‘Star Wars’ model and an Elvis outfit are among the cinematic treasures up for sale.
From a “Star Wars” X-Wing spaceship model to a “Thor” hammer, a treasure trove of cinematic memorabilia will be auctioned off in Hollywood next month.
The auction will feature over 1,800 artefacts and is expected to earn more than $9 million, according to film and television memorabilia business Propstore.
“There’s a lot of potential there. There are nearly 600 distinct film and television titles featured “According to Propstore Chief Operations Officer Brandon Alinger.
“We have collectable toys, comic books, comic artwork, film production documents, meaning things like concept artwork, storyboards, crew jackets, and a vast variety of memorabilia.” The “Red Leader” X-Wing model from “Star Wars: A New Hope” is the most expensive, with a price range of $500,000 to $1 million.
