The original art from the unused Steve Chorney poster for Star Trek VI is available on eBay.

It is $20,000.

If you just tripped over a stack of cash, this Keith Birdsong cover painting for Gene Roddenberry & Susan Sackett’s never-released Star Trek: The First 25 Years is going for $6,600 on eBay.

Or, you know, you could buy it for me. I’m a pretty nice guy.

The book is an interesting lost media item for the franchise; copyright for some of the art couldn’t be obtained so Pocket Books and Paramount decided to scrap the whole thing. Chunks of it would later appear in the (frankly inconsequential) coffee table book Star Trek: Where No One Has Gone Before, credited to J.M. Dillard with a “thank you” to Sackett.

Two paintings of James T. Kirk by comics great Steve Rude. They’re available on his site for $5000 and $2500, respectively.

Poster concepts for Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan by Bob Peak.

Some of Syd Mead’s concept paintings for V’Ger from Star Trek: The Motion Picture. His first pieces of movie concept art, they’re the direct result of director Robert Wise’s demand that the movie show an object that “no man had ever seen.”
