When director Joe Dante was working on the set of the 1985 film "Explorers," a crew member on the Paramount lot handed him one of the four wooden sleds that had been created for the production of Orson Welles' 1941 classic "Citizen Kane." The studio was getting rid of old props, and the iconic "Rosebud" sled was heading for the dump. Dante gladly accepted the sled and held onto it for 40 years until deciding to sell it at auction — where it just fetched $14.75 million. Only one other piece of movie memorabilia has ever sold for more: a pair of Dorothy's ruby slippers from "The Wizard of Oz."
