Over half of the 290 Star Wars items in this special auction were consigned by a single collector. The consignor shared that after seeing Star Wars, he started putting posters up in his bedroom, including the Hildebrandt A New Hope poster.

“As I got older my interest in Star Wars posters grew, as did my earning abilities. So, I started to collect the more obscure and rare posters that were available. Some posters eluded me, but I was fortunate enough to acquire some very special ones as well. I’ve collected Star Wars posters for the better part of 20-plus years,” the consignor said. “And the one thing that still makes me smile is when I look at a poster, and it triggers a fading memory of being a kid again, seeing that poster displayed on my wall. Or as an adult, seeing the beautiful details of Noriyoshi Ohrai’s ‘Star Fall’ and noticing the reflection of the stars on C-3PO’s gold-plated armor.”

“This collection of posters is a reminder to me, of what it felt like to be an impressionable kid sitting in that theater, watching Star Wars for the first time and they still bring a smile to my face,” the consignor added.

Three surprising results from Part I of their June Major auction were Master Mystery linen chapter 9 one-sheet for $28,500, Bullitt linen six-sheet for $6,497, and War Of The Worlds linen one-sheet 1965 rerelease for $4,504.
