Yesterday, I attended an exhibition of a portion of Jason Joiner's
collection, it was awesome. There were hundreds of carded figures and mint/
sealed ships and playsets, original props and cast and crew items. I believe
this was the first time Jason has displayed this much of his collection to
the public so it was a great chance to see part of one of the largest
collections in the world. Below is a list of some of the more unusual items
