I have been lucky to amass a number of different Klingon Disruptors over the last ...

The new Star Trek movie added a whole new dimension to the hobby of collecting Star Trek screen-used props and costumes. There was now a whole new world of props and costumes to collect -- but none of it was publicly available. With two more movies to go on J.J.

The world of Star Trek prop and costume collecting has changed significantly since the Christie’s Star Trek auction in 2006.  After Christie’s sale of 1,000 items, an additional 10,000+ items were sold on eBay.
