Yesterday here at borg we featured this week’s entertainment memorabilia auction by Los Angeles auction house Propstore and its big sale of an original X-Wing Fighter filming model. The auction continues through Friday, but Wednesday you may have overlooked an intriguing prop from the 2017 Academy Award-nominated superhero movie Logan (probably the best superhero film of all time, reviewed here). Comic book collecting is a major industry with every price level and niche of comics fandom having legions of collectors. A pile of comic books was featured in the groundbreaking film directed by James Mangold, but they weren’t ordinary comic books. They were made exclusively for the movie. And one of those comics sold Tuesday for $17,500 (including a 25% buyer’s premium).
