I don't know
if it's worth that.

:54:03
We put a price on it.
We hope it's worth that.

:54:05
I don't know. It's hard to put a price
on something like that, though, really.

:54:07
It's probably worth
a million dollars.

:54:09
Whatever you collect, you can
usually find it at conventions.

:54:12
At a typical convention, you'll find
a plethora of dealer tables

:54:16
selling a variety
of Star Trek merchandise.

:54:18
Over here we have some
gorgeous cardboard stand-ups.

:54:21
I really must pick up
one of these.

:54:23
A nice collection
of the various novels.

:54:26
And there is a set of the figures
right there I just traded.

:54:29
Star Trek ship diagrams
and blueprints,

:54:31
Star Trek- related
bookmarks,

:54:32
Star Trek- related jewelry,
:54:34
and Star Trek
uniform adornments,

:54:36
Star Trek software,
:54:37
plates, CDs, lithographs,
calendars, phasers,

:54:40
a good deal of the model kits.
:54:42
I always love buying
and building the model kits.

:54:45
I've just been putting
the finishing touches

:54:47
on Voyager here.
:54:49
Of course, the Nacelles fold,
:54:51
as you see on the series.
:54:54
One little problem here
is this is coming apart there.

:54:58
I don't think the Voyager is supposed
to have saucer sep capability.

:55:02
I became a dealer because
when I was younger,

:55:05
I read a few too many
Conan books,

:55:07
and I started to get interested
in swords and armor

:55:09
and learned how to make armor
:55:11
and got interested
in weaponries.

:55:13
And then we went to gun shows, and we
used to carry the armor on the table.

:55:18
Then in about 1991, they came out with
the 25th anniversary Star Trek cards,

:55:24
and I got all excited and went down
and bought a few too many boxes

:55:28
and broke them all for sets,
:55:30
and I got my sets, and then
I had all these sets left over.

:55:33
So we took them to the gun show,
and I put them next to the armor,

:55:37
and then all of them
disappeared.

:55:39
And then they started asking me
for one of these and one of those.

:55:42
And the armor started moving farther
and farther off the edge of the table,

:55:47
and now it's on the floor,
:55:49
and these and those have
taken over everything.

:55:52
I'm working now with a company
that is doing cookie jars.

:55:55
They're 30th anniversary
Star Trek cookie jars.

:55:58
I've collected 759 autographs
in about 5 years--
