| Authentic Scarface memorabilia can sell at auction for thousands of dollars. The 1983 blockbuster film, which was directed by Brian DePalma and which started Al Pacino as a Cuban mobster on the rise in Miami, has become a cult classic. The movie was based on a Howard Hawks film of 1932. The plot follows Pacino's character, Tony Montana, as he develops a powerful cocaine cartel in South Miami and eventually loses his fortune thanks to excess. Many hip-hop artists collect Scarface memorabilia. Indeed, the film Scarface represents in many ways both the ideals and the excesses of the hip-hop gangsta lifestyle. Montana's rise from poverty and obscurity to wealth eerily mirrors the biographies of many of hip-hop's most prominent artists. What are the most valuable pieces of Scarface memorabilia and ephemera? Original, mint condition posters from the film can sell for hundreds of dollars. People have even developed specialty Scarface frames for their posters. Al Pacino-autographed Scarface memorabilia sells for thousands. Film cells from the actual movie are hugely collectible, although many fans believe that these cells are currently overpriced. You can get montage film cells, stand-alones, and cells in numerous photographic formats. Be sure to guarantee the authenticity of any Scarface memorabilia before you buy. Replicas abound, particularly since the film is such a cult classic. Don't invest in non-mint and non-framed posters or cells. Poor condition Scarface memorabilia doesn't have great resale value. |
