Star Trek: Discovery may have left the 23rd century in 2019, but the show’s commitment to staying in their new far-future era has been cemented today, as ViacomCBS and Prop Store have announced the first official Discovery prop and costume auction — where hundreds of items from the show’s first two seasons will be available for public acquisition.
Set to include “over 200 original costumes, props, set decoration, and behind-the-scenes memorabilia” from the first two years of Star Trek: Discovery — as well as the seven Discovery-connected Short Treks — the action will run from September 2 through September 16 through the online auction house Prop Store, a company that’s often sold entertainment memorabilia, including Star Trek items, over the years.
While the full catalog of included items isn’t yet available, the initial list of Star Trek: Discovery props and costumes in the sale (with estimated values) includes:
· Tevrin Krit’s (Harry Judge) Captain’s Chair from Short Treks, Est. $8,000 – $10,000

The inclusion of the USS Enterprise uniforms from Discovery Season 2 in this sale seem to confirm the notion that Captain Pike and crew will have another new set of Starfleet attire to wear in their upcoming spinoff series, Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, which is set to debut in 2022.
In addition to the Discovery and related Short Trek items, ViacomCBS is also auctioning off two items from the personal estate of Leonard Nimoy — a framed set of Spock ears from his cameo in Star Trek Into Darkness (the actor’s final appearance in Trek) as well as a Star Trek 25th Anniversary pinball machine — to benefit the UCLA COPD Research Program.
100% of the Hammer Price proceeds from the sales [of the Nimoy items] will be donated in memory of Leonard Nimoy to support the UCLA Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases (COPD) Research Program under Dr. John Belperio. COPD is a chronic inflammatory lung disease that causes obstructed airflow from the lungs.
Dr. Belperio’s research focuses on early COPD diagnosis and the preservation of lung function of COPD patients. The Nimoy family has been funding Dr. Belperio’s COPD research since Leonard Nimoy’s death in 2015.
