OK. After watching the new Star Trek movie, I'm going to break from the "Lady and the Tramp" Series and post up the items in our collection dealing with Star Trek. I must admit, I often wonder if there is anything I DON'T collect.....
Most of the items here are from the Forrest J. Ackerman Estate. Ackerman, who coined the phrase "Sci-Fi," was an avid collector of all things Science Fiction. His "Ackermansion" was a Mecca for those interested in the field. Due to some health issues and the failure of an individual to pay Ackerman after a successful legal action, he was forced to sell some of this collection at auction -- which is how I come to own the items...
Here are some notes on the items below: (1) The Communicator is a classic and a fairly rare find -- the case actually flips open; (2) The models are great looking and are highly detailed on the top and bottom; (3) The "Tribble" is fantastic, but it isn't from the show -- Roddenberry had a number made for him which he gave out to friends and this is the one he gave to Ackerman; (4) 1968 script -- a great example of an early script for the show; (5) The "Writer's Guide" is absolutely wonderful -- several hundred pages describing the show's philosophy, recapping episodes and providing detailed descriptions of the technology of the ship and I've included several pages that are well worth reading!!!!
Example: Gene Roddenberry's 1989 Comment (see pages below)
