Prop Store’s Cinema Poster Live Auction was held yesterday (Thursday 23rd April 2020) and was suitable for fans with a variety of budgets, with lots selling between £50 and £7,000. The Prop Store team once again proved how agile and dexterous they can be, adapting to the current pandemic situation by producing the entire auction over a Zoom video-call.

Stephen Lane, Prop Store CEO, commented on the auction: “We are absolutely thrilled with the outcome of our fifth Cinema Poster Live Auction. We saw a record-number of bidders from across the globe, and sold strong and over-estimate, with many of our James Bond and Star Wars posters achieving particularly great results!”

Mark Hochman, Prop Store’s poster expert, also commented on the auction: "Prop Store's fifth poster auction certainly achieved some impressive results which just goes to show, that even in such troubling times, if you have the right content and approach it will sell, and I'm sure some of today's purchases have put big smiles on the buyer's faces. High quality, rare Star Wars, Sci-Fi and James Bond memorabilia will always be popular, and our results prove that.”
