Profiles in History has uploaded their free online PDF auction catalog for their "Hollywood Auction" #49 .
The auction is being held Monday and Tuesday, July 30th & 31st at 12 noon PDT in Calabases CA at Profiles showroom. Interested bidders can bid in person, online , or by telephone.
I am updating my article & when I am done will post more info and photos here for rpf members.
Alot of nice ref shots in there. TFP!
Some very nice items there and great for reference pics. The stunt predator head has been stumped though. I know they say stunt but they were all foam latex masks and the shape just seems off ( I know its an old old piece and not to be expected to be in great shape ) but still. Any thoughts on that one?
Can anyone lend me about $400,000.00? I just want to get a "few" items.
Now people can stop calling the Chewie/Leia boob grab a fake, whew!
MAN I want to see those blooper pics not shown...
So what items do you guys like or wish you had?
I want George Peppard's Hannibal Smith jacket from A-team
This one: Doc Brown's trench coat from BTTF III. Unfortunately original BTTF props like that one are too expensive for me.MoviePropCollector said:

The boob grab photo has been available for some time, there's even one on Ebay now. I would question the statement that many are unpublished. The whole point was that they were publicity photo'smoffeaton said:

That dropship still looks awesome
They misspelled "Judgment" in the T2 title
Good to finally find out what happened to Egons pack form GB1! Here it is below.

This stuff is worth taking out a loan for. I don't know though. On the show, Hollywood Treasure that documents Profiles in History, they don't seem to need a lot of confirmation on whether or not the items are real or not. No certificate. Just screen grabs. Don't get any ideas.
How did they spell it? Did they spell it with 2 e's?The Terminator said:

Im with Willie...the dropship is a total star!
I think they've really undervalued the T2 hand and Batman Cowl. Those two pieces will go for way more than their estimate.
The Firefly items:MoviePropCollector said:
The Jubal Early helmet and backpack and
the space suit.
Can't afford either....

Demand or T2 seams to be waning as of late. At least out here in KALI-FOWNIA.
Everyone hates Arnold.

Fret not, AUCTION number 147, you will get the opportunity to bid on everything at a fraction of what it is now. Over time, most of this stuff,...will decrease in Value. It always gets resold. We never really OWN anything. We just care for it for a short time.
The newer generations, will not recognize where its from, and give a rats butt about it. Don't believe me? Ever Flip Through Debbie Renold's auction?
Did you see ANYTHING you actually recognized? or wanted?
Sad but true.
Huh, nice collection of stuff. I had a hand in creating a few items in there!
A lot of really nice things in the auctions they are having. Dreier, Animation, and Hollywood.
Love reading the different takes on things in forums. One person loves something, another does not. Hopefully, the same people don't all like the same item.
Sometimes smart to take the comments about the condition of items and what is popular with a grain of salt though. Could be (not usually), a strategy to convince potential bidders (competition) to back off from bidding. That way the person posting can possibly get the item(s) cheaper,.
I remember the first time Rick Baker put up for auction some Gremlins puppets he had from Gremlins 2. Someone mentioned in a forum post that they saw the puppets a few weeks before the auction and commented they were in "horrible condition". They also implied that one would have to be crazy to bid.
Needless to say, the puppets were in very good condition and that same person "warning" everyone bid on the puppets with much less competition.
Depends on the staying power of the film.
The props from the true classics should hold up.
