Week 22 Preview
Well, this week is why I think all those re-lists should have been saved to this week. The costume selection is really weak and the prop selection fair. I think we all need time to recover from the record week we just finished.
The Klingon Warrior Costume is the top costume so far and the only real standout this week. These have gone in the $ 1,800 range previously, but with it already being so high, this will probably go in the $ 2,500 range. Again, no boots.
The first Guinan costume was listed this week, and so it will be interesting to see where this one goes. It is only at $ 600, so I expect this to finish under $ 2,000.
The Major Kira Dress uniform is really beautiful and comes with boots. What great fabric and it also has the rank and comm badges. This could easily top $ 3,000 as Kira uniforms have b een commanding $ 3,500 prices.
The Miles O'Biren Distressed uniform is VERY cool in that the distressing is quite impressive. This is the First Contact style and the gold operations colors always look great with this type. This one will display really well and could be the centerpiece of a collection. O'Brien fans should look hard at this one (and their bank accounts) and be willing to fork over $ 1,500 minimum for this.
The Harry Kim Dress uniform is nice in that you don't see many of these. This should go in the $ 1,500-2,000 range. I own the Task Yar dress uniform, which is similar and I can tell you these are beauties. Throw a Comm Badge (from Federation Surplus of course) and this will display great!
The last Nog costume went for $ 1,691, and this one will go for about the same I would expect. It is the nice First Contact style Nog got when he became an ensign. I told you there were more. :-)
There is a nice Voyager style Reg Barclay costume that I think could be a sleeper. Reg was a great character in Voyager and I am sure there are fans of this character out there. This if teh first Barcaly we have seen. This is probably also the rarer style as he was mostly in the later episodes, when Starfleet had changed to the First Contact style uniform (though Voyager's crew still used the earlier ones).
The Noss costume from the Voyager episode "Gravity" is pretty cool and worn by Lori Petty in that episode. I think this is a great guest costume and should go at a reasonable price. It is complete with gloves and boots.
The Picard civilian costume from Family is a very cool Picard costume. It is only at $ 290 now, but this will go around $ 1,500 for sure. This is an important TNG episode and this costume is one of the better Picard civilian costumes.
The Twin Borg Boy costume is one used by the double for the twins from the Voyager episode "Collective". It is cool in that it is a partial body suit. The Azan one of these went previously for $ 1,358.
Finally, the Irina costume from the Voyager episode "Drive" is really beautiful. Great fabrics and colors make for a costume that will look great on display.
As far as props go:
The Voyager Starfleet Compression Phaser Rifle is the top prop, already at $ 1,275. It will certainly top $ 3,000 as it is a hero resin version. Now I think many of us agree that this is the ugliest Phaser rifle ever. But still, it is a Phaser Rifle, which have all gone over $ 2,300 so far.
The Grand Nagus Staff is pretty cool, though broken and missing the lower half. None the less, a great prop for all you Ferengi collectors! I have no idea where this will go, but I know a few people want it.
The DS9 Starfleet PADD is a nice version and lights up. These have been going about $1,300-1,800. This one is already at $ 665.
The Voyager Briefing Room Chair is nice and I wish I lived in LA so I could buy this and pick it up, but the thought of paying for shipping is daunting. Still, who wouldn't like to have a chair from Voyager in their office?
The Prop Borg arm is AMAZING and will certainly hit $ 1,500. Look at the detailing....very cool. I don't even collect Borg stuff, but this is still a piece that has huge appeal.
The Horga'hn Statuette is another piece everyones seems to know about and should do well. It is some kind of polystyrene, but the description actually denotes that this is the best one remaining, and I applaud IAW for including good info like that!
I like the rubber Mek'Leth, and I saw one of these at Burbank at the Star Trek convention and I liked it a ton. At $ 293, this will go in the $ 600-800 range and will look great on display.
The Yesterday's Enterprise Crewman Belt is very cool, but does anyone else find this photo confusing? It would go great with a costume from that episode, of which we have only seen the Tasha Yar at Christie's.
Finally, the Alternate Universe Comm Badge is really interesting. We haven't seen one of these before, and it will be interesting to see where this one goes. I like the way they incorporated the rank with the comm badge.

Good hunting!

Week 21
It's a Wrap set a sales record by a wide margin with a weekly gross of $124,287.25. It was a great week for costumes, and there were some high prices on mediocre star costumes.
The Star Trek: TMP Spock Class D uniform at $6,100.03 was the top costume of the week. There was no uniform insignia and no shoulder strips. This may have been because this jumpsuit was used at the end of the movie under their field jackets. You never see anything but the collar and legs of this uniform. So, for this to go so high I think is a bit much.
The Casual Kirk from the beginning of Star Trek II:TWOK was second highest. This went for $ 5,700 the last time it was on (It was relisted because of a fraudulent buyer). It went even higher this time at $ 6,100.
The Star Trek: TMP Dr. McCoy Class C Jacket Wrap went for a ridiculous $5,166.66 since it was never worn in the movie! Like many other Star Trek: TMP costumes, it was made and never used. And for that price you expect a screen-used costume.The Admiral Kirk Class B is a great costume. I think it is the best costume Kirk wears in The Motion Picture. It doesn't have a chest insignia, but it does have a bio-monitor buckle and shoulder insignia. It sold for $ 4,905.
