   FANS INVITED TO JOIN THE STARGATE ARTIFACTS AUCTION OF PROPS AND COSTUMES FROM STARGATE SG-1 AND STARGATE ATLANTIS

   Los Angeles, CA, January 25, 2010 – MGM Television is proud to team with Propworx to launch Stargate Artifacts. Fans and collectors now have the chance to win and own iconic screen-used props, costumes and set decoration from the worldwide megahit series, Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis.

   These two legendary series are part of one of the longest-running science fiction franchise in American television history. The latest installment – Stargate Universe – begins filming its second season in March, with new episodes premiering this spring.

   The year-long endeavor launched this past weekend on eBay with the first auction of iconic props, hand-sewn costumes and richly crafted set pieces–-all used by past characters. The eBay auctions will continue weekly, building to two spectacular Stargate Artifacts live auction events in August and November. Thousands of screen-used and production-made pieces of sci-fi TV history can be won and brought into fans’ and collectors’ homes, including Teal’c’s working Jaffa serpent head, Jack O’Neil’s signature sunglasses, and a full-size light-up Stargate.
