Any story behind it?
You'll know by now my favorite film trilogy is Back to the Future - and when I heard there was a movie props and wardrobe auction taking place that featured items from the film, the chance to bid was too good to turn down. So I set myself up with a plan to bid on 3 of the items - and if I won excellent - if not I would have to wait and see if any items ever surfaced again...... What exactly is it? You know that scene in Back to the Future 2 where Marty McFly goes to the future to stop his son ruining his life and enters Cafe 80's? Well the folks that made the film made sure every detail was covered - including the menu at Cafe 80's itself. I ended up winning 1 of my 3 planned bids - missing out on a Hill Valley Police Car Door Emblem and Biff money. The auction I did win was for 34 production made slides from the dishes served at Cafe 80's - all based around 80's icons - example dishes are 'Reagan Scramble' & 'Gorbachev Goulash'. The slides come with a Cetificate of Authenticity. Is it Rare? Collecting Back to the Future props and wardrobe can be a very expensive - and the price certainly reflects the rarity. Before this auction I have never seen anything like these - and I don't think I will anytime soon. Chances are others exist - but I doubt very much if they will surface. Will it be back? It was never out there to begin with - the items aren't sold in shops or online - these are rare and limited production items. Where can I get one now? As it turns out there were duplicates of the slides I won - so - I will be listing the duplicates via a well known auction site in due course. And Finally The slides are date stamped 'April 89' - pretty cool given the fact it shows their time in history. My plans for the ones I own are to frame them - with a photo of the slide in its 'blown up' form next to it.
