Superhero Museum Collection Auction: Part 6

This is one of the Batman tables.
There was some nice stuff on it but I was really hoping to find some vintage goodness at the auction. Especially a 1966 Fireking Robin mug to complete my set.

There were some boxes of stuff that contained some hidden gold goodness but I would have to leave long before they got to these items.

My son was home sick and my wife had some place she had to be. I had been there three hours already waiting for them to get to the stuff I could afford. I know by the time they got to the Batman stuff it would have gone really cheap or bundled and gotten a ton of stuff.
I think this is why my wife had some place she had to be.

I didn't make it to the Batman tables.




Is this a Mego Mister Mxyzptlk? I would have bid on this guy had I been there.


I probably would have bid on this hairbrush too.
I wouldn't have used it though.




The lunch box yet again. They grabbed it off the back table and auctioned it right after the costumes. If it would have stayed in the back I might have begged to stay until they got to it.




This would have been nice too.



They started in this corner and made their way around the room. The Batman stuff was on the opposite corner. Ugh!

So I bid on the only Batman item that was in this section and got it.


It was in the cabinet to the left. In the top left corner.


Finally the last big dollar item was auctioned off.
A tiny Superman charm that went for $600.


You can see all the costumes hanging to the left.
See Robins cape peeking out towards the back?

Superhero Museum Collection Auction: Part 5

A random collection of some of the catalog items.
Autographed pictures, resin statues and a prop ring of red kryptonite from Smallville.


Here are some model kits and Superman figures.


Some Batman items.

These items caught my eye.


Some Superman figures.

The crowd was gathering before the auction.


There were two tables full of Batman items.


The lunch box I wanted. :(

Superhero Museum Collection Auction: Part 4

The Batboat sold for $5,000 and was in better shape than the Batmobile.


It would be cool to have this on your lake wouldn't it?

A guy standing next to me said he knew boats and wasn't sure if this boat would even float.
He said it was missing some important seals.

I suppose if you shelled out the money for the Batboat it wouldn't be to ski behind it but you would most likely use it to make money by making appearances and things.

If it were me and I had the Batmoblie it would definitely be a daily driver.

Superhero Museum Collection Auction: Part 3

There in the distance is the 1989 Batmoblie and the 1966 Batboat.


I took these shots as I was leaving the auction.
The Batmobile sold for $12,000.00 to an online bidder.

I wonder if they would have given that much for it if they would have seen it in person?


Brian A is right. It looks like the Penguin and his goons got a hold of it.


This is how the front end looked when I saw it in the museum a few years ago.

You can see posts about my visit HERE

This is what it looked like on the auctions site.

They did have this one posted too which is a little more honest.


I wonder what happened to it?


Someone stripped off every detail.
Look at the detail by the big intake looking thing towards the back.


All gone now.


Looks like someone pried the launch doors open and bent them all up.


Windows are all gone and I couldn't even tell if there were any seats in it.

When it was in the museum the owner told me the cowling slid open like it did in the movie.
Now it has a cheesy hinge on top.


The back end of the Batmobile while in the museum.

What value is there in reflectors?
Why would you strip them off?

The only thing I could think of was to have it repainted.
That would explain all the details being removed and the sandblasted looking body.


The burner still looks cool and was supposed to work at one time.


I wonder what the guy that bought it thought when he got it?

Superhero Museum Collection Auction: Part 2

Sorry for the poor quality of the video but I was zoomed in from the back of the room.
Bloggers should get press passes.


Here are some of the prices.

It was light blue and brown so it would photograph better in black and white.

This was gray and brown for shooting in black and white as well.

George Reeves color suit.

Marlon Brando's "Jorel" tunic from 1978.


Christopher Reeve form Superman 3.


Christopher Reeve's Superman wig complete with the curl in the forehead.



Christopher Reeve cape worn in Superman 3. Called the dirty/evil cape.


Dean Cain's suit complete with boots.


Teri Hatcher's Superman nightgown.


From Superboy.


Supergirl suit complete with purse.
Just kidding.


Suit was even signed by Burt Ward.




These had seen better days. I will give more details about that later.
