Sci-Fi auction features several one of a kind pieces and other memorabilia from the original Star Wars movie and Star Trek TOS.

FULLERTON, CA, USA, January 6, 2016 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Auction Place’s www.Tap.bid is the online gateway for those wanting to own a piece of history, movie memorabilia or find a hidden treasure online. Their upcoming Sci-Fi auction is an absolute must for fans and movie buffs, featuring several one of a kind pieces and other memorabilia from the original Star Wars movie and Star Trek TOS and more as part of a special auction on January 9, 2016 at 3:00pm Pacific Standard Time. This large collection of memorabilia features extremely rare items including…

R2-D2 One of Kind
The rarest and most desirable of all Star Wars memorabilia has always been production material tied to the main cast of the original three films. One of the cornerstone pieces of this auction is just such a piece of production artwork: a one of a kind model sheet for the intrepid droid, R2-D2. This model sheet was used in the short-lived “Droids” animated series. The sheet is hand drawn and depicts R2 in a number of Western-themed Cowboy and Indian costumes intended for use in an episode. This is a very unique and highly entertaining piece of design work from Star Wars early history, completely one of a kind. Click here to view the R2-D2 image.

Kirk and Khan
A very rare, limited edition plaque, signed by both William Shatner as Captain Kirk, and Ricardo Montalban as Khan. Excellent signatures in their own right, it is exceedingly rare to find these two actor’s autographs together on one piece. These autographs are signed on a beautiful color photo screen capture from the famous Original Series TV episode “Space Seed,” to which the legendary “Wrath of Khan” was a sequel. That movie, largely due to Montalban’s performance opposite Shatner, rocketed the Star Trek franchise back to life. Montalban’s Khan has since become the most famous villain of Star Trek history - appropriate for the nemesis of its most famous Captain. Click here to view the Kirk and Khan image.

Stormtrooper Helmet
This replica of a Stormtrooper helmet from the original Star Wars films bares the signatures of an astounding number of actors who played the Empire’s infamous soldiers. This may be the most complete set of Stormtrooper signatures ever offered for auction, and they’re on a full sized helmet to boot. A helmet with this many signatures… is simply unheard of. The legwork, time, and money involved in getting a helmet, tracking down the actors, attending the shows, and paying for the autographs would be astronomical.

The Original Enterprise Crew
A must-have piece for any Star Trek collector, and indeed the ultimate crown jewel for many, this framed display of the Original Enterprise Crew is signed by ALL SEVEN of the principle cast. Certified, licensed, and 100% authentic, this piece is an incredible find. While most of the original cast were known for making themselves available to the fans for autographs over the years, the show will be 50 years old this year, and half of the cast are no longer with us. This is an exceptional centerpiece to any Star Trek collection, and is literally impossible to duplicate.
