Lift up your mighty wallet and bid in a movie prop auction featuring Thor's hammer
Other items up for auction include Marilyn Monroe gowns, Stormtrooper helmets, set scripts
Every time we come across auctions for famous movie props and other celebrity memorabilia (including, unfortunately, celebrity hair), we briefly wonder who it is, exactly, that’s spending a small fortune on pop culture trophies of varying levels of aesthetic value. But then we remember that there’s a lot of money going around out there, that some people have a lot more of it to burn than others, and that there are plenty of very wealthy dorks willing to spend a ton of cash for even a fleeting opportunity to play superhero, Star Wars, or Harry Potter dress-up.
Their latest opportunity comes by way of a Turner Classic Movies and Julien’s Auctions collection going up for sale this summer that, as ABC News writes, includes about “1,400 … pieces of Hollywood history.”
