For the Geek Who Has Everything...

Posted at 10:25 p.m. - Wednesday, November 26

You've stuffed yourself with turkey, recovered from the post-sweet potato pie coma, and now it's time to get down to business...buying Christmas gifts.

Now if you're looking for something unique for the geek in your life, and have a few extra grand in the petty cash drawer, here are some gifts that will make them the envy of all the geeks in the neighborhood:

[Copy of You Only Live Twice signed by Ian Fleming to 'James Bond' ($60,000-$80,000)]

Thief front cover

This copy of You Only Live Twice was signed by 007 creator Ian Fleming for the man from who he 'stole' the name for his world-famous secret agent, the famed orinthologist James Bond.

Thief inscription

[Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi original "C-3PO" droid helmet worn by Anthony Daniels ($60,000-$80,000)]

C-3PO Helmet

Oh yeah, this baby on the mantle will make that Star Wars fanatic in your life ready to learn and become fluent in over 2 million forms of communication.  I wonder if it still has the smell of Tony Daniels sweat in it?

Lightsaber

[Mark Hamill's hero "Luke Skywalker" lightsaber from Star Wars and Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back ($150,000-$180,000)]

Didn't Luke lose this one in the tibana gas mines of Cloud City?  How much did the custodian who dug this baby out of the vents get?  What kind of batteries does it need? 2 double-A?  Hmmmmmm...

Wolverine Costume

[Signature "Wolverine" black leather battlesuit from X-Men ($60,000-$80,000)]

Hey baby, lookit me!  I'm dressed like WOLVERINE!  Oh yeah, Hugh Jackman wore this sucker!  Some of his man scent has gotta be rubbing off on me right now!  Uh...no, I'm pretty sure he didn't wear this outfit in the suck-fest that was X-Men 3: The Last Stand.

Indiana Jones Hat

[Harrison Ford's signature "Indiana Jones" fedora hat and whip from Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom ($40,000-$60,000 each]

For the geek who enjoys exploring temples deep in the Peruvian jungles, outrunning boulders and getting dragged under trucks!  The question behind having this item is does it belong on your head, or in a museum?

Batman-Bale Cowl

[Christian Bale's signature "Batman" cowl from Batman Begins ($15,000-$20,000)]

This would have to be the ultimate geeky-gift!  Christian Bale wore this sucker in Batman Begins and it is sure to be a most coveted item in Geek-dom.  C'mon, IT'S BALE!  IT'S BATMAN!

These items, and a plethora of others, will be going up for auction (www.ebayliveauctions.com) on December 11th.  You can visit the Profiles in History web site to download a complete catalog of items available for auction, @ www.profilesinhistory.com.
