On November 16th, Blacksparrow Auctions is holding an unprecedented auction of original screen used costumes from the hit film, “The Hunger Games” starring Academy Award winning actress, Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen.
The auction of over 200 original costumes and accessories from the hit film, is taking place November 16th in California at 10888 La Tuna Canyon Road, Suite “L”, Sun Valley, CA 91352. Interested fans and bidders can attend the auction live and bid in person, by phone, and by internet.
When I heard of this auction I decided to order the limited edition hardcover edition of the auction catalog from Blacksparrow Auctions. I recently received the catalog, and am very impressed with it. Here is my review of this hardcover limited edition.
The auction catalog arrived by FedEx in a really creative outer shipping box that had the Blacksparrow logo applied to the outside:
Upon opening up the large shipping box, I noticed neatly wrapped white paper covering the catalog.
To my surprise I not only received the hardcover limited edition auction catalog, but also included was the mini hard cover book, “The World of The Hunger Games“, and “The Hunger Games: The Official Illustrated Movie Companion” as bonuses for ordering early :).
Both of these books come in handy as in the back of the auction catalog is an Appendix which references each costume being auctioned:
Upon opening the auction catalog I noticed a special envelope with an invitation to a reception along with information on a food drive for The Los Angeles Regional Food Bank charity:
The photography of the costume lots is presented beautifully with clear, very large photos of each lot:
Another extra cool thing I noticed in the catalog was Blacksparrow Auctions donating lot # 28, Capitol Girls “Make a Wish” Dress, to the actual “Make a Wish Foundation” recipient who wore the costume in the film. In the lots place added to the catalog is lot # 226, Katniss’ Mom Reaping Shoes. The proceeds from this lot are going to be donated to the “Make a Wish Foundation” itself. Pretty darn cool of Blacksparrow Auctions.
