Got $50K to bid? Own a piece of ST-TOS history

Posted on March 19, 2007 by Mark Baard

One of Spock’s first tunics (from Star Trek: The Original Series) is up for auction. I have no doubt this is an authentic item. I interviewed the ST-TOS creators who hired Profiles in History to sell these items for them in 2002. Since then, the Beverly Hills-based firm has been slowly selling off these major items.

Kirk’s chair sold back then for $250K. At the time, William Shatner told me in an email that he wished afford it, and suggested he’d convert it into a toilet.

(NBC-TV, 1966-69) Light purple velour tunic with Starfleet “Science” insignia at the upper left chest, and single gold braid ranking insignia on each sleeve. The name “Nimoy” is handwritten in white ink in the shoulder zipper.
