While innocently watching some late night "Pawn Stars," I became instantly fully awake when I learned that an original "Star Trek" phaser (used on the show in 1966) could be worth as much as $40,000, and I think I have one. OMG!
The search began immediately. Had this been a year ago, I would have known right where it was. But after moving, a whole lot of stuff is still boxed up. I had an idea where my collectibles were stashed, so I went into the attic closet and started searching — thank God I put in some track lighting. I must have gone through every box and Jiffy bag at least twice, because it had to be here, right next to a mini sculpture of Yoda and the candles from my last big birthday. I found so much stuff I had collected, it brought back many fond memories,
