Treasure or trivia? Collectors decide

Two sales offer a fertile hunting ground for film and music buffs.

From King Kong to Star Wars; My Fair Lady to Psycho; Tarzan to Goldfinger; the breadth of work on offer at Whyte’s sale of movie posters in Dublin at noon today is stunning.

Estimates vary from €100-€200 to €3,000-€5,000 for Hitchcock’s Rear Window. There are 364 lots in total.

The auction will be followed by a sale of Rock and Pop memorabilia at 4pm at Whyte’s on Molesworth St.

This includes everything from the Beatles and the Beach Boys to Marc Bolan and Bon Jovi. There is a Cranberries’ cassette and a photograph of The Everly Brothers by Lew Allen.

Also at auction is a Black Fedora signed by Michael Jackson, a U2 War Concert programme signed by all the band, and a postcard from Germany signed by Elvis Presley.
