Movie buffs will instantly recognize some of the film and television props taking the spotlight in an upcoming memorabilia auction — some are from classic flicks like “Jaws” and “Star Wars.”
Memorabilia auction house Propstore said its first Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction of 2026 is happening March 25-27 in Los Angeles.
The three-day event will feature “1,550 rare lots” up for worldwide bidding (online, by phone, and absentee), including props, costumes, artwork, and production materials. Propstore expects the memorabilia could fetch up to a combined pre-sale of $9 million.
The auction house will host a free public preview at The Maybourne Hotel in Beverly Hills on March 11 at 4 p.m. where collectors can take a closer look at the auction items.
For now, here are 10 highlights from the auction block:
