Auction house, Profiles in History, held the first of three entertainment auctions today. “The Dreier Collection Auction” consisted of 396 lots which did very well, hammering ~~approximately* $2.4~~ $2,535,550@ million dollars without the buyers premium or bp included, and ~~close to~~ over $3 million@ with the bp factored in.

There are so many more items I could list but it would take pages to include the many outstanding lots up for auction ;).

I can’t wait to see what the next few days brings with the Animation Auction and Hollywood Auction #49.

There is still time to register to bid for both auctions HERE and HERE.
