Propstore's fall poster auction tops $1 million behind rare Disney and Star Wars sales
Propstore's Fall Collectible Poster Auction brought in more than $1 million last weekend, led by a rare 1933 Mickey’s Pal Pluto one-sheet that sold for $47,250. Strong bidding also lifted Clint Eastwood Western posters and a multi-signed Star Wars: A New Hope poster as collectors kept pushing prices higher for scarce film memorabilia.
Why it matters: - Propstore's latest poster sale shows demand remains strong for rare cinema advertising, especially early Disney material, classic Westerns and signed franchise pieces. - The auction cleared more than $1 million, signaling continued depth in the collectibles market for high-end movie posters.
What happened: - Propstore's Fall Collectible Poster Auction ran Oct. 9-11 and generated over $1 million. - A rare one-sheet for Mickey’s Pal Pluto (1933) led the sale at $47,250 including buyer’s premium. - The auction also delivered strong results for Clint Eastwood Western posters and autographed Star Wars material.
The details: - The Mickey’s Pal Pluto poster was a stone lithograph one-sheet offered on linen. - The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966) Italian Four Fogli from The Nicola Bais Collection sold for $31,500. - For a Few Dollars More (1965) Italian Four Fogli from The Nicola Bais Collection sold for $12,600. - A rare multi-signed Star Wars: A New Hope (R-1992) one-sheet sold for $28,350. - The Star Wars poster was signed by Mark Hamill, Harrison Ford, Carrie Fisher and eight other cast members. - Autographed posters in the sale totaled more than $177,000. - Other notable results included The Maltese Falcon (1945) at $15,120, Hard to Handle (1933) at $13,860 and La Dolce Vita (1960) at $13,860. - Seven Samurai (1954) sold for $11,970, and Attack of the 50 Foot Woman (1958) sold for $11,340. - All reported prices included buyer’s premium. - Propstore said the Mickey’s Pal Pluto poster highlighted the lasting appeal of Walt Disney's early animation and the posters made to promote it.
Between the lines: - Early Disney posters continue to draw premium prices because scarcity and character recognition meet in the same lot. - The strong Eastwood and Star Wars results suggest collectors are still paying up for titles with broad cultural recognition and proven resale demand. - Propstore's emphasis on autographed material shows signed posters have become a major lane within the broader movie-poster market. - Grey Smith, Propstore's Director of Posters US, said collectors responded enthusiastically across a wide range of material and that classic cinema posters still hold a special place in the collecting world.
What's next: - Propstore is now accepting consignments for its Spring 2027 poster auction. - The company said further information, catalog images and expert interviews are available through Bethany Willetts at bwilletts@blazepr.com. - Propstore also posted images via Dropbox: auction images
