A Hill Valley Telegraph newspaper cover headlined "Emmett Brown Committed" from Robert Zemeckis' Back to the Future Part II. Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) returned to 1985 to discover that Doc Brown (Christopher Lloyd) had been committed to a mental hospital while Biff Tannen (Thomas F. Wilson) took over Hill Valley.

This black-and-white Hill Valley Telegraph newspaper cover features a picture of straightjacketed Brown being led into "Mental Ward B" beneath the subheader "Crackpot Inventor Declared Legally Insane." It is dated "May 23, 1983" and intentionally aged by production to appear vintage. Headlines related to Biff, such as "BiffCo to Build Nioxin Plant" and "Tannen Birthplace Declared National Monument," are printed above filler text throughout the cover. It exhibits horizontal and vertical fold lines from production. Dimensions: 14" x 23" (35.75 cm x 58.5 cm)

Estimate: $6,000 - 12,000
