Tadaaa! Pee-wee Herman’s Iconic Bike Up For Auction!
Get ready, Pee-wee fans! A piece of movie history is going up for grabs. The very bicycle that carried Pee-wee Herman on his big adventure is being auctioned off this May!
Despite Pee-wee’s famous vow to never part with his beloved bike for any amount of money, it will be a star item at the Van Eaton Galleries & Auctions estate sale on May 3rd and 4th. The auction will also feature a treasure trove of memorabilia from other hit movies and TV shows, including Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Game of Thrones, and even items from The Flintstones and Yellow Submarine.
But let’s be honest, the real prize is Pee-wee’s bike! This isn’t just any prop; it’s the bike, used in several key scenes, including the unforgettable “I meant to do that” crash.
It remains largely unchanged since filming, with only minor touch-ups to restore its original glory. And yes, the “Property of Pee-wee Herman” plaque is still there!
Van Eaton Galleries estimates the bike will fetch between $30,000 and $60,000, but with Pee-wee fans as devoted as they are, who knows how high the bidding will go? This is your chance to own a piece of pop culture history!
Large sums of money! Tadaaa!
