Battlestar Galactica Costumes, Props, Set Dressings, etc.. Auction

If you frequent other X:WP sites you've already heard of this very large auction of BSG items. This auction will occur over 2 days in January (17th and 18th) at the Pasadena Convention Center -- a site well known to Xena Convention attendees.

I'm still going through the nicely produced auction catalog (why in the heck didn't we get one of these when the X:WP/H:TLJ auctions were done?) and you'll find Lucy Lawless D'Anna outfits on pages 105 and 106 (see below):



But why settle on a costume worn by LL when you can have a Mark VII Viper of your very own? The auction estimate for the plane is $50-60K.


Going through the catalog, it looks as though the auction is composed of nicely cherry-picked items -- in other words, there probably aren't a lot of bargins here. There are interviews with the set designer, prop master, and costume designers, making this catalog a little more than just a genre TV prop and costume auction. Undoubtedly there are a lot of more items to be had, but this auction is very much like a museum of BSG items, nice and creamy, with no crapola. And the auction estimates reflect this very well.

Download your own catalog in high-res PDF here. And the company running the auction has a website and blog to try to drum up excitement over the auction. I think the items do that all by themselves. The auction is also co-sponsored by The SciFi Channel and Universal. Is there anyone planning to go to his event? If so, drop me a line and we can meet up (it might be really fun to watch the auction -- though you can do that online as well).
