It's Lot #742, it's called "The Cylon War," it's from Admiral Adama's quarters on the Galactica, and bidding is currently up to $3,250.
When the dust settles this weekend in Pasadena, we fully expect it to fetch a few K more than the $10 - $12,000 price estimated in the catalog. Anything below $16K is a pittance, we say -- even in this economy.
No, seriously. If we could go back in time and give up something we like to have just to have 20 grand in our hot little hands to buy this, we would. The Sunday New York Post, pizza, soap -- whatever it took. Ah well. Maybe in the next life.
Guess we will console ourselves with the catalog to the auction, which is a handsome collectible of its own -- look ma, no corners -- and probably with a printout of this very post. We could just print this out on the office Canon and get something that would look nice (Sniffle.) over our mantle too, right? (Sniffle.)
