TL;DR

A pair of Judy Garland's iconic ruby slippers from "The Wizard of Oz," stolen from a Minnesota museum nearly 20 years ago, sold at auction for $28 million, setting a record for movie memorabilia. Including auction house commissions, the total price reached $32.5 million, far exceeding the pre-auction estimate. The slippers, one of four surviving pairs, were recovered in 2018 after being stolen in 2005. Other items from the film also fetched high prices at the auction.
