The Summer Entertainment Sale was an auction dedicated to the science fiction franchise, offering memorabilia from Star Trek’s 1960s origins through to 2009’s successful box office hit.

Among the auction’s lots offered were number of iconic props, including guns and communication devices used by the USS Enterprise’s crew, uniforms and other related memorabilia.  One of the auction’s big sales was Ambassador Spock’s gray leather parka and gloves as he is marooned on Delta Vega by Captain Nero in “Star Trek” (Paramount Pictures, 2009) and worn by Leonard Nimoy.

The parka jacket was auctioned with an estimate of $5,000-7,500 but it finally realised $8,960 – a massive £5,985.64!
