One of the most famous pieces of television memorabilia-Captain
Kirk's Star Trek command chair-hit the auction block
June 27, and an anonymous buyer boldly paid a whopping
$304,750 for it. Still this was not the most amazing
sale of the day. A letter sent to Star Trek creator Gene
Roddenberry by Leonard Nimoy, griping about the way Spock
was being written, went for $9,775 (it was anticipated
to pull only $400 to $600). "The bidding for the
chair was expected, say's Joseph Maddalena, president
and CEO of Profiles in History, the auction house that
held the sale. "Bidding for the letter really says
how Trek fans feel"
