Rare ‘Star Trek’ collector’s items up for grabs at auction

Resisting this auction would be futile.

The penultimate collector’s items for die-hard “Star Trek” fans — Captain James Tiberius Kirk’s phaser and communicator, used by actor William Shatner during the filming of the ’60s series’ 79 episodes — will be up for grabs next week, along with over 200 other props, costumes, scripts, and conceptual sketches from the original series as well as the shows and films that followed.

Julien’s Auctions is hosting the “Bid Long and Prosper” auction in Beverly Hills on Nov. 9. Early bidding has already begun online.

The particular phaser being auctioned off is one of four created back in 1966 for the series, and features “intricate details and moving parts that were unique to those few props, making it exceedingly rare.”

Julien’s said the phaser was thought to be lost until recently. The prop is expected to fetch $200,000.

Shatner’s iconic tunic and pants from the show can also be yours, so long as you have $50,000 plus.

Also going under the hammer is one of the two communicators used on the show by Shatner. Bidding starts at $150,000.

Fans can also bid on a number of spacesuits worn by Shatner and the late Leonard Nimoy and James Doohan, along with production-used chalk slates, filming miniatures, costume jewelry, storyboard pages, and signed scripts and promotional photographs.

Pieces of the U.S.S. Enterprise’s actual bridge are also being sold, including a chair (with a $4,000 opening bid), Nichelle Nichols’ console (bidding starts at $1,250), and the ship’s self-destruct panel (priced at $1,500). Wall and console panels and a section of the bridge’s railing are also hitting the auction block.

Julien’s is also selling off costumes from “Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan” and “Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home,” including Spock’s white robe and headband, and outfits worn by Jolene Blalock for the series “Star Trek: Enterprise.”

Shooting schedules, crew jackets, and binders packed with exclusive production photos, taken by different crew members, will also be available to all well-heeled Trekkies.

You’ll even be able to bid on one of Gene Rodenberry’s business cards, encased in acrylic. That item’s opening bid is $300.
