Heritage Auctions is pleased to present what many are calling the most valuable concert poster in existence… the Buddy Holly & the Crickets “Winter Dance Party” concert poster from February 3, 1959, which is truly, exactly “the day the music died,” as anointed by Don McLean’s legendary “American Pie” song. It’s chilling, it’s sad, it’s […]

Coming up in our Beatles-focused auction on September 24 is an incredible portion removed from The Ed Sullivan Show set signed and doodled by the Fab Four.

Draft Script of The Dead Zone from 1981 an Alternate Version

dead zone movie

David Cronenberg has directed many great films. Known more for his “body horror” flicks like Videodrome, The Brood, Scanners, his take on The Fly, and this year’s Crimes of the Future, he’s made a number of them that have nothing to do with the subgenre. One of my favorites of his extensive filmography is his […]

The Faux Mythologies and Authentic Relics of Star Trek!

Since the Original Series, Star Trek has been the gold standard of innovation and creativity in the Sci-Fi genre. From diversity in casting to visionary technology.
