Memorabilia -> Autographs: Original -> Movies-> Scripts
If you love movies, one of the best collectible items you can find is an original autographed movie script. These are very rare in many cases, but when you do find one for your favorite movie there is always cause for celebration. This is a unique kind of collectible and there is a huge market for this type of movie memorabilia. If you are interested in purchasing movie scripts for your own collection, here are a few things you should know.
1. Has the script been authenticated?
Today, many movie scripts are available on the internet, and it doesn’t take much to find them and print them out. This has led to numerous problems with fraud, but if you are careful, you can avoid this. Ask the seller to provide you with a certificate of authenticity or a receipt that shows their original purchase. If they will not provide you with any form of proof as to whether or not the script is authentic, it’s best to find another seller.
2. How many cast members signed the script?
It’s a common practice to have numerous members of a cast sign the final script and this is usually done at the wrap party or at events after the filming has been completed. The more cast members that sign the movie script, the more likely it is to be valuable. This is particularly true if the script is quite old and most of the stars in it were very famous. While there is a niche market for small and unknown movie scripts, it is best to go with one that has several well known star’s autographs if you are looking for a valuable collectibles.
3. What is the overall condition of the script?
Don’t be surprised if the script is a little worn, especially if it is older. Paper does discolor slightly and there may be a few rips on the sheets of paper. This shouldn’t be a deal breaker unless the script is in very bad condition. If this is the case, you may be able to get a discount however, but generally, the script will not be worth as much if it does have a lot of damage.
4. What type of script is it?
Shooting scripts and director scripts are typically worth more than the first draft of a movie script, unless the author is very well known. Look for scripts that contain shooting notes for an interesting collectible. If you do come across a first edition script from a well known screenwriter, you’ll still be getting a very good value for your money.
Movie scripts are a unique collectible and many like to see how many they can collect. Whether you are seeking movie scripts from specific favorite movies, or you are trying to collect all of the scripts associated with an actor or director, by following the tips above, you can be assured that you will be getting an authentic script that is well worth the investment.
