JMS posted this like to an interview about his caree and #BecomingSupermanJMS. Quite a good conversational style, I thought.

It's up to $7600.00.

Nevermind, it sold for $11,100. Good grief....

I had no idea B5 had such wealthy fandom! That's nuts! .

I remember the feeder auction.n It was so cute in an ugly Na'ka'leen sorta way. Do you remember how much it finally sold for?

Well, this is pretty cool. For me, more exciting than the medal!

Back when Joe had his first garage sale I wanted to get the Nakaleen feeder maquette which came with a similar meet and pick up. At the time I think it was around $1100.00 and while I had the money, my then wife (now ex) at the time was a bit shall we say conservative with how we spent it. I knew she wouldn't approve of such an extravagant purchase so I passed on even trying to get it. A few days after it was sold she saw me moping around the house and asked why. I told her. And she surprised me by saying that she would've had no problem with that kind of purchase especially since it came with a chance to have lunch with Joe as part of the deal. Stupid me. I missed out on the chance of a lifetime.

I just saw that. Glad it wasn't a -0- feedback bidder!

Very true, though I like the medal. Then again, if I paid 4,550 $ for anything a cup of bonus coffee is the least I would expect.

JMS has added a sweetener to the Line medal auction:

Added bonus: as a show of appreciation, if the winner is in (or can come to) LA, I will meet them for coffee and we can chat and I will hand over the medal personally. (Can send it first and do the meeting later if timing is an issue.) Ends soon.

One day, nineteen hours to go.

There is a few of those plot points around, but I never figured the Deathwalker immortality serum to be one. To me it felt like a very good plotpoint to show of the Vorlons raising the younger races.

Here's an interesting thread on the writing of B5 and potential set-ups.

It turned out to be the original Battle of the line medal. A great prop I must say, but alas, the price is bananas.

Not interesting to you hardly means that it's not very interesting to a whole lotta other people. I'd go for it if I could afford it, for sure.

Like you, I was just hoping it was something that pertained to the making of the show that we could all get a slice of. It's just hardly 'mind bending' when he's sold one before.

Am now convinced JMS is the master of hyperbole. Was hoping for something more interesting.
