Johnny DeppThe resurgence of popularity seemingly knows no bounds – even the value of his movie props skyrocketed in the wake of his trial victory – including his famous scissor hands.
The actual insertion hand Depp wore in the 1990 hit ‘Edward Scissorhands’ has just been auctioned off for an astonishing $81,250 – nearly double the price experts predicted for the sale auction for the item.
It was at the beginning of May when Propstore – an auction company famous for its millions of dollars worth of movie collectibles – announced a sale that would begin on June 21. Among the items were Depp’s sharp digits.
When the sale was announced, when Johnny and Amber Heard were stuck in litigation, the “Scissorhands” were expected to sell for between $30,000 and $50,000.
However, our auction sources say interest in the lawsuit, particularly Depp’s victoryhelped drive the price up – leading into Tuesday’s live auction where they finally went for $81,250!!!
This isn’t the only hot Depp item on the market. TMZ Broke The Story, Johnny’s Motorcycle From ‘Cry Baby’ Is Also About To hit the bidding block coming soon…the starting bid for this one is $250,000.
While the “silver hands” are gone, Propstore still has its auction until the end of this week.
Some of the other items already sold include Thor’s Hammer ($162,500) and Tom Hank‘Wilson’ from ‘Castaway’ who went for the incredible sum of $187,500.
