REPLICA 6th Doctor items on eBay -
September 2015

All I can say is be careful of paying massively over-inflated prices for things that might appear to be better than they are.
Always ready the description closely too.

Doctor Who - Colin Baker (The Sixth Doctor Who) Suzie Trevor Cat Badge
Provenance:
BBC Costume Designer Pat Godfrey purchased four cat badges from a specialist badge shop in Central London for Colin Baker’s costume in 1984. The badges were hand made by Suzie Trevor in clay. This badge was one of four created for me by Suzie from her original moulds and has been displayed on my screen used Colin Baker Costume in a number of exhibitions.
PLEASE NOTE YOU ARE BIDDING FOR THE BADGE AND NOT THE ORIGINAL COSTUME!!!!!


Just a reminder that you can still buy an EQUALLY ORIGINAL cat brooch, hand made by Susan Trevor from the original mould, for £35 inclusive of global shipping.

Making My 6th Doctor Costume - purrrrrrfection!

Doctor Who Experience Colin Baker Replica Cat Badge
(The Sixth Doctor Who)
Provenance:
This cat badge is the same as the badge used in the Official BBC Television Exhibition ‘The Doctor Who Experience, Earls Court, London. The costume displayed in the exhibition was not screen used but a replica made by a couple trading under the name ‘Cloth Ears’. A badge of this design was used on the display.
PLEASE NOTE YOU ARE BIDDING FOR THE BADGE AND NOT THE ORIGINAL COSTUME!!!!!

I was browsing around on eBay and found a cheap as chips listing for a white plastic cat brooch which I thought was worth a look.

Prop Store London auction -
23rd September 2015

So, after a number of lack-lustre auctions, it finally looks like Bonhams has a genuine challenger to their Entertainment Memorabilia sales.

PropStore.com have been selling high-end props and costumes for sometime now, including the occasional Doctor Who piece.

But this month they are holding a live auction at the BFI IMAX cinema in Waterloo - for all intents and purposes a Bonhams style auction.

there‘s some amazing stuff on offer, from Mr Spock’s costume from classic Star Trek, to costumes from Back To The Future, the Alien and Star Wars films.

And unlike the last couple of years of Bonhams auctions, there are is a good spread of quality items on offer to attract the interest of the dedicated Doctor Who fans out there.


As usual I have separated the items by Doctor era, and you can see the rest of the items here:

Here are just the lots relating to
the Sixth Doctor

Lot 92
Terror of the Vervoids Communicator Device
A handheld communicator device from the BBC sci-fi television series Doctor Who. This communicator was used in the 1986 serial Terror of the Vervoids by The Doctor (Colin Baker) and the crew of the Hyperion III after the ship was invaded by the plantlike Vervoids.

The prop communicator is made of aluminium with bevelled edges and original rubber buttons.
