Top picks from the Prop Store and The Comisar Collection TV Treasures Live Auction...

On December 1, 2018, a cool collection of rare and iconic TV Treasures will go under the hammer in a live auction from Prop Store and curated by renowned collector James Comisar. The auction features 400 costumes, props, set decorations and other television memorabilia from shows from the 1960s to 2010s, including Star Trek, Batman, Planet of the Apes, The X-Files, Battlestar Galactica, True Blood, Mork & Mindy, Charmed, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and many more besides. As always I've perused the fantastic auction catalogue to see what resonates most with me and my love of science fiction and comic books.

Visitors costume worn by Andrew Prine

as Steven in V: The Final Battle

One TV mini-series that really captured my imagination as a child in the 1980s was V in 1983, with aliens arriving in their spaceships supposedly in peace, the human Resistance and collaborators evoking WWII, the lizard makeup beneath their human disguises and 'Diana' eating a hamster, it blew my young mind.

Now you can own one of the iconic Visitors costumes designed by Brienne Glyttov and worn by Andrew Prine's 'Steven', who sported this uniform as Security Chief on Diana's L.A. spaceship in 1984's follow-up three-part mini-series, V: The Final Battle.

Bidding for this sci-fi burnt orange costume with its gold and black insignia and trim is expected to range from $1,000-$1,500.

Riddler jacket and vest worn by Frank Gorshin in Batman

Next up is from another TV childhood favourite of mine, the campy 1960s Batman series which starred Adam West and Burt Ward as DC's Dynamic Duo and featured the Caped Crusader's iconic comic book villains like the 'Riddler', played by Frank Gorshin.

This green, wonderfully lined question mark jacket and vest were custom made by Ernie Tarzia and featured in several episodes in the crime-fighting series which ran from 1966 to 1968.

Kapow! Blam! This cool ensemble is expected to sell for around $100,000-$150,000 and I envy the collector who snaps this outfit up.

Fans of the supervillain created by Bill Finger and Dick Sprang can also check out Jim Carrey's Riddler movie costume from 1995's Batman Forever on display.

Grecian tunic worn by William Shatner

as Captain Kirk in Star Trek

Next up are two Grecian outfits from the original Star Trek series designed by William Ware Theiss which featured in the iconic 1968 Plato's Stepchildren episode.

The first red and gold costume was worn by William Shatner as 'Captain Kirk' and was the outfit he wore when he famously kissed Nichelle Nichols African-American 'Lieutenant Uhura', the first groundbreaking interracial kiss on broadcast television which marks its 50th anniversary this November 22.

This screen-worn costume from the classic sci-fi series is expected to sell for $40,000-$60,000.

Grecian tunic worn by Leonard Nimoy

as Mr. Spock in Star Trek

Also up for auction is Leonard Nimoy's green and gold costume worn as the Vulcan, 'Spock', also from this iconic episode where the USS Enterprise responds to a distress call from an alien civilization that dress in the same way as the Ancient Greeks.

This authentic tunic from the Series Costume Designer is expected to fetch $20,000-$30,000.

Buck Rogers in the 25th Century gold jacket worn by Gil Gerard

And finally, even though there are so many things I'd love to bid on finances permitting, is this futuristic gold jacket worn by the handsome Gil Gerard as 'Buck Rogers', the 20th century astronaut who awakens after being tapped in suspended animation in Earth's far flung future.

When I was a kid I thought Buck was so cool, he got to hang out with the lycra-clad 'Colonel Wilma Deering' and had a robotic sidekick in the form of 'Twiki'.

Gil Gerard wore this jacket (along with similar gold trousers) in various promo materials for the late 1970s/early 1980s sci-fi series and it potentially could be yours for $3,000-$5,000.

Fans of the show can also check out these original costumes and props from Buck Rogers in the 25th Century on display.

Be sure to visit Prop Store's website for all the TV Treasures up for auction this December and details of how to bid (just in time for the gift-giving season, even if it's a gift for yourself).

Costume, mask and prop from Buck Rogers TV series...

On my most recent visit to Universal Studios Hollywood on November 30, 2011 I spied this cool collection of sci-fi costumes, masks and props from Buck Rogers in the 25th Century.

Costume worn by Jack Palance as Kaleel

in Buck Rogers in the 25th Century

Included in the exhibit from the late 70's/early 80's TV show was this white satin robe outfit with purple trim, worn by Jack Palance as the evil mutant 'Kaleel' in the two part episode 'Planet of the Slave Girls'.

Robot mask and Draconian blaster stunt prop

from Buck Rogers on display

Also on display was the prototype or alternate mask for the 'Tina' female robot that 'Twiki' falls for in the 'Cruise Ship to the Stars' episode, plus a stunt Draconian blaster used in multiple episodes of the series.

If you like these bits of TV memorabilia, be sure to check out more original costumes, props and Twiki masks from Buck Rogers on display.

TV props, costumes and masks from Buck Rogers in the 25th Century...

Based on a character created in 1928 by Philip Francis Nowlan, Glen A. Larson's Buck Rogers in the 25th Century TV series starred Gil Gerard in the titular sci-fi role.

Original costume, helmet and prop from

Buck Rogers in the 25th Century TV show

A feature-length pilot about the NASA pilot accidentally frozen for over 500 years and waking up in the far future, was released theatrically in March 1979 (capitalising on the success of Star Wars two years earlier), and spawned a television show which lasted for two seasons from 1979 to 1981.

These authentic items used in the production of the television series were photographed on display at Universal Studios Hollywood on January 7, 2011.

Twiki robot helmet and face worn in Buck Rogers

'Twiki' was 'Buck Rogers' robotic sidekick and often wore the computer intelligence 'Dr. Theopolis' around his neck.

Felix Silla was the actor behind the mask in the robot suit, but Mel Blanc provided his voice for the majority of the series, aside from in the second season when he was voiced briefly in a few episodes by Bob Elyea.

Twiki's catchphrase was 'bidi-bidi-bidi'.

Futuristic rifle prop used in Buck Rogers and the 25th Century

Apparently some of the laser guns and rifles used in Buck Rogers were originally used by villains in the original Battlestar Galactica along with other props, spaceships and outfits from Glen Larson's other sci-fi show.

Al Lehman was mainly responsible for Costume Design for the series, along with Jean-Pierre Dorleac and Sal Anthony on other episodes.
