Bid Long and Prosper Star Trek auction brings in a whopping $3.6 million dollars
As a lifelong Star Trek fanatic who’s been attending conventions since the days of the original series, I can confidently say that the latest “Bid Long and Prosper” auction from Julien’s Auctions was nothing short of spectacular! It was like stepping into the final frontier of collecting, where no man (or woman) has gone before… at least not with such astronomical prices!
Star Trek enthusiasts are unlikely to ever cease accumulating memorabilia. Regardless if they’ve designed a house specifically for displaying their collections or have a single shelf reserved for their select pieces, die-hard Star Trek collectors will persist in spending significant sums of money to acquire desired items. The recent “Bid Long and Prosper” Star Trek auction by Julien’s Auctions serves as clear evidence. [Paraphrased from Trekmovie]
At this auction, some Star Trek memorabilia broke previous price records, with the highest sale being Captain Kirk’s hero phaser, fetching an astonishing $910,000 after 27 bids. This was a remarkable achievement. In second place was Captain Kirk’s communicator, which garnered $780,000, also following 27 bids. Interestingly, it was predicted to sell for between $100,000 and $200,000!
As a passionate gamer, let me tell you, an auction without Star Trek costumes just doesn’t feel right. Julien’s Auctions certainly lived up to expectations with Captain Kirk’s command uniform from the first season, featuring a velour top and cropped pants, fetching a staggering $455,000! And guess what? It was expected to bring in less than $85,000. If you’re curious about other items up for grabs, take a look at the video above where William Shatner himself showcases some of the auction pieces.
Later, a Helm and Navigation console similar to that on the bridge of the Starship Enterprise (as seen in Star Trek: The Original Series) was auctioned off. It fetched a price of $260,000 after receiving twenty-two bids.
In addition, an authentic Deep Space Nine model was sold for a substantial $254,000, and Captain Janeway’s [Kate Mulgrew] chair as captain from Star Trek: Voyager fetched a decent $41,275 at the auction.
In summary, the auction turned out to be a fantastic success, demonstrating that Star Trek enthusiasts remain passionate about collecting. As soon as there are valuable collectibles on offer, they’re ready with their bids! Take a look at the array of items offered and the final bids at Julien’s Auctions.
