$15.50 - I was the one who got it up from $8.something and wasn't online when the damned auction ended due to local T-Storms...

Oh, well....

That's incredible. I was online and was there with twenty minutes to go. I saw it was only $15 and thought I might hang around and grab it, but I already have a set. And I saw it was you in the lead. So I walked away from it. Now I wish I had hung around...

Thanks, I appreciate that, Aridas. If you ever see something you want and I'm bidding on it, please don't hesitate to go for it. It's all about who's willing to spend what and I tend to be a cheap bastiche more often than not. I was mostly curious about that set, so didn't put in a high bid. My bad, but that guy who won wanted it more than I, so no big deal for me.

The Star Trek Maps are the finest Trek publication ever done, in my opinion. Absolutely gorgeous -- they look like they were done by National Geographic. I give them precedence over any of the revisionist versions done since.

They were an official, licensed publication, released by Bantam soon after ST:TMP. Included a great little booklet on celestial navigation. Very well thought out. Big sheets -- maybe 2 X 3 feet. I only wish they'd printed them on four separate sheets instead of front and back on two. They deserved to be framed.

I swear -- you can sit and look at these things for HOURS and remain fascinated. Geoff Mandel, Lee Cole, and Jeff Maynard contributed, along with others. Quite a project.

If you can get a set, do so.

Well - it's the dedication that counts around here!

[Smile]

A part of the map would be nice even - to give us an idea as to what it looks like.

There are several artists around here whom are able and I presume willing to take the raw scans and edit them into their full glory.
I know Bernd did a good job of processing FJ's blueprints into something web-worthy.

Where can you see them, Rev?

Oh and BTW - are your 'logos' you did still on line on a site all together somewhere?

First, thanks for the suggestions, and I missed the ebay auction do to work constraints (damm!).

But, I did get a small look at them here:

They look very interesting, and I think I will bid on them in the future.

Rev: Online FJ Blueprints? Where? Sounds cool.

Hmm, one of the maps have schematics of various starships, probes and spacestations!

Man, how I would like to see a closeup of that...

Amen, Last Guardian. They are truly a work of art.
