    Screen-Used ANH Medal of Yavin - Propstore March 2025

    It sold right after the auction, on the day or the next day.

    Aliens (1986) Production Alien Queen components

    The listing at Propstore doesn't state the pieces are screen used. It states "this lot consists of 20 polyfoam components for a xenomorph Queen suit, a black glove, and two swatches of black fabric". The "a xenomorph Queen" is not the same at "The" one. I would assume these are production...

    $1300 credit…WHAT should I get?!

    I wouldn't do the Blade III piece, as it looks to be missing several of the round caps and anyone wanting to buy such a piece would want a more complete one. The Roadblock piece is cool, while GI Joe is not that popular prop collecting wise imho (apart from some helmets) it is Dwayne Johnson.

    Bladerunner 2049 Propstore Auction

    Never pre-bid. It will only get you to have your competitors to up their max.

    Production made Nostromo patches - Are they legitimate?

    A production binder with all kinds of patches from different productions, also with those Alien patches, was sold like 2-3 years ago at auction. They had several versions in it. Unfortunately I didn't save photos of that binder and haven't been able to track down the photos either.

    Comparing versions of the Sanskrit Cloth from Temple of Doom

    I would say the last three are the same piece and that it was made to replicate the one in the Archive. If it had looked more like any on screen there could be a doubt, but a forger/replicator would use the best source at hand and that is the Archive photo. So the fact it looks similar like the...

    Looking for PDF catalogs of profiles in history

    Profiles with multi-angle shots? If I remember it correctly they normally had only 1 or 2 photos. Best bet is to check ha.com, as after the merger they uploaded (many of) the past listing there. Else liveauctioneers, icollector or one of the other platforms may still have the original auctions...

    $1300 credit…WHAT should I get?!

    I would still ask them if I were you. The worst they can say is no. I would explain the whole situation again and ask for some understanding. Don't ask for 100%, but a smaller % with you stating that you understand they have cost, profitmargins and that in any other case you would have seen the...

    $1300 credit…WHAT should I get?!

    It is difficult to point at anything on their website that will sell well on ebay. A lot of people don't trust pieces on ebay. The letter is a genuine piece, but at 800 it is top of the market (auction level after fees). At about 500 USD it would be a good purchase. They do lower the price of...

    Those Tenet helmets will imho not hold their value. Not a popular movie and there are several out there.

    $1300 credit…WHAT should I get?!

    Would it not be easier to pay for the prop and then consign it somewhere or sell it on FB for example? Now you are out your deposit.

    Is this Luke Skywalker & Rey Skywalker FX Bladed Hero Prop Lightsaber Legit?

    Well, the authenticity of many Star Wars props from the Disney movies and shows that have been offered at auction (and privately) have been debated. Disney is fierce on protecting their assets falling into the hands of collectors and they have been doing a good job of storing what is made. With...
