Comisar’s TV treasures which Forbes has been called ‘The World’s Greatest Collection of Television Memorabilia,’ reflected on the upcoming auction, “I have spent 30 years trying to create a museum that honors television’s rich history, and until that can be realized, I want to share with collectors-turned-caretakers, who have always celebrated these shows and valued their materials. These days, few would argue TV’s enduring nature or its emotional hold, and my hope is the objects can live on as long as the shows are streaming through our lives.”

Brandon Alinger, Prop Store COO, commented on the upcoming auction, “Our TV Treasures auction curated by James Comisar includes rare pieces that have never been out in the market before. Prop Store is proud to present this auction from Comisar’s archive - We expect this to be a landmark sale for collectors."
