Sell to Us · Burbank

Sell vintage in Burbank, where the studios sent things home.

Burbank’s households worked in two great industries, and both left treasure. The studios filled local households with scripts, animation art, props, crew gifts, and department keepsakes that collectors now chase seriously. And Lockheed filled the other half of town with aviation history: badges, photographs, instruments, and the quiet souvenirs of the Skunk Works decades.

Free visit · cash offers · no obligation

We buy both stories, knowledgeably. Animation cels are authenticated, studio paper is read for what it is, and aviation material is handled with the respect its security-minded keepers always gave it. House calls are scheduled, private, and concluded in cash.


What Burbank households hold

Animation art

Production cels, drawings, backgrounds, and model sheets, authenticated and priced properly.

Studio paper and props

Scripts, call sheets, crew gifts, department items, and the keeping of long careers.

Lockheed era pieces

Badges, photographs, instruments, and memorabilia from the aviation decades.

Household contents

Mid-century furnishings from the Rancho to Magnolia Park, kept original.

Collections

Cameras, records, toys: the off-hours passions of industry households.

Crew families hold the real history

Star memorabilia gets the headlines, but collectors and archives prize the working material: a painter’s department samples, a grip’s call sheets, an animator’s rough drawings. Burbank is full of crew families who assume their boxes are junk, and they are usually wrong. Before a studio career’s keepsakes hit the bin, let us look. Magnolia Park to the hillside streets, the visit costs nothing and respects everything.

Common questions

How do you authenticate animation cels?

Production characteristics: peg holes, paint style, studio markings, and provenance. Reproduction and sericel markets are full of confusion, and sorting it out is precisely the service we bring.

Are scripts and call sheets really worth money?

The right ones, absolutely: shooting scripts with revisions, early drafts, and paper from beloved productions all have markets. Even ordinary studio paper finds buyers when the title matters.

Dad worked at Lockheed and never said much. What might his boxes hold?

Badges, certificates, photographs, and sometimes remarkable program memorabilia. We will go through it respectfully and tell you honestly what history is sitting there.

One call. We’ll take itfrom there.
