It's a Wrap eBay auctions - Week 105 / 106 Results

Auctions beginning December 12th, 19th.

I have decided to just go with Burt's system of auction week numbering. It is based on when auctions start. Check out the Star Trek Auctions Archive for any information you need on the IAW auctions!

While Week 105 only had 2 items, Week 106 had 156 items! A big week.

Total sales were approximately $ 49,000 and the average item was $ 375. It was a very strong week with 12 items over $ 1,000 and 6 over $ 2,000!

The Costumes

The Captain Picard Star Trek: Generations costume was a great deal at only $ 2,750. It is one of the ones used on Veridian 3, which you can tell as there is no Velcro on the chest for a comm badge. In the movie, Picard beamed down without one to confront Soran. This is a pretty rare one for Picard, and the version I proudly own myself. It is slightly distressed, but still a great deal on a Captain!

A dynamite Cardassian Military Uniform went for a very reasonable $ 2,639, to forum member Chris. Good buy Chris! I have one of these and they are impressive on display and I think this was a very fair price.

The First Contact Style Dr. Crusher Starfleet Uniform sure looked nice, and was fully priced at $ 2,625. The photograph made this look really good and it will display well.

Jordino from New York, a Star Trek Forum member and premier Vulcan costume collector, won the Vulcan Kohlinahr Master Under Robe at a very strong $ 2,263. This is supposedly from ST:TMP and I am sure Jordino knows what he is doing as he has a great Vulcan collection!

Forum member Donna continued to add to her impressive collection with the Jadzia Dax Starfleet uniform from trhe DS9 pilot "Emissary" at $ 2,125. I like this as we didn't see this style much in DS9 and it looks great in that sciences blue. IAW lists this as being in perfect condition.

The Feature Style Vulcan Priestess Costume at $ 1,800 was very high for a costume that typically goes for $ 400! Sure it was complete, but I think this was WAY too high and gets the "Worst Buy" award this week. It was a nice copy with great details, but still way above market price right now.

The Pavel Chekov Class C was a beauty and at $ 1,675 a fairly priced costume.

The Props:

The Voyager EPS Relay from "Relativity" was an important prop from a great episode, and it went for a strong $ 2,562. Nicely made from metal, this is a great prop and a good addition to Hank1701's collection.


The Klingon Pain Stick at $ 1,493 was higher than previous versions, but still a fair price for a great prop.

Not many more good props this week!

Week 112 Preview

Well, because I am so buried trying to get out 800 lots of Battlestar Galactica props & costumes, my good friend Katie is going to guest blog!

Stardate February 2, 2009:

Here we are in Week 112, according to the startrekpropcollector.com Archive. Can you believe it – who knew IAW had this much to offer? With rumors flying around that the ‘end is near-- the end is near’ just like the ‘sky is falling’ – Collectors of props and costumes are amazed in what has turned into weeks, months, and years that these auctions just keep going!

This week in particular seems be packed with fabulous costumes featured from TOS through the ST Movies. A rarity is a costume from the Original Series (TOS) from the episode “The Enemy Within” a blue jumpsuit worn by a researcher from planet Alfa 177, a rare costume indeed!

For the Captain collectors, IAW has pulled out a Captain Picard “Commando” Variant Uniform Lot, which is a combination Hero and Stunt and would be perfect for someone who can’t live without a piece of the great Jean Luc!

If Picard is not your Captain of choice, there is a Kate Mulgrew civilian lot up for auction consisting of a turtleneck sweater and a black blouse that would be a fabulous addition to any VOY collection.

One of the most well known costumes up for auction is Leonard Nimoy’s Vulcan Robe and Tunic costume from the Undiscovered Country. We don't see many Spock costumes, and this is a nice piece, though incomplete.

Another well known movie offering this week is the Command Red Dress Uniform featured in Insurrection, DS9 and ST X, which would be a nice addition (and probably a reasonable price) to any Star Trek collection.

If you are a ST I fan, there is a Civilian Federation Costume as well as a shirt from the first Trek movie. Another Costume Lot featured in the big screen is a Star Trek II Khan Henchman Lot, for those Khan Noonien Singh lovers. The head piece in this lot is very nice and a great color.

For the DS9 collector, IAW has a Commander Kira Nerys Red Starflee uniform, a nice item for the Nana Visitor or DS9 fan that was used in Season 7. For the unusual Trek Prop collector or if you just want to start, a skinned Klingon Targ prop used in the ENT episode “Sleeping Dogs,” would be a great conversation piece for those boring cocktail parties.

These are just a few of the items that are up for Week 112, it appears to be a great week for the Trek Collector. After two years and one month, still going strong and if we are lucky, IAW will continue auctions with these types of treasures.
