I received an email about an auction happening this month of Star Trek props and collectibles that belonged to a former driver for Paramount Studios. Supposedly he worked on every Star Trek movie, and certainly has a lot of signs that are issued to crew parking on location. You can find the items here. An auction house called Ready Auction House is using a system called Proxy Bid. All of there auctions are here.There are some interesting lots, though most are collectibles. I suggest you look at all the lots starting with lot # 109. However, there is no order to these lots and the Star Trek items are littered throughout the auction. Really disappointing, and it doesn't speak well for the auction house's desire to create a compelling auction.
The most interesting lots are:
Lot #109 Star Trek Deep Space Nine Original Script “Profit and Lace” Final Draft, March 9, 1998 and set diagram”
Lot #112
Star Trek IX Insurrection Production Crew Badge, Sign, and Photos
Lot #115 Star Trek Enterprise Season One Production Signs (3), Transportation Sign, Enterprise Crew Sticker
Lot #158 Star Trek Nemesis Production Photocopies of the USS Enterprise E, Model
(The little model is interesting, but origin is unknown)
Lot #159 Star Trek Nemesis Film Sign, Paramount Pictures Corporation
Lot #160 Star Trek Nemesis Production Crew Jacket, Size Large
Lot #177 Star Trek DS9, Voyager, TNG Communicator Badge, Screen Used
