and &#8220;Everything Must Be Sold!&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Leading up to and following the closure of Backlot Props, I had been contacted by several parties outside of the field asking questions about the dealer and its business, as it seemed a variety of individuals were exploring the opportunity to buy it some time ago.<\/p>\n<p>I had a few pleasant conversations with one of the principals of Abacus Costumes &amp;

Demons, The Matrix Trilogy, Alexander, Camelot, Hidalgo, The Patriot, Poseidon, The Last Samurai, The Other Boleyn Girl, Adventureland, Last Starfighte, Babylon V, Gangs of New York, Crusade, Domolition Man, Star Trek Enterprise, Star Trek 1st Generation, Star Trek Next Generation, Krull, Alien 3, Year One, Scooby Doo, Ella Enchanted, The Santa Clause, Mr. 3000, The Rookie, Game Plan, Remember the Titans, Greatest Game Ever Played, Miracle, Invincible, Hannah Montana Movie, Oceans 13, The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Sky High, V for Vendetta, Beerfest and Many Others&#8230;<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Of note, the auctioneer is outsourcing shipping of items won in the sale for out of the area bidding participants, and they provide a list of third party shipping companies on their site (<a href=\"http:\/\/auctions.tigergroupllc.com\/images\/ship.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">LINK<\/a>).\u00a0 There is also a 15% buyer&#8217;s premium plus sales tax, according to the auction terms.<\/p>\n<p>It will be interesting to see how the current global economic climate continues to impact the hobby at large, as it would seem that there is less and less of a demand for and interest in material that is not &#8220;hero&#8221;, &#8220;iconic&#8221;, from the most popular films and television programs, and\/or associated directly with use by principals and stars.\u00a0 Of course, over the past several years, more and more material has been offered into the marketplace from a wide variety of sources.\u00a0 A coupling of the depressed economy and a marked increase in availability of original memorabilia assets to purchase, along with the constant trend of many hobbyists generally gravitating toward more prominent (i.e. more rare and expensive) pieces will likely continue to reveal a pattern of the lesser material becoming more and more prevalent, and of lesser value.<\/p>\n<p>Jason DeBord<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Abacus Costumes &amp;
