Prop Store’s auction was held yesterday (Thursday 22nd April 2021) and was suitable for fans with a variety of budgets, with lots selling between £50 and £8,750.
Stephen Lane, Prop Store CEO, commented on the auction: “This was our best Cinema Poster Live Auction yet which saw us far surpass our high estimate. Many of the fantastic lots from the Feref Archive and Bryan Fuller collection sold exceptionally well, along with some great results from many of the Star Wars and Mondo posters. We saw some excellent bidding from across the globe and can’t wait for our next poster auction in December.”
Mark Hochman, Prop Store’s poster expert, also commented on the auction: "Prop Store's April poster auction proved to be a special event and more successful than we could have hoped for in the current circumstances with Part One of the Feref Archive Collection proving incredibly popular and very well received. There were certainly some impressive sale prices achieved across the whole auction with the Bryan Fuller Collection and Alternative Movie Poster content smashing our pre-estimate valuations. We knew our Star Wars selection was special, so we saved the best until last and the spectacular results prove us right.”
