 Coming up for bidding soon at Profiles in History auction house will be a plethora of Star Trek props, set pieces, and scripts, including the Enterprise-E captain's chair, Geordi's VISOR, and a shooting script from Star Trek: The Motion Picture. Anticipated going prices for various items range up to $60,000, though if our experience with the Christies auction has told us anything, that might turn out to be a bit on the low side. Items from all five live action Star Trek series, The Motion Picture, The Wrath of Khan, The Undiscovered Country, Generations, and First Contact will be up for bidding on December 13-14, as well as memorobilia from hundreds of other Hollywood productions.
Profiles in History has offered many unique Star Trek items up for bidding in the past, including an Original Series tricorder (went for $45,000 in 2001), the Captain's Chair and platform from the TOS Enterprise bridge ($265,000 in 2002), and the Gorn mask from 'Arena' (sold for $27,500 in 2006).
A total of 1252 lots will be up for bidding in the Hollywood Auction #30, though you must register with Profiles in History before you can bid. Following is a list of Star Trek items available in this auction.
 Lot #265: Star Trek: The Motion Picture script
133 page shooting script written by Gene Roddenberry and Harold Livingston with revision inserts and dated July 19, 1979 with original studio covers.
Estimate: $200 – $300
Lot #268: Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan script
117 page revised final draft written by Harve Bennett with revision inserts and dated January 18, 1982 with original studio covers.
Estimate: $200 – $300
Lot #1212: Uhura (Nichelle Nichols) duty uniform from Star Trek: The Original Series
Signature red velour duty uniform dress with black scoop neck collar and an original “engineering” Starfleet insignia patch at the left breast. Because of the way the uniform is tailored (with the zipper closure over the left breast), this duty uniform dates from early in the first season, as Ms. Nichols’ uniforms were re-designed shortly thereafter as it was difficult for her to get in and out of the dress. Comes with a letter of authenticity from Nichelle Nichols, as well as a color photograph signed by Ms. Nichols in her Starfleet uniform. One of the rarest of the Enterprise crew uniforms, this is the first Lt. Uhura duty uniform from the original series we’ve ever encountered, and is one of only two known to have survived.
Estimate: $8,000 – $12,000
Lot #1213: Space Dock construction drone miniatrue with attached blue-screen rod from Star Trek: The Motion Picture
One of the highlights of Star Trek: The Motion Picture is the dramatic unveiling of the new U.S.S. Enterprise in the Spacedock. Whizzing around the majestic white galleon are yellow and white construction drones, of which this is a particularly fine example.
Estimate: $300 – $500
Lot #1214: 'Hero' illuminating Klingon tricorder from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Working Klingon tricorder made of resin that is painted brown & black, with color detailing. There is a button trigger at the top that releases a small compartment at the front and illuminates the various LED lights.

This large UFP insignia emblem is embedded within a smoke-tinted Lexan panel, designed to be
backlit. Made for the series (and possibly the films), its screen-use is unknown but most likely appeared as a background set piece. Measures 4 ft. x 26 ½ in.
Estimate: $200 – $300
 Lot #1216: Mutant Worf (Michael Dorn) uniform from 'Genesis,' Star Trek: The Next Generation
Starfleet costume worn by Michael Dorn as “Worf” in the TV series Star Trek: Next Generation. The trademark uniform is mustard yellow and black with yellow trim around the neck. It has a piece of Velcro on the front where the communicator badge would have been fixed and fastens up with a hidden zip at the back. The trousers have built in braces. “Worf” wears this ripped uniform in the season seven episode ‘Genesis’ where the entire crew of the Enterprise is affected by a synthetic T-Cell which has made the crew members 'devolve.' The uniform has bone-like additions to the arms and side and a small protrusion on the thigh where “Worf” has changed into his animal self, the back of the uniform has a large rip in it where a large spine extension has ‘burst’ through. The costume comes with the original costumer’s label from the production, which details the character and the actors name, the scenes and the episode name.
Estimate: $4,500 – $5,500
Lot #1217: Riker's backlit control panel from Star Trek: The Next Generation
Smoke-tinted backlit panel measuring 13 in. wide x 12 ½ in. in height.
