If you’re a collector of Star Trek memorabilia, sure you might want a phaser, or a tricorder, or lock of Riker’s chest hair, but wouldn’t it be nice to own Captain Picard’s sadness flute? Well, now you can because the original prop is up for auction — although it is expected to go for between $50,000 and $70,000. This is obviously a lot of money, especially for fans of a series about a socialist utopia in which Earth has abolished all forms of currency. Also, it should be noted that the flute is just a prop, it doesn’t actually “produce musical notes.” Still, its primary use, mourning the loss of a fictional character’s fake loved ones, remains fully functional.
