Man, I think my favourite piece out of the list has to be from The Rocketeer. I loved that movie when I was 9. Still do.
The staff of Ra headpiece from Raiders is a close second.
But man, the Alien costume and Chris Reeve's Superman costume are pretty cool too.
Man, the playground of the rich is always more alluring. Still, I'd rather be happy than rich.

Why is Stevie Wonder selling Grammys?

I actually liked Val Kilmer's Bruce Wayne... but someone liked it enough to drop $63k on his suit? Yikes!

Auctions are God's way of telling you you've got too much money.

Right Aladdin Sane, you can't be happy AND rich

Still Aladdin Sane, I'd rather be happy AND rich.

Auctions. I love them if I get to pay 15 bucks for something worth $1000, which I have done numerous times in London and Glasgow (best place for auctions!). However, It takes a lot of time.
The only celebrity auction item I would be tempted to spend $$$ on is Raquel Welch's animal bikini from One Million Years B.C., or some of Diana RIggs' costumes from 1964-67.
Most of the list above don;t seem to be very "special" items since many of the movies they are from are so forgettable, the one sheets & posters above, excepted.

I'd also pay for Raquel's booties too.

I was only half serious with the statement. I'd love to be happy AND rich too.

The Staff of Ra headpiece appeared to be questionable. If anyone is ever considering acquiring an original prop, I would recommend doing a lot of research and networking with seasoned collectors to ensure the piece is authentic.
