Arya’s dagger than killed the Night King went for $93,000, Cersei’s shame bell went for $100,000, and the Iron Throne itself went for $1.5 million.
This past weekend, Heritage Auctions auctioned off nearly 900 props, costumes, maps and more from Game of Thrones. There were bidding wars galore, and at the end of the three-day session, every single lot was sold for a total of $21,115,718, according to Heritage Auctions itself.
In the end, this was the most successful auction themed around a single film or TV show, and the second most successful auction in the history of Heritage Auctions. The most successful, interestingly, was a 2011 auction featuring pieces of Hollywood memorabilia archived by movie star Debbie Reynolds, which included items like the camera on which George Lucas shot Star Wars and clothing worn by Marilyn Monroe. I guess Hollywood as a whole still beats Westeros.
All in all, 32 items from the Game of Thrones auction fetched $100,000 or more. Let’s look at a sampling:
- Obviously, the Iron Throne commanded the highest price: $1,490,000
- Jon Snow’s sword Longclaw was very popular. It main version of the blade sold for $400,000. Someone bought his fur ensemble worn for his trip beyond the wall in “Beyond the Wall” for $137,500, in part because it came with a lighter “action” version of Longclaw. And a rubber version sold for $106,250.
