Fans of Lost are about to get down and dirty when props from the drama go up for bidding in a California auction this weekend.
Profiles in History’s Joe Maddalena is offering thousands of items from the TV show, and told USA Today that many of the items have come straight from the set and haven’t been touched. “You can still see the studio blood.”
Maddalena revealed that fans from 32 countries are pre-bidding on things like John Locke’s knife and Hurley’s van. But that’s only the beginning. Other items include plane wreckage and seats, the old Apple computers from the Swan station, Virgin Mary statues, hatch doors, and a pilot script signed by series creators J.J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof.
The memorabilia is currently secure in an airport hangar in Santa Monica, Calif., where the auction will take place.
If you’re interested in bidding, or just perusing, go to profilesinhistory.com. The auction ends two days before the final season is released on DVD.
Maddalena hopes to raise more than $1 million, with proceeds going to ABC Studios and various charities. Bidding for many items, like a Dharma jumpsuit worn by Josh Holloway's Sawyer (when he was disguised as Lafleur), starts at $200.
Lost ended in May after six seasons.
