Check Out the Vintage Charm of These Star Trek Conventions

With WonderCon and San Diego Comic Con both (rightly) postponed this spring and summer, we're looking back at some of our favorite convention shots from yesteryear. We can't wait to see our family of fans again in person! But, in the meantime, get planning on those costumes, and perhaps consider grabbing a few Star Trek masks to go with them, just to be safe!
