We know your routine: every morning, you wake up and look through your closet and lament a glaring omission. You don't have a Cowardly Lion costume. That can be remedied next week: the famous original costume from 1939's The Wizard of Oz is up for auction. 

A bunch of other Hollywood memorabilia will be for sale, too, if you'd like something else. Perhaps Sam's piano from Casablanca or Clark Gable's jacket from Gone With the Wind. There's no telling how much the Cowardly Lion costume will go for, though the AP notes that a way less awesome getup from the movie went for a $1 million last year.

The costume is part of TCM Presents: There's No Place Like Hollywood, which takes place in New York on Monday. Check out all the lots here—there are plenty of lesser items that normal people could actually buy, like a clapper from a Three Stooges movie, Vivien Leigh's annotated copy of Macbeth, plus tons of original posters and scripts.
