Rare Star Wars and Beatles posters set for auction
The sale of hundreds of movie posters on June 28 is expected to fetch more than £250,000.
A rare Star Wars poster from 1977 and one promoting The Beatles’ A Hard Day’s Night are among hundreds of sought-after posters going under the hammer.
Film and TV memorabilia company Prop Store is selling 400 hard to get posters at a live auction in June, which is expected to fetch more than £250,000.
Highlights include the Star Wars US teaser “B” 7-sheet poster, expected to be one of the highest selling lots with an estimated sale price of between £12,000 and £18,000.
A rare poster from Dracula AD 1972 (1972) is expected to rake in up to £8,000.
Items at the less expensive end of the scale include a Carry On Doctor UK quad poster (1967) with an estimated price of £200 to £300 and a poster from David Bowie’s The Man Who Fell To Earth (1976), estimated to fetch £300.
“We live and breathe movies – to us cinema history is something you can reach out and touch – so original poster art is as much a part of that as props and other memorabilia.
“In short, we’re thrilled to be working in this new market, and hope it will become a regular event.”
Registration and online proxy bids are now open at www.propstore.com/posterauction.
