Dubbed “Consignment Monday” the monthly three hour free event will allow individuals with items to meet with Mastro Auctions leading appraisers, including Brian Marren, an expert Sports and pop culture authority and host of Mastro Auctions’ Collectibles radio show on ESPN in Chicago, and Nicholas Dawes, a well known Antiques Road Show appraiser.
