‘Game Of Thrones‘ fandom is gearing up as HBO has announced the sale of hundreds of props from the series. The show ended five years ago, but it has carved an important space in television history. In an auction that is a golden opportunity for fans, interested parties can buy the memorabilia and collect pieces of this drama series.
The auction is scheduled for October and will be held by Heritage Auctions. The portfolio of objects from the auction includes very popular props like Jon Snow’s sword – Longclaw. We can expect some clashing of fat figures over these props. The authenticity and quality of the props have also been sanctioned by the studio. Here’s all we know about them.

Jay Roewe, HBO’s senior vice president of global incentives and production planning, has guaranteed the quality of the props would be up to the standards. He stated to the Associated Press, “These items have been curated and taken care of since we finished filming. They are the quality that they were when we finished filming, and we’ve had people working on them for years to keep them in shape. We don’t need them anymore. It’s time to finally open it up to the world.”
It would be interesting to see which prop gets bid on for the highest amount and the competition that fans worldwide would put up for it.
