Alien, UFO collectibles rocket to new heights\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n
During a violent thunderstorm on July2, 1947, “something” crashed on New Mexico rancher William “Mac” Brazel’s property near the Roswell Army Air Field.<\/p>\n
Since then, Roswell and the UFO story, complete with alien autopsies and government cover-ups, have become cultural icons and hot collectibles – thanks in part to the unexpected popularity of the WB’s Roswell.<\/p>\n
And who knew TV’s sexy aliens and their glow-in-the-dark hickeys would heat up the auction circuit as well as the small screen.<\/p>\n
Currently on eBay, autographed photos of the Roswell characters are gaining in price on genuine Roswell souvenirs. Pictures of Max, Maria, Michael, Isabel, and Liz, which sold for $25 when the series first began, are now bringing in $100 – $200 a pop. Even a clock picturing the cast goes for $50.00, as does a sweatshirt with the famous silver handprint stitched on the chest. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
