Profiles In History Star Trek Auction Preview - June 12, 2010

This summer's Profiles In History entertainment memorabilia auction "Hollywood Auction 40" will be a major three-day event held on Thursday, Friday & Saturday June 10 - 12, 2010 at Calabasas Hills, California. The final day of auction activity is reserved for an incredible offering of 292 Star Trek lots spanning all series and motion pictures. Yes, even Star Trek (Paramount, 2009) is represented in the form of Lot 1299, a Zachary Quinto screen-worn Spock ear. Profiles, which has earned a prestigious reputation in the history of Star Trek memorabilia sales by offering such iconic items in past sales as Captain Kirk's Original TOS Bridge Chair, the original TOS Helm/Navigations console and historic items from the Matt Jefferies, Bob Justman and John Dwyer collections; has truly assembled an outstanding array of Star Trek offerings for next month's event - highlighted by the Balok Puppet Head from the 1st season Original Series episode "The Corbomite Maneuver", a 3rd Season TOS Chekov command tunic & pants, a 3rd Season TOS engineering tunic & pants, dozens of "hero" working hand props (including multiple working Tricorders) from ST:TNG onwards, and even some screen-used Starship models (a background Ferengi ship and an elaborate Jem'Hadar Warship.) The major descriptor for this amazing sale truly seems to be "hero prop". As well, there are many examples of rarely seen Star Trek alien technology to complement the Starfleet items at auction.
