Several costumes worn by Madalone throughout the run of The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Voyager were sold off on the It's A Wrap! sale and auction on eBay, including his stunt costumes from the episodes "Armageddon Game" [1] and "The 37's" [2] and his "stunt Zek" costume from "Prophet Motive".
