In 2010, the webstore for Leonard Nimoy at etsty.com called Secret Selves offered a free autograph card of Leonard Nimoy produced special by Rittenhouse Archives. To get the free card, all you had to do was purchase a special t-shirt for less then $30. There were a few color variations and Rittenhouse acquired a small amount which they sleeved with their special sticker.
