Wizard of Oz Turns 70 – Collecting Oz Movie Posters & Celebrity Autographs
If there ever was a time when Oz lovers were vilified for their passion it may be this week as Oz and the world Celebrates 70 years of timeless wonder. For those of us who grew up watching this magical event once a year…
I have always been a wizard of Oz fan, it is probably my favorite movie of all time. Yet, maybe I never really understood the genuine mystic, magic behind this 1939 masterpiece until two years ago when my daughter was just a year old. I’ll never forget as the Lion (the lovable Bert Lahr) burst from the woods with a cowardly persona disguised by a false intimidation. Little Anna’s eyes were as wide as they could get, fixated on this furry, unfamiliar character. She was mesmerized as I was over 40 years ago at my first Oz viewing. This movie really took you inside, like an out of body experience onto the “yellow brick road”.
This week to celebrate this historical event was one-shot theatrical runs of Oz in high definition in nearly 400 cities. And, This Wizard, hits stores on Sept. 29 in a newly remastered Hi-Def DVDs and Blu-ray.
As a collector of original vintage movie memorabilia the Wizard of Oz was my earliest collecting passions. And, 25 years later it may be the most popular of all my categories on my vintage treasures web site. From autographed photos of Oz cast members to original movie posters, these are examples of Oz treasures collectors can’t get enough of. To give you an example of the demand for original vintage Oz memorabilia. Last week an authentically autographed photo in character of the “Good Witch Glinda” sold for over $11,000.
For Oz and autograph collectors an autographed photo in Oz character of Glinda is highly scarce as only ONE other has ever surfaced on the market prior to last week’s auction. Other scarce Oz signed photos are Frank Morgan as the Wizard (sold for over $10,000), Judy Garland as “Dorothy” (sell for over $20,000) and the Bert Lahr as the “Lion” (sells for over $10,000). The original movie posters can sell in excess of $50,000. However, since an original Wizard of OZ one sheet movie poster has never surfaced in the marketplace, a value of over $100,000 would be no surprise. Hence, if you are a collector of Oz memorabilia, you have good taste, not to mention wise investment intuition.
Other events this week include A 71/2-story hot-air balloon that began touring the country since taking off May 13 from Kansas City, Kan., stops Thursday at New York’s Tavern on the Green. The gala features Judy Garland’s daughter Lorna Luft, surviving Munchkins and Ashanti, who plays Dorothy in New York City Center’s production of The Wiz. All this and a yellow brick carpet, too.
Also to celebrate Oz turning 70 this week Ashanti will light the Empire State Building – Emerald City-green, of course. All of this to commemorate what many believe to be the greatest movie ever produced. Just think, 70 years later, with all the technology and Hollywood talent, nothing has since come close.
