Christie’s has two interesting auctions coming up.  The first is an original Apple-I computer, in original packaging, and is expected to sell for between $160,600 and $240,900.

The second is The Library of Edward Tufte which includes several rare books from the likes of Galileo, Picasso, Ernst, Newton, Descartes, and Euclid.

Update: The Apple computer sold for $210,000.

An original Darth Vader costume, most likely made for “The Empire Strikes Back”, is up for auction in London next month.

The jet-black helmet, mask and armor worn by the intergalactic villain are expected to sell for between 160,000 pounds and 230,000 pounds ($250,000 and $365,000) at a sale of pop culture memorabilia next month.

This would make a great Xmas gift for me.  Just saying.
