Alleged Screen Used Hero TOS Phaser up for auction (now the aftermath)

[Gregatron]

I know several people put up a valiant effort to let the auction house know but they did not want to hear it or any evidence.

That’s like telling a bank robber in the midst of a robbery that someone is trying to rob the bank.

So, ummm, will anyone offer me 10K for this beauty? It's authentic. As in real. You can touch it....

Mine is before they handed it to Shatner in season one, and yours is after Shatner was done with it in season three.

Tangentially related, but is there really this big of a market for these?

Yeah, but not THAT big a market!

VHS is priceless in my heart, but that's ridiculous.

Yeah, but not THAT big a market!

OMG—for “The 8-Track Tapes of Video Media”??

That is just nuts.

For rich people who don't know any better to display in their home theater and brag about how much they spent on it, yes.

For the real world, no.

The same applies to forged phasers sold by conmen.

 

[Leinads]

Everything looks good. The seals look good, the watermarks look good. It’s the only known boxed 1st edition phaser in the world.

Not compared to them. They might think the opposite.

I know this is a tangent, but thought this was cool:

I picked up a copy of this book and it is excellent—with photos of the Jein Hero that I had never seen before.

I can’t recommend it highly enough.

There is also another book covering the Tricorder as well:

How many of his books are worth buying?

 

[feek61]

I have it, it has amazing photos but the print quality is just average. The phaser book is only photos of the prop on a white background. The tricorder book has measurements and such. Both worth picking up for sure; great reference.

 

[Ronldheld]

Volumes 5 and 6 are the ones to get?

 

[sapper36]

I got all of them - waiting on #4 to get here - Plenty of intersting reference in all of them. Others have mentuioned - No Footnotes so some things are a bit of a mystery.

Any news, lately? Frankly, I’ve been too disgusted to look into whether the Nichols forgeries have sold, or if there’s been any other recent fraud in phaserland.
