E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial Original Film Cells Limited Edition Framed Display #124/200
Is this E.T. filmcel genuinely part of a limited edition run? Does it hold real investment appeal for collectors of 1980s science fiction cinema? How scarce is this particular ET Film Cells numbered piece within its run of 200?
Each question finds its answer below, because this presentation connects directly to one of the most beloved family films ever produced. E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial remains a defining touchstone of 1980s cinema, and these ET Film Cells offer a tangible link to that legacy.
How much is this E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial film cell worth?
Establishing a precise 2026 market value for this specific numbered edition requires sales data drawn from independently verified auction comparables. In 2026, an authentic example of these ET Film Cells in very good condition is valued at approximately £45 – £60.
This valuation reflects several factors. The piece carries a genuine production-era Certificate of Authenticity from Diamond Card Exchange Inc., confirming its place within a finite run of 200. Condition plays a meaningful role too, with this example showing only minimal wear consistent with careful home display. Numbered editions toward the lower half of a run, such as #124/200, often hold steadier long-term appeal among collectors who prioritise traceable provenance.
ET Film Cells details
This presentation features genuine 35mm film cells taken directly from a release print of E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial (1982). The cells are mounted on thick black card beneath a 5.25-inch by 3.75-inch colour image depicting Drew Barrymore’s character Gertie kissing E.T., one of the film’s most affectionately remembered moments. A gold-coloured plaque sits to the bottom left, etched with the wording “E.T. Original Filmcel Limited Edition #124/200”, confirming its place within a strictly finite production run. ET Film Cells.
The whole arrangement is glazed in Perspex and held within a gold-coloured frame measuring 12 inches by 10 inches overall. A clever aperture on the reverse allows the film cells themselves to be held up to natural light, revealing the individual frames in genuine detail rather than leaving them hidden behind card. This is a thoughtful touch that separates a quality film cell presentation from a purely decorative print.

About E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial
Steven Spielberg directed E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial from a screenplay by Melissa Mathison, drawing on Spielberg’s own childhood memories following his parents’ divorce. Produced on a modest budget of $10.5 million, the film used ground-breaking effects, puppetry, and animatronics to bring E.T. to life, with Carlo Rambaldi’s animatronic design proving central to its emotional impact.
Released in 1982, the film became the highest-grossing film of all time, surpassing Star Wars, a record it held for eleven years until Spielberg’s own Jurassic Park surpassed it in 1993. It earned $11.8 million in its opening weekend alone, an extraordinary figure for its era.
The film received nine Academy Award nominations and won four: Best Original Score, Best Visual Effects, Best Sound, and Best Sound Editing. John Williams’ score also brought him two Grammy Awards and a BAFTA. The young cast, including Henry Thomas, Robert MacNaughton and Drew Barrymore, won Young Artist Awards for their performances.
By 1982, Drew Barrymore was just six years old when she brought Gertie to life, a role that launched one of cinema’s most enduring careers. The friendship at the heart of E.T. has since become shorthand for cinematic warmth itself, cemented further when the film was added to the National Film Registry in 1994 for its cultural and historical significance.
