Bid on Rare Artwork of ‘Jaws,’ the Original ‘Superman,’ and More at the Collectible Posters Auction

Movie posters can make a lasting impact on audiences, with some of the greatest ones being just as iconic as the movies themselves. Rare movie posters, in particular, are a popular item on the auction market; some of the most valuable artworks run for hundreds of thousands of dollars. If you’re looking to snag a new conversation piece for your home theater, Propstore Auction is hosting the Collectible Posters Auction this October.

A few highlights include a Hell’s Angels (1930) three-sheet poster, which is believed to be the only known example of its kind. It’s already starting out at $8000, and is expected to run between $16,000 and $32,000.

A one-sheet Superman (1941) poster also made it to the auction. This movie marks the superhero’s first time on screen and the first movie poster ever made for him. Although its starting bid is $7500, it could reach up to $30,000.

Of course, Propstore Auction couldn’t forget one of the most famous—or infamous—fictional sharks. Steven Spielberg’s Jaws (1975) terrified audiences upon its release. The film is renowned as one of the most successful movies for the director, and this tri-folded poster captures all the magic. The Jaws poster is a lot cheaper compared to the previous entries, starting at $750. However, it may sell for up to $3000.

Aside from movie posters, broken pots can also fetch a high price at auction. This one sold for $60,000 in April of this year.
