Totally missing Tony Soprano and the gang?
Well, you can pick up a piece of TV history when Christie’s auctions off a collection of costumes from the award-winning Mob drama, including several iconic items worn by actor James Gandolfini.
“The Sopranos” memorabilia is the highlight of Christie’s Pop Culture auction on June 25 in New York.
The outfit to the right is among the lots (No. 14) expected to fetch the most money: It’s the costume worn by Gandolfini in the Season 6 premiere, when Tony was shot by Uncle Junior, and it’s still spattered with fake blood. (The ensemble’s expected to go for at least $2,000.)
And what “Sopranos” fan wouldn’t want Tony’s bathrobe? (Estimate: $1,000- $1,500.)
We were first introduced to the big lug wearing this tan robe (see below) when he strolled down his driveway to pick up the morning paper: Check out the big “S” for Soprano monogram on the pocket.
There’s more, of course. Leisure suits, shoes, leather jackets and Tony’s famous patterned shirts are up for sale, too.
Everything was donated by Gandolfini, who got to keep his costumes when the series ended. The proceeds from the sale will go to a charity picked by the star, the Wounded Warrior Project, a non-profit that helps injured soldiers.
Go to the Christie’s web site to get a closer look of each item.
In addition to Gandolfini’s duds, there’s other clothing up for sale worn by the actors playing Uncle Junior, Christopher Moltisani, Paulie Walnuts, A.J. Soprano, Bobby Baccala and others.
