Star Trek 50th Anniversary – Lenticular SS Official First Day Cover VERY RARE - $30 - (Winnipeg, MB)

It showcases two stamps that pay tribute to the futuristic vision of series creator Gene Roddenberry. One features the transporter used to beam people from one location to another in the blink of an eye; the other, a scene from the penultimate episode in the series’ first season, “The City On the Edge of Forever.” Stamp designer Kosta Tsetsekas, of Vancouver-based Signals Design Group, saw the lenticular technique, an opportunity to recognize both the show’s futuristic vision and the now old-fashioned special effects that brought it to life.ISSUE DATE: May 5, 2015STAMP DESIGNER: Signals Design GroupDID YOU KNOW?“The City on the Edge of Forever” is not only one of the most critically acclaimed episodes from the original Star Trek series but has also been ranked by some as one of the greatest episodes in television history.The transporter on Star Trek worked by converting its subjects into an energy pattern to beam them to their target, then rematerializing them into matter.
