| George Seigel had lots of nice popular culture memorabilia including some
Star Trek
stuff. Let's take a look at the most expensive
Star Trek
item in the next photo at right.

| George with a photograph signed by all seven members of the cast from the original 1960s
Star Trek
TV series. They are wearing their uniforms from the movie The Wrath Of Khan,1982 which was the second of six movies featuring the original TV cast. George told me this signed photo was originally offered for sale for under $200 on the QVC TV shopping channel about 40 years ago. Does $2500 seem high today? William Shatner's autograph today (in 2022) is less than $100 and the other six cast members' autographs were always less than his except maybe Leonard Nimoy. So it looks at first glance that you're paying more than $1800 for the frame. But $2500 may not be to high considering that all seven cast members were rarely if ever at the same place to sign anything and it would have been expensive to chase them down one at a time. And of course today four of these cast members are dead and not available to sign photos.

| I've seen author and film expert Robert Lentz at this show for several years. He is the author of a number of film books including books on Lee Marvin and Gloria Grahame. He tells me now he is trying to do a book comparing the novels of the famous American Western author Zane Grey to their many film adaptations. Here's Robert showing off Zane Grey's best selling Western novel first published in 1912:
Riders Of The Purple Sage. This novel has been made into four theater movies - 1918, 1925, 1931, 1941. I did some checking and the only Western novel I could find made into four theater movies was Owen Wister's
The Virginian - 1914, 1923, 1926, 1946. For both novels I'm not counting any made for TV movies or TV episodes.
