CRANSTON, R.I. - July 1, 2021 - PRLog -- Bruneau & Co. Auctioneers' Summer Comic, TCG and Toy auction on Saturday, July 10th, starting at 10 am Eastern time, is shaping up as the firm's biggest and best Pop Culture sale to date. In addition to the abovenamed categories, the first 52 lots will be from the collection of Eric Baker, someone who's very well-known and respected in the community.

Mr. Baker was the creative lead of props and set dressing for The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios and Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge at Disney World and Disneyland. He was also Nickelodeon's prop master and fabricator. Several of the props in the auction were fabricated by him during his career with Nickelodeon. Other items are objects he collected.

"I'm honored that we get to handle the collection of Eric Baker, not just because of his unbelievable career but for the fact he's a longtime friend," said Travis Landry, a Bruneau & Co. auctioneer and the firm's Director of Pop Culture.

The screen-used Frankenstein operation game from Nickelodeon's popular Double Dare TV show (1991), used in numerous episodes throughout the show's run, has an estimate of $1,000-$1,500. The prop, 84 inches tall and 32 inches wide, retains the heart, saw, wrench and hammer accessories. Included is an original snapshot of the Frankenstein, taken on-set by Eric Baker.

Two prototype shrunken heads from Universal Studios' Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park, made circa 2015, will be sold as one lot, with an estimate of $800-$1,200. These were the samples to the production 'Shrunken Heads' found in the park's gift shops. Each has production notes on the bottom.

Also from the Eric Baker collection, The Upside-Down Compass of Henry Hudson, used on-screen in Nickelodeon's Legends of the Hidden Temple TV game show, an artifact that was a point of focus in the show's 90th episode in 1995, is expected to change hands for $300-$500.

The second portion of the catalog will include 321 lots of graded CGC and CBCS comic books, in addition to group lots of Golden, Silver, Bronze, and Modern Age comics. The entirety of the recently graded CGC Silver and Bronze age comics came from an original owner New Jersey collection Bruneau & Co. processed this year – truly a great selection of books. The final portion of the catalog includes 166 lots of Pokémon trading cards.
