The auctioneers could’ve at least watched the episode. That alone would have improved their appraisal.
- Even family guy mentioned that episode
  
  Well, MacFarlane is an unabashed Trekkie.
- Just searching the episode title would have gone a long way, it's all over lists of top episodes.
$40,000 does seem to be a little low for the only existing cultural item from a civilization that has been completely destroyed.

- I mean, they included a book or something alright.
- I say it should have not gone to picard but in an alternate timeline it went to a borg drone. Immediately assimilated into the entire collective.
  
  It's a great episode in terms of characterization and poignancy, but the plot device itself makes no sense. The probe is meant to be used one time and then shut down forever in order to preserve their civilization? At the very least allow it to be used more than once.
  
  Well it took some time, but technically
Oh great, how many people are gonna go watch that and come back here and start making memes....

I look forward to it
- Good, good.

Which valuation is reasonable depends entirely on whether or not it's been cleaned.
- Definitely wants that authentic Picard spittle residue.
  
  He plays it in other episodes, too. I assume it's the same one, no reason for the prop department to make two.
