My Shatner-Nimoy plaque I got at Tate's Comics in Ft Lauderdale. Nice pick-up sir!

Thanks James! Yours are so cool! It’s fun that this hobby can extend into so many different areas. I’m a huge baseball fan and card collector of the vintage stuff but certainly enjoy some of the entertainment industry items as well. I’ve been watching Star Trek since I was a little kid and I’m glad that these cards are available for me to enjoy. So happy to pick this up.

Small potatoes compared to most of the pickups here, but he was my favorite player when I was a kid, and it’s my first Venezuelan Topps.

Two things you should never mention on a first date are Star Trek and baseball card collecting. Found that out the hard way...

Spock is the patron saint of Aspergers folks like me and my daughter.

On one occasion my wife (who is neurotypical) was in a snit and blurted out that living with my daughter and me is like living with two Vulcans. My daughter said "She's highly illogical. Why did you marry her?" I replied "It seemed like the logical thing to do at the time." My wife was not amused...Humans, am I right?

Excellent. And congrats on the Cobb and Joss!

I would add The Three Stooges to that list. Still waiting to meet a female fan.

And if you delve into music, Devo is another that can quickly kill a first date.

You can add Bob Dylan--the GOAT in my book--to that list. Near-universal scorn from the ladies in my experience, and rightly so if you are listening to the words.
I doubt many guys are big fans of Alanis Morissette, either.

My wife is actually a huge Dylan fan. So they're out there.

I'd happily see Alanis Morissette any night of the week live over Bob Dylan. She just played in NJ to rave reviews. Dylan is great live if you want to hear 2.5 hours of a guy "singing" through his nose with his back turned to the audience.

No woman is capable of understanding Steely Dan.

At my brother's wedding, I concluded my toast with "live long and prosper," to mixed reviews.

[nolemmings]

I remember long ago when I was trying my hand at fixing the garbage disposal and my then wife and very little girl were growing impatient. Paraphrasing Scotty I pulled out my best brogue and said " I can't change the laws of physics, I've got to have twenty minutes". The wife's eyes rolled and the daughter looked genuinely concerned about me.

[Carter08]

Seeing those Star Trek cards just opened up another rabbit hole for me. Beautiful cards. Speaking of rabbit holes, I picked up the 48 Leaf lot on LOTG.

[Exhibitman]

Dan: thanks. Two big wants off my want list.

Peter: At a friend's wedding the court of which I was part were all sci fi geeks and we ended the ceremony with a Klingon salute. That crowd loved it.

Todd: I often have the same experience with my wife when I quote the wisdom of Spock, Kirk or Scotty. Speaking of brogues, when fixing something I always go with the Brogan Adjustment. Our super in the apartment building where I grew up was Irish and had a heavy shoe with his tools. When something didn't quite fit he'd hammer it with his shoe (brogan) a few times and knock it into place. He told me it was a Brogan Adjustment. My wife is a native Californian and had never heard of that I guess, so the first time I pulled off my shoe and whacked a piece of IKEA furniture into square while doing my best Irish brogue she had quite a laugh.

When we were in college one of the many get-rich-quick schemes we dreamed up (but never did) was a doorbell that, when pushed, would have Bones' voice saying "Dammit, I'm a doctor, not a doorbell..."

My best story along those lines happened with a date at the movies watching "Monty Python and the Holy Grail." She sat stone-faced through most of it while I was flailing around in my seat with laughter, then announced during the "Black Knight" scene that she was leaving. If she hadn't also been a friend and co-worker, I probably would have just let her go. "None shall pass!" indeed. Had a similar experience watching "Dr. Strangelove" with a lady, who didn't see the humor in a single second of it. Good lessons in how different from one another we can be in our perceptions and tastes.
