MPA Auctions
A new way to collect from the only nonprofit dedicated solely to movie poster preservation.
Movie posters, lobby cards, stills, and ephemera at fair prices, with transparent provenance and proceeds that fund the preservation of cinematic history. Bidding for our first lots opens May 18, 2026 — register an account so you’re ready.
What Sets MPA Auctions Apart
Curated, Not Cluttered
Each season we release a hand-selected group of lots from the MPA collection — posters, lobby cards, stills, and ephemera that earn their place by rarity, condition, or historical importance.
Honest Provenance
Every lot includes condition notes, dimensions, and what we know — and don’t know — about its history. No exaggerated grades. No padded descriptions.
Funding Preservation
Every dollar from MPA auctions funds the digitization and care of the archive. When you bid, you’re not just collecting — you’re protecting film history.
