Trek Auctions
Doing anything October 5-7? If not, and you’re a Star Trek fan, you might want to head to New York for the Christie’s auction of hundreds of Trek memorabilia items. Items from the original shows all the way to the most recent movie (Nemesis, oh yes), will be up for bid. Christie’s has created a website specifically for the Trek auction. And boy do they know their audience. Not only do they have a regular auction catalog for sale on the website, but also a "Special Limited Edition Box Set" auction catalog as well. Sci Fi Wire notes the highlights as:
- a miniature model of the U.S.S. Enterprise-A, seen in Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country, which is expected to draw between $15,000 and $25,000
- a Romulan Warbird ship used in several episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, estimated at $10,000 to $15,000
- a replica of Capt. James T. Kirk’s command chair from the original series, which was made for the 1996 Deep Space Nine episode "Trials and Tribble-ations," $10,000-$15,000
- Kirk’s (William Shatner) uniform from Star Trek: The Wrath of Khan, $7,000-$9,000
- Capt. Jean-Luc Picard’s (Patrick Stewart) jumpsuit uniform from Star Trek: The Next Generation, $8,000-$12,000.
I find it interesting that Picard’s uniform is fetching more than Kirk’s. Muah ha ha ha! The better captain wins! Psst, if anyone wants to get the LiB a very expensive present for no reason, any of the above would do quite nicely

Did you like Nemesis? I thought it was pretty good, but I’ve read that a lot of people did not.

Oh yes, I liked Nemesis well enough. Better than Generations ten times over, though I realize that is blasphemy in some circles.
