It's an Auction, Jim, but Not as We Know It

I can't believe all this cool Star Trek memorabilia is sitting in a warehouse in the Bronx!

I wouldn't be surprised if the Hilton buys a lot of it. Their museum in Las Vegas is already pretty good.

Here's slightly more information, with links to info on thier site, from Christie's latest email blast. (I love it when people with no experience within the genre try to write ad copy for genre-related stuff....)

The funny part was, I couldn't always tell if it was German or Klingon that they were speaking.

That's not funny. That's sad. :\
