AUCTION: MGM PRESS RELEASE
Three-Week Auction Begins September 22 on eBay
Auction Highlighted by Offer of Richard Dean Anderson's `Vancouver
Vehicle' 1995 Lincoln Towncar, Cartier Edition
Los Angeles, September 22, 2003 -- MGM Worldwide Television in
association with Legends Memorabilia Inc. announces the kickoff
of its
first-ever online studio auction of more than 100 items used in the
actual production of the hit series' first six seasons. At 12:01
am
(PST) today, the virtual "opening bell" rang at eBay for the
unprecedented auction of costumes, props, set decoration pieces, studio
concept art and more from the action-adventures Sci-Fi series starring
Richard Dean Anderson, Amanda Tapping, Michael Shanks and Christopher
Judge as the SG-1 team, whose ongoing mission to thwart intergalactic
dangers to the Earth takes them through an ancient portal, the
Stargate, which transports them to distant worlds.
Throughout the following three weeks, items will be added to the
auction each day, with the bidding remaining open on each item for only
ten days. With new items added throughout the auction, viewers
will
want to check in frequently. The online auction will end Sunday
night,
October 12, at midnight (PST).
Expected to draw some of the greatest attention is the 1995 Lincoln
Towncar, Cartier Edition, that has shuttled series star Richard Dean
Anderson between his Vancouver home and the STARGATE SG-1 set during
the past six seasons. The car is silver, fully loaded and in
immaculate condition. This item will be sold with no reserve,
meaning
the highest bidder will win, regardless of the winning amount.
The 125+ items offered include numerous costumes and props, all
of
which have actually been used in the production of the show, and many
of which were worn or handled by the series stars. Included are
the
series' legendary "Crystal Skull," a Zat Gun, Teal'c's Staff Weapon,
and the armband/super powers device worn by Daniel Jackson (actor
Michael Shanks) in the episode "Upgrades." All of the items can
be
viewed, and bid upon, at

Each item will be accompanied by an MGM Certificate of Authenticity
verifying its use/appearance on the show.
