Collecting autographed photos and toys can be fun for building anyone's collection. They allow people to start amassing a collection which anyone would be impressed by and can often provide not only a hobby, but a talking point for many people for all of their future guests. One of the more interesting things to collect, however, which would make anyone envious of the celebrity collectibles, are actual props from the films which these actors have appeared in. Owning the different props that one sees in the films can give anyone a sense of wonder when it comes to a memorabilia collection.

Props from the movie sets can come from a variety of sources. Often, after a film's premiere, the studio will auction off many of the props and costumes used in the film for the purpose of charity. This can be a great way to collect these items as you not only help out a worthwhile charity, but you get a piece to make your collection look spectacular. Additionally, many people who worked on the film will often take the pieces with them as a memento. The time may come later where they wish to sell those items and one can find opportunities to buy those items.

There are often two different sorts of props that a person could buy as celebrity collectibles. One may go after actual hand props which were used by the actors during filming. This could be the book which a celebrity was reading to the silverware they used in a dinner scene. A vase which they purchased at a store is a fine example, while the garden tools which they used to murder their husband can all be a fine example. These are items which the actor themselves have touched and that were traditionally used in the filming. Generally, the actor themselves either touched the item or it was clearly in frame during the shooting of the movie.

Other popular types of props which can be bought are all costume pieces. These are items which the actor or actress wore during filming, from full wardrobe choices to individual accessories. Pieces of jewelry are very popular props which become celebrity collectibles, although people will collect everything from shirts, shoes, and full out dresses. These pieces of clothing can end up being very popular as time goes on, for if the film grows into an iconic presence, this type of memorabilia will prove to be very valuable in the future.

One could also purchase replica props as a part of their celebrity collection. While these replica props aren't the authentic deal which was used during filming, they are often made to a degree that they are indistinguishable from the actual item. Another upside is that they are usually cheaper than the genuine article, meaning one can buy these pieces for their collections without having to spend an amount of money which they might be unprepared for. Props can be a wonderful way to enhance a collection of celebrity collectibles.
