Geoff Mandel, graphic designer for Serenity, is having a Writers Strike sale on eBay and there are some tasty items indeed:
Autographed Mal Cortex screenshot print – “To Be Bound,” a limited edition fine art print. This ‘Verse-style “wanted poster,” with fingerprints, retinal scan and biographical details on Malcolm Reynolds, was created for the first Firefly/Serenity convention held in the United States, and the total edition was 500. No more will ever be printed. High-quality 4/color print on heavy satin stock, 18″ x 24″. Signed and numbered by the artist with silver Sharpie at lower-right. He’s been putting more up for auction as they sell, so just go here to find them.
Firefly/Serenity money – This auction is for CASHY MONEY used on screen in the series Firefly AND the movie Serenity. These are NOT the high-quality reproductions produced by QMx, but actual prop money created for both the series and movie. VERY rare, you don’t see Firefly money very often.
River Backlit Graphic – a backlit graphic used on screen in the movie Serenity, a one-of-a-kind collector’s item. This brain scan graphic with data on River Tam can be seen early in the film, where it is carried by Dr. Mathias. The auction is for the graphic ONLY, and does not include the lighted viewer.
There are also items from Space: Above and Beyond, NCIS, Mission Impossible 3, Star Trek Voyager, and even stuff from the Emmys!
The auctions have more details and larger pictures. Click here to see all of them. Bid quick, and bid often!
I have one of the “To Be Bound” prints and can say first-hand that it’s beautiful. (Don’t know if that’s really Nathan’s DNA strand or not. One of you smarty-pants cloners out there give it a try and let us all know.)
Plus it contains little nuggets of canon info not available elsewhere.
Now I just need to decide if I want two…
I want one of these “To Be Bound” prints and never seem to wander into one when they are available for sale!
Only 20 bucks for a SIGNED one and I missed it….again…sigh…
I bid on the River lab pad lighted graphic, but I’m sure to be outbid on that.
Oh well, I’ll have “owned” it for a little while 😀
Mike
I am the lucky new owner of the To Be Bound print – it looks amazing and it may end up as a raffle item/door prize at CSTS Tampa ’08, but I promise to take extra shiny care of it in the meantime…
Hey there Mike,
I was just talking to Geoff tonight and, if you still want that Mal poster, he’ll get you hooked up.
Just e-mail me: andy@quantummechanix.com and I’ll let Geoff know.
Stay Shiny!
I just picked up another Mal Poster in this auction and another one showed up shortly after that. I wonder how many of these will be sold on eBay? If you want one, I would snatch it up.

Hi Jim:
I snagged one of the “Bound” posters with a B-I-N and emailed Andy thanking him but letting him know I was able to get one from eBay.
Thanks for mentioning it.
I’m looking forward to framing it and putting it with my Alliance “artifacts”.
My collection, somewhat out of date, here:

WOW MIKE!!! Great collection. Now all you need is a “LARGE SCALE SERENITY REPLICA” from QMx.
Andy?????

Heh. Well, Jim, I could say something, but then I’d be one of those guys who talks about stuff before it’s final. And I *know* how much you guys *hate* people who do that.
😉
Many thanks indeed for the ‘heads up’ on the prints, sadly I missed the first one and even the next big release (mainly due to the time difference between you guys and here in the UK) but through a stroke of luck I managed to spot and grab one on Thursday, so I really appreciate the info.
Thanks also to QMx’s Andy who was enormously friendly and helpful too, you’re a true gentleman sir.
And the large Serenity? I’m going to *have* to get me one of those!
Thanks, Tim! But it’s easy to be a gentleman when dealing with such fine upstandin’ citizens as all Browncoats tend to be 😉
