Greg Jein collection auction: 300+ TOS scripts

[Maab]

So, I went through all the massive auction from the Greg Jein vast sci-fi collection.
A lot of really interesting stuff from TOS. Probably the most valuable items are the Galileo shuttle studio model and the Botany Bay studio model (starting bid for both is 60K).
But what I'd really like is this: "Extensive Collection of (300+) Scripts from Star Trek: The Original Series",
including a "banker's box containing unproduced scripts".

Starting bid: 10K.
Too much for me.

Apparently a long window version of the Type-7 shuttle was built.

There's also some nice negative test shots of TNG models (the Star Trek Chronology version of Cochrane's ship). I think the Constellation class test shots shows that there were maybe two models of the ship built.

Also some shots from The Cage. Don't recall these ladies. Or this shot.

Original Maquis Raider from Preemptive Strike.

The photos from The Cage are probably unused publicity shots.

The serving girls were cut from the final print (see images below). The shot with Vina is a publicity still (most likely never used).

That doesn’t surprise me. Jein usually made at least two models from each of his molds. He did this with the warbird, the Ambassador class and the Vulcan T’Pau ship, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he did it with the Nebula Class (i.e. the Phoenix and the Sutherland might have been two different models.)

I was hoping he would have had test shots of the two wrecked models he built for BoBW, the Firebrand and the Princeton. Oh well.

Me too, unfortunately. But what a collection that is! Must be very nearly every version of every script ever produced for TOS, and more. If it stayed at 10K, you could almost call it an approproate price considering what you pay for ONE original TOS script on eBay.

It is just an astonishing collection. Nothing can really rival it when it comes to TOS. Even the Justman auction was not like this.

As has been said, all this really should be in a museum/archive...

Yeah, Jein seemed to be the only one in the production who hoarded tons of stuff. His family is going to be laughing their way to the bank.

I fear some oil sheik will get tired of a find and give it to his pet Tiger to gnaw on…or shoot with his AK.

Jein's collection includes one of Shatner's TOS toupees.

Is anyone going to bid on this auction?

 

[fireproof78]

Are you giving us some ,money to play with?

'Cause, that' some expensive stuff.

I wish I could...

The "Extensive Collection of (300+) Scripts from Star Trek: The Original Series" is now at 11K dollars.
Minimum bid 11,500 and 2 days left.

That’s the funniest thing in that auction, why would he have even wanted that? It makes me half wonder if his relatives also had to throw away jars of old toenails to get to the amazing amount of Trek stuff he hoarded.

Surely you jest. Shatner's hairpieces are part and parcel of the man's legend.

Interest in the subject may be waning, though. The linked site hasn't been updated in the last two years.

Just breezing through the script photos, did anyone know the episode "The Naked Time" was originally written as a two parter? This is new to me.

My understanding is that it was less of a classic two-parter, where the plot is stretched over two episodes, but used the timewarp at the end of "The Naked Time" in order to end up back in time for "Tomorrow Is Yesterday".
