Field Index — Screen-used props, costume, production materials

Movie & TV Memorabilia — Realized Sales Index

Movie and TV memorabilia has emerged as the second-largest single-category tracked sector in the Field Index, driven by Propstore's maturation as an institutional auction house. Documented chain-of-custody from the production is the operative authentication standard — without it, even visually-accurate items trade at a deep discount.

Tracked sales: 10
Median sale: $1.06M
Highest sale: $32.5M
Aggregate hammer: $44.4M

What drives value
