ScreenUsed is holding their next quarterly live auction on Saturday, December 10th. The company will with this auction begin to host their events on their own website (rather than third-party services like LiveAuctioneers and iCollector). Additionally, back in September they began to host “Timed Daily Auctions”, with 15 new items every weekday.
The print and online catalogs are now available, and online bidding is now live for Prop Store and Summit Entertainment’s two-day live-auction event of original props, costumes, and set decoration pieces used in The Twilight Saga (Twilight, The Twilight Saga: New Moon, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1, and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2). The live event features more than 900 lots of props, costumes and other film memorabilia. There will be an exhibition at the TCL Chinese Theatres in Hollywood, CA on November 18th -20th with the live auction being held on November 19th and 20th. [Read more…]

This is part of my ongoing coverage of San Diego Comic-Con 2016. As with past years, Prop Store had an impressive display of original props and costumes from film and television on display throughout Comic Con. This year, they also used the occasion to announce three live auctions, their Entertainment Memorabilia Auction in London the Fall, The Twilight Saga Live Auction in Los Angeles on November 19th and 20th, and their Phil Tippett Auction in Los Angeles on October 3rd.

This is part of my ongoing coverage of San Diego Comic-Con 2016. This year, auction house Profiles in History had an all-artwork exhibit, with pieces from their upcoming Frank Darabont Collection on display, including Frank Frazetta works among the highlights. Profiles has marketed “Sea Witch” as “The Only Million Dollar Art Piece at Comic-Con” and “The Single Most Important and Most Valuable Frazetta Painting to EVER be Offered At Auction (pre-sale estimate of $1,000,000 – $1,500,000)”, so it will be interesting to see if it meets the reserve at the July 30th auction. I have been reporting on Profiles in History as registered press at Comic Con International every year for the past nine years (see articles from 2008, 2009 Part 1 & 2009 Part 2, 2010 Part 1 & 2010 Part 2, 2011, 2012, 2013 Part 1 & 2013 Part 2, 2014, 2015), but this is the first in which they did not exhibit any TV and/or movie props and costumes.
