Sam Neill spoke of his collection; “My Jurassic Park boots, along with my Jurassic World hat, scarf, shirt, and jacket are up for auction at Propstore’s Entertainment Memorabilia Live Auction on 28th June. These boots were made for kicking dinosaurs, in the words of the old song. And indeed they did, in the first Jurassic Park. I ran for miles in them. These items are utterly unique, possibly even iconic if you’re a fan. Most importantly, the full proceeds will go towards helping support refugee children through the vital and incredible work of UNICEF UK.”

About Propstore
In 1998, Propstore founder Stephen Lane’s love for movies led him to hunt for the same props and costumes used to create his favorite films. He found that he could not only provide collectors with access to their most coveted pieces, but also establish archival standards for this new, pop-culture hybrid of fine art and memorabilia collecting—prop art.
Since 2014, Propstore has been regularly hosting live auctions featuring some of cinema’s most coveted treasures and has continued to break auction records year after year. In recent years, Propstore has expanded beyond film memorabilia, hosting bi-annual cinema poster auctions, and ventured into the world of music memorabilia for the first time in 2022. In addition, Propstore holds regular online auctions, partnering with many of the film industry’s major production companies, as well as having over 5,000 items available for sale at fixed price on www.propstore.com.
In 2020, Propstore received the Queen’s Award for Enterprise in International Trade. The Queen’s Award for Enterprise is widely recognized as the highest accolade for business success in the UK. The award acknowledges British companies that have excelled in innovation, international trade, sustainable development, and promoting opportunity through social mobility.
