Collectors mark your calendars for January 16. Â
That’s the weekend NBC/Universal will hold an auction, selling off props, costumes and set pieces from SciFi’s hit series, “Battlestar Galactica.” The auction is set to take place at the same time the popular sci-fi drama returns to our screens and begins its final run of episodes.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, items up for auction will include the desk used by Admiral Adama (Edward James Olmos), and six to 12 costumes from each major character, including a red dress worn by Caprica-Six (Tricia Helfer).Â
The auction will include a preview day and then two days of bidding on site. In addition, there will be an on-line auction.  There will also be items sold weekly on-line as the series counts down to its final episode.
The auction is one of the most elaborate events ever planned around the conclusion of a TV series, with fans flying in from around the world to stay in area hotels to bid on “BSG” items.
A portion of the auction’s proceeds will benefit the United Way.Â
Sounds like it’s time to start saving our pennies…
