcover with a white dust jacket featuring royal blue and black typography. Condition-wise, the items show light signs of handling; there is a minor water stain or foxing visible on the interior white pages of the book, and the ephemera shows typical post-event wear with light surface scratches on the laminates. The presence of the backstage passes and the personal photo suggests these items belonged to someone with direct access to Takei or Star Trek production events, significantly enhancing the item's provenance and appeal to Trek collectors.
