Space... the final front ears
THEY’RE sci-fi treasures to Klingon to...
Star Trek fans will be able to bid for Mr
Spock’s famous ears when a 200-piece collection from the franchise to be auctioned next month.
The artificial lugs, worn by the
Vulcan character made famous by
Leonard Nimoy, are estimated to fetch up to £2,000 in the Prop
Store’s first online auction to feature original costumes, props such as phasers, and art from seasons one and two of Star Trek:
Discovery and Star Trek: Short Treks.
The ears are from Nimoy’s own collection and proceeds will be donated in his memory to the UCLA Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases Research Programme.
His family has supported the scheme since the actor’s death due to complications with the disease aged 83, in 2015.
Tevrin Krit’s captain’s chair, Michael Burnham’s
command uniform and Christopher Pike’s captain’s uniform are also among treasures up for grabs and expected to sell for up to £7,000, £3,500 and £3,500 respectively. Over 200 lots will be offered from September 2 to 16.
Each item comes with a certificate of authenticity.
