Tushar Sethi, CEO of Asta Guru, the auction house behind this display, which hosts art auctions since 2008, but now wants to diversify, said, “This is just a teaser of our proposed diversification.”

He added, “I simply looked at my friends, when thinking about what people would like to buy. We have a reserve price of '20,000 each, for these collectibles. Visitors can see the pieces at the venue now, and then bid online on December 17 and 18.” The collectibles were on display but the visitors are yet to arrive. The gallery team was upbeat though, about how high the bidding might go. “The idea is also to create excitement,” they said.
