Albersheims	After running auctions for the past 3 years, we've decided to take a break and work as a consignment consultant with several other top notch auction houses around the world. Basically, we are like an insurance agent. If you needed car insurance, your agent works with several companies. We'll find the right auction house to work with you. In fact because we do such large bulk consignments we can probably procure a better consignment than you'd be able to receive on your own. We also will walk you through your best and worst case scenarios and help you to achieve top dollar for your treasures.

PCCE2009	Collectibles isn't a "mom and pop" industry anymore. The truth is it hasn't been for quite awhile. In fact, collecting has become a billion dollar market. In 2001, Doug Allen, President and COO of Mastro Auctions, a leading Sports and Americana auction house and Ryan Friedman, owner of Auction Report, began exploring resources, information and issues that the rapidly evolving collecting industry would require as a result of its transformation from a primarily home-based, small time hobby to its current big business status.
