The sale of one garment may have been noted by those seeking pop and film memorabilia valuations.
Julien's Auctions has hosted a sale of Star Trek rarities that saw a parka jacket worn by actor Leonard Nimoy sell for $8,960 (£5,980).
The item was used in the 2009 film of the famous series and adorned Mr Spock, Paul Fraser Collectibles reports.
News of the purchase may capture the imagination of those looking to fetch a high pop and film memorabilia price.
