In keeping with Trek's big Four- Oh!
Here's something totally different....
Original Trek Scripts on Sale
Boy is it ever a busy time for you Star Trek collectors. First, there was the news of a whole heap of original Star Trek swag being sold at a hoity-toity auction from which you probably can't even afford to buy a pen, and now we hear that editions of original Trek scripts going on sale as well. Please note, if you will, the ever important word "editions" in the middle of the last sentence -- the actual, honest-to-goodness scripts used by the actors and such are not going on sale. Rather, Roddenberry dot com (teamed up with the omnipresent Cafe Press) is releasing limited edition runs of classic Trek scripts in commemoration of the show's big four-oh. Currently on sale is the script for the original series pilot The Cage, which will stay on sale for only one month. For each month after for about three years (that's 36 or so scripts if you are counting), the site will offer one new script, chosen from the most popular/famous episodes of Trek, Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager, Enterprise, and yes, Star Trek Animated. The first one is debuting at $25, which is probably a good indication of what the rest will cost, as well.
& & & (just so J knows the UK has NOT been left out  )
*copies*
A good-sized pile of Star Trek stuff, from shows including everything from the original series up through Nemesis, will be sold in early October. It'll be the first official auction of authentic SW ST stuff, according to their PR people, and will include everything from Vulcan jewelery to Starfleet minidresses -- over 100 items, all told.
The crummy news: There is probably no way you can afford it, unless you've been hoarding money for years just for this chance. The sale will take place at the swanky Christie's auction house in New York on October 5, to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Star Trek TV. Lots of high-powered bidders will be there to spend absurd amounts of money on fake sci-fi weaponry. And hey ... wouldn't you, if you had the means?
The items are currently on display at Christie's of London and will tour in August and September, hitting four American cities so everyone stateside can ogle the goods. The final stop will of course be New York, where the three day auction will take place, putting lots of money into the pockets of people who had nothing to do with the series. But at least it'll allow (hopefully) a few real fans to get real pieces; they'll cherish them far more than any studio ever could.
