SANTA FE, NM October 28, 2010 (Press-News.org) He was the green-blooded, pointy-eared, extraterrestrial millions tuned into watch on the Star Trek TV series every week. Even though Mr. Spock never actually saved humanity from evil doers, got beamed up to a civilization more evolved than our own or less fit for habitation, no one really cared.
He was Spock—the clear-headed, rational and no monkey-business type guy you wanted around when you were in a jam. His unshakable composure was hard to come by--even on television.
"If someone came up to me and said, "You can't be Leonard Nimoy anymore. But you can be anyone else you want I wouldn't hesitate a beat with my answer. I'd want to be Spock. I like and respect and admire him," the actor said about his TV character Spock.
Right on.
And then there's the whole merchandising end of Star Trek. Everything from comic books to action figures flooded the market.
The most desirable collectibles are going to be items directly related to the characters and the making of the series and films. Costumes, props like phasers, rifles, badges, tricoders, communicators, all these items are hot.
On June 27 Julien's Auctions featured a Star Trek auction at Planet Hollywood.

Rosemary has provided auction coverage and analysis on thousands-and-thousands of antiques and collectibles sold since the column started 16-years ago. She includes auction sale results to give readers a feel for what their treasures are worth because the power of auctions is simple.
When the bidding stops and the hammer falls, the value of an item is set. The buyer, not the seller, sets the price, and this simple distinction cuts through all the chitchat about what art, antiques and collectibles are really worth. The emphasis is on today's values, not yesterday's wishful thinking.
Each week another new article is posted featuring a particular area of collecting.
• Every article showcases an auction item and how it fits into the big picture.
• A compelling, historical context is provided for the treasures people collect.
• Collecting tips are offered.
• Current "prices realized" are listed.
