Where Do Movie Props Go To Die?

If the movie they came from was a hit, the props could have quite an afterlife. Nobody wants mementos of, say, Heaven’s Gate, but Dorothy’s ruby slippers and Rocky’s boxing gloves are in the Smithsonian; Steven Spielberg paid $60,500 for Rosebud and the Ten Commandments tablets went for $81,700. (Bargains can, however, be had.)
