Presented in this special photostudy is a compilation of selected imagery from The Greg Jein Collection Auction Exhibit that was set up at the Heritage Auctions headquarters building in Dallas, Texas in preparation for the historic auction event which took place last weekend and garnered over $13.6 million in total sales. The Academy Award and Emmy Award nominated model builder and special effects artist Greg Jein was an avid lifelong fan/collector/expert on Star Trek: The Original Series and his memorabilia collection featured some of the most iconic screen used pieces from this first Star Trek televison series, which shall be a primary focus of the following imagery. A total of 132 lots of TOS props, costumes and production material were part of the Greg Jein collection, including 6 extremely rare landing party hand props and no less than 6 William Shatner Original Series costumes. An auction of this magnitude with respect to Star Trek:TOS memorabilia will simply never be seen again.
Special thanks to my friend and fellow Star Trek fan David Wendelburg, who attended the auction in Dallas, and very graciously supplied all of the exhibit photography that is shown in this article. Just click on any of the images below to view an enlarged version ...
