We continue to spotlight donations from dealers, members, and staff

Some things we have in the Charity Auction, you just can't buy. They have to be awarded to you. You have to be in the right place, the right time, doing the right thing. 

Well, here's an opportunity you probably won't see again.

You can bid on a Hugo Award. Yup, a beautiful, delicious Hugo Award.

Delicious?

Back in June one of the first donations we spotlighted with a generously overflowing box of Star Trek paraphernalia from John and Bjo Trimble.  We took our time going through this, and eventually decided it needed to be divided into three different offerings, that we're calling Trimble Boxes.

Classic Trek fans will adore this collection of fan basics. Not only does it contain a Vulcan salute hat, but a mint-in-box tribble and a set of Spock ears! (Of course they could probably double as elf-ears if you're so inclined.  Add to that a set of buttons, and three Mega Blox bags. We do expect this to generate have quite a bit of interest!

 We've spotlighted donations from dealers, vendors, members, and staff. This is the first to come from an organization!

The Bay Area Ghost Hunters provided a nice set of ghost related items for our charity auction.  Everything from socks to a really cool metal model of the Ecto-1 from Ghostbusters. Also included: a plushy ghost, Season Four of Being Human (she's the ghost), and a Big Finish production of Doctor Who: The Haunting of Malkin Place starring Lalla Ward and that guy with the scarf and the hat.

And if that weren't enough, just in case you're inspired to go out hunting ghost on your own, the package also includes a guide to Haunts of San Jose, dowsing rod set and pendulum bob for seeking out sensitive vibrations!

I saw this at a recent BASFA auction and couldn't believe it was going for so low, so I went ahead and snapped it up for the Worldcon Charity Auction.

A bit of history on a couple of fronts. These six cardboard boxes held McDonald's first promotional Happy Meals, based on the release of Star Trek the Motion Picture. Every inch of the boxes are covered with related images, puzzles, trivia, movie lines, etc.  They've been unfolded, stored flat and are in great shape.  Reportedly there were five different designs, so one of these is a duplicate, I think it's McCoy, but I might be wrong.

We're not quite sure what Phil and Kaja Foglio will be donating, but given nothing they produce is less than wildly fun and creative we're pretty excited none the less.

Don't already know about Girl Genius, the Hugo winning web series, the graphic novels, the books, the patches, badges and other paraphernalia? Well you're in for a treat. Already indoctrinated? You know this is going to be good.