The Star Trek VII: Generations Captain Picard Uniform at $4,050.03 was pretty much in line with other Captain's costumes which have 
sold in the $ 3-4,000 range. I won this and now have 4 of the 5 captain;s costumes, so I was pretty happy. This is the costume Picard wore while he battled Soran on Veridian III with Kirk at the end of Generations, so I think it is an important Picard costume.
The Worf costume went for a very healthy $ 4,000. Partly this is due to the presence of a comm badge and rank pips. Still, that is as much as this week's Picard!
The Star Trek V Kirk Climbing costume sold at Christie's for $ 3,000, but sold here for $ 3,650. It's a cool costume that is pretty important in Star Trek V.
The Klingon Costume that Neelix wore in the Star Trek: Voyager Episode "The Killing Game" is another re-list that went for $ 3,650. The strongest Klingon costume so far, it came in a week when we also saw the Gorkon from Star Trek VI sell for $ 3,250, so it was a big week for Klingons!
The Spock Sickbay Costume at $ 2,9820 was a shocker. Yes, it is a key scene in ST: TMP, but still, it isn't a Starfleet uniform, so I think it is a bit much.
The Riker went for a very strong $2,820. This is the black and gray version from Star Trek Nemesis. I good buy I think as there wasn't one of these at Christie's.
At $ 2,816, the Scotty Class D was a bit high for a costume with no insignia or shoulder strips.The Willard Decker though went for $ 2,750, which wasn't bad. It just was missing the wrist rank stripes.
The Commando Spock went for $ 2,550 which was a steal! This is an important costume and used through most of Star Trek V. I can't believe it went so low.
The Uhura distressed Class B from ST: TMP was WAY overpriced at $ 2,469. It looks pretty bad and is incomplete. I am really surprised where this went.The TMP Off Duty Tunic is like the one Ilia wore, but not hers. It went 
for $ 2,227, which I think is strong for a non-character costume. The last time one of these was on it went fro $ 3,000.
The Tuvok Maroon Officer costume went for a modest $ 2,215. I think this was a great deal, even though the jacket isn't Tim Russ's. These are iconic costumes and the last two have gone in the $ 2,800 range.
Here are some other costume prices realized:
Star Trek: Insurrection Data's underwater costume $ 1,927
Reasonable Price for a nice costume with good screen time.
Star Trek: First Contact Borg costume $ 1,925
Borg costume prices dropped a bit. last one went for $ 2,200.
Star Trek V Captain Kirk Commando Stunt costume $ 1,923
A great deal on a Kirk! (Even though it is not a Shatner)
Star Trek: TNG Starfleet Admiral costume $ 1,801
Strong price for a costume that has gone under $ 1,000 previously.
Star Trek III Star Trek III Security armor $ 1,591
Almost same price as last time. Great costume!
Star Trek: Generations Geordi LaForge costume $ 1,582
Very reasonable price
Star Trek: TMP white radiological suit $ 1,575
About right for a nice costume
Star Trek: TMP Dr. Chapel Sickbay Uniform $ 1,454
Not correct, but fair price.
Star Trek: TMP Ilia Starfleet uniform $ 1,315
Same type as the McCoy that went for $ 5,166Star Trek: TMP David Marcus top $ 1,254
Iconic costume. Good price!
Star Trek: Nemesis Starfleet Jumpsuit $ 1,225
People LOVE these operations gold ones!
Star Trek: Insurrection Anij Costume $ 1,030
Good price on main character costume
Star Trek: TMP Chekov Class B Uniform Shirt $ 1,010
The shirt Chekov wore when he got burned.
As far as Props go:
The Type III Mk 2 Phaser rifle went for a reasonable $ 2,600. First one of these we have seen.
The Nemesis style Phaser Rifle went for $ 2,325, which is inline with previous sales.
The Kolaran cannon was a surprise at $ 1,225. I am kind of surprised this went so high, but everyone has different tastes!The Klingon Bat'leth went for a reasonable $ 910; close to what previous ones have gone for.
I think I got a great deal as I won the Reman Rifle at $ 888. These are pretty nice as I saw one in person at the Burbank Star Trek convention last month. There IAW wanted $ 1,500, so I am pleased.
The fifth Klingon mask we have seen so far went for $ 812. So the prices are coming down on these .
Amazingly, the small black and amber Vulcan Jewelry went for $ 800! Way high for a simple piece that has no recognizable value.
The Borg Skull went for $ 710. Ths was not the one from the end of Star Trek: First contact, as this simply does not match up, but may have been made for that scene as it is similar, just teh wrong materials.
Finally, the Kolaran bust went for $ 510, which I think was a good deal. It is quite beautiful, and already mounted. Still, I suggest contacting Tom Spina and getting this preserved.
THIS WEEK'S AWARDS:
Best Costume of the Week: The Star Trek: TMP Admiral Kirk Class B Uniform is my favorite Kirk from TMP and I think this was the class of the week.
Best Prop of the Week: The Type 3, Mark 2 Phaser Rifle is a beauty, and I just lost out on this. (My buddy has one he is willing to trade, so I didn't want to go too high). Not as cool as the Mark 3, but still very cool!
Best Buy of the week: The Spock Commando Costume at $ 2,550 is a STEAL! An important Spock at this price is amazing.
Worst Buy of the week: The Star Trek: TMP Dr. McCoy Class C Jacket Wrap Way high for a costume never used on-screen.
Sleeper of the Week: The Regula Scientist "Jedda" costume is a beauty and very recognizable. A steal at $ 687.5 HIGHEST PRICED ITEMS THAT SOLD
Star Trek: TMP Spock Class D uniform $6,100.03
