A collection of stamps from Canada's Star Trek stamp series with prints of the Spock (Leonard Nimoy) stamp. From 2016 through 2017, a series of 16 stamps celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Star Trek franchise were released in Canada, with the nine stamps featuring imagery from the original 1966 series released on May 5, 2016.

This collectible box set, from the personal collection of Leonard Nimoy's daughter Julie Nimoy, features the Enterprise and the 50th anniversary logo on the cover and contains those first nine stamps, including the five stamps of Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner), Commander Spock (Leonard Nimoy), Dr. Leonard "Bones" McCoy (DeForest Kelley), Lt. Cmdr. Montgomery "Scotty" Scott (James Doohan), and Commander Kor (John Colicos); an animated lenticular sheet of the transporter and Guardian of Forever stamps, a coil dispenser with the stamps of the Enterprise and Klingon Battle Cruiser; and a glossy booklet of facts and imagery. Also included are 200 large-scale colour prints of the Spock stamp. The box exhibits some corner wear and the prints exhibit some slight bending. Dimensions: (largest) 42 cm x 31.75 cm x 10.25 cm (16.5" x 12.5" x 4")
