To My Fellow Hobbyists, Welcome to our second auction of 2011. With this auction we are asking our bidders and consignors to respond to a poll we are conducting about changing the requirements for initial bids in our future auctions. We are very much in favor of this new concept, especially considering many of you have suggested it to us over the past few years. The new procedure is explained in a starburst on our homepage. Please feel free to call us with any questions. Our dedicated team has once again outdone itself in assembling this fantastic array of rare, unusual and one-of-a-kind items. Dave Stoddard has added even more new features to keep our site simple and user friendly while incorporating new and useful ideas. James Feagin, Mark Raines, Kevin Heffner, and Ricky Huggins have carefully described all the items, while Matt Flores and Stefan Wisinski have captured the images. Randy Curtis has done a fantastic job of working with our consignors to create some unique and interesting lots. Mark Spinrad and Jamey Austin have swept the catalog for #@%#”s, and Josh Wulkan and Stefan have given Mike and Sally Henry the “canvas and paint” they need for them to create another mas- terpiece. Kris Fraley did another amazing job sending out all the lots in a safe and timely manner, while Barry Malkin's eagle eyes have once again spotted some high-grade gems!! Our constantly growing nationwide staff of consignor reps (now at 37 strong), lead by the tireless Steve Dickler, has gathered together another fine assortment of “goodies.” Should you have items or an entire col- lection you are thinking about selling, a full list of our well-qualified reps (along with their contact info) is available in this catalog. Call them. You'll be surprised how much money they can put in your pocket. The ladies of Huggins and Scott Auctions: Nancy, Janet, Stef, Kristie, Brooke, Greta, Gail, Allison, Samantha and Carrie always get their own “Paragraph of Thanks” for putting up with our late hours and countless phone calls. Our final and foremost thanks always goes to our consignors and bidders. From A to Z in both categories you continue to amaze us with the material you turn up and the integrity with which you conduct your- selves in all aspects of our dealings. The friendships we have made out of the trust you have placed in us are immeasurable, and for that we are always grateful. I hope you enjoy our latest catalog. Feel free to call us anytime with questions, comments or suggestions. Good Luck New Time Change!!
