This film has 51 bids right now and 5 plus hours to go. 46 of the bids are by one bidder. I don't recall ever seeing a bid spread like that before. I think this bidder has gone where no man has gone before, except for Bill Clinton. web page [Eek!]

This is what we call "Don't touch that one."

Just read the description. Yikes!

And he could have other bidders bidding just to drive the cost up, with intent of getting others to bid on it. Although currently the price is OK.

Buyer beware. I didn't know tapes could run through my Elmo.

Now it's up to 57. By the way, it's not my auction. I do not know the seller. [Smile]

63 bids but how many players? There are only about 5 of them with only 2 jacking the price up.

Well, our very own Jim Schrader is the winner. I hope it all turns out fine, Jim. I have a few Thunderbird Star Trek prints and I have to say the color fade is not as bad as I expected. There's still a decent amount of blues and yellows in the uniforms. I have a digest version of the episode Jim won (The Deadly Years), and it is definitely one the series' best segments.

Maybe Jim's a "Treky", or is it "Trekie" Jim, please let us know how it turns out. [Cool]
