I lifted the thin stack of credits under a gallery light and felt the weight of a story. You could hear, in a way, the canister from the Aldhani vault closing somewhere offstage. I told the room I’d found them during a rehearsal for trouble, and everyone laughed — nervously.
Heritage Auctions is staging its third annual Star Wars Day sale on May 4, and among the lots is the exact stack of Imperial Credits seen during Cassian Andor’s Aldhani payroll heist in season one of Andor. If you collect screen-used props, this is the kind of lot that proves provenance matters as much as glossy provenance photos.
The catalog felt thin in my hands before I read the lot description
The auction description from Heritage Auctions is precise: the credits are cast resin with a black-and-gold finish and the Imperial crest embossed on the front. The provenance note ties them to season one’s episode “The Eye.” The lot shows production wear — color loss on corners, light handling blemishes — which, oddly, increases desirability because it reads like the prop actually lived on screen.
How much do Andor props sell for?
Prices vary wildly. This particular stack is currently going for $1,050 (€970) and the bidding has nearly a month to run; expect volatility as collectors and investors react to the May the Fourth timetable. Smaller props like gloves or handheld devices often fall in the low hundreds, while significant set pieces or hero items can jump into five figures when competition heats up on Heritage Auctions, Prop Store, or specialist auction platforms such as Invaluable and LiveAuctioneers.
The credits’ wear makes them feel like a faded banknote caught in a storm drain — imperfect, readable, and proof that the universe on screen scratched against physical objects.

Other season-one items in the sale tell a small history of Cassian Andor’s world: a pair of “Ferrix Docker” gloves worn in Maarva Andor’s home, a soldering device and a zap rod from the Narkina 5 prison complex, and an aquatic creature prop used as part of young Cassian’s Kenari village set dressing. Heritage’s lot pages carry images and condition reports; HA.com is the primary source for bidding and provenance documents.
Where can I buy Andor props?
You can bid directly on Heritage Auctions’ Star Wars Day sale page — the auction runs through May 4 — or track the secondary market on eBay, Prop Store, and auction aggregators like LiveAuctioneers. Follow Heritage Auctions on X and Instagram for previews; for large purchases, consult a specialist auction house or an appraiser who works with screen-used memorabilia. Industry figures such as Diego Luna and Stellan Skarsgård are, of course, the names people search alongside lot numbers when they vet interest or press coverage.
Buying a prop is like learning a secret handshake in a crowded room: it grants you entry, but only if you can prove you belong.
The bid clock ticked and my feed kept refreshing
There’s no public notice that this exact stack was involved in the moment Keris Nemik met his fate, and Heritage’s description makes no narrative claims beyond screen use. If you’re buying, read the condition report closely. Look for production notes, set photos, or call sheets that Heritage or other auction houses supply. That paperwork is the difference between owning a replica and owning a piece of the production story.
If a stack of Imperial Credits can feel like a small, illicit victory every time you pass it on a shelf, then the question becomes less about price and more about what you want your collection to say — would you pay to own the memory of a heist, or is that purchase itself a new kind of ledger worth balancing against your conscience?
