To My Fellow Hobbyists, Welcome to our September 2010 auction. We have gathered over 1000 unique lots for the session. O ur auction will begin on September 15th and end on September 29th and 30th. We thoroughly enjoyed meeting many of our bidders and consignors at the National Convention in Baltimore. I was amazed at how many people, both dealers and collectors, told us this was the best sho w they have EVER been to. That speaks loudly to the current state of our hobby! I want to thank all those who gav e us consignments and signed up for our mailing list at the sho w. It was truly a record-setting show for us as well. If anyone would like their winnings from this auction brought to either the Hofstra or Chantilly shows, which are 2 weeks after the auction ends, please contact our office for arrangements. Remember when we deliver it to you at a show shipping is FREE!! With all that said, once again our dedicated team has outdone themselv es in assembling this fantastic array of rar e, unusual and even one-of-a-kind items. The newest member of our staff, I'm proud to say, is recent Slippery Rock graduate and my son Ricky Huggins. He will be working with us fulltime for now and I'm sure many of you will get to meet him soon. Dave Stoddard has added even more new features that continue to keep our site simple and user friendly, while incorporating new and useful ideas. Our head writer, Kevin Heffner, and his staff of James Feagin and Mark Raines have worked tirelessly to get these lots written and our former writer-turned-photographer , Matt Flores, along with our "man of many hats," S tefan Wisinski, have captured all the images. Randy Curtis, our utility man, has aided all of the abo ve without missing a beat. Mark Spinrad has swept the catalog for #@%#”s and Josh Wulkan has given Mike Henry the “canvas and paint” he needs to create another masterpiece. Kris Fraley and Randy did another amazing job sending out all the lots in a safe and timely manner . Great job guys!! 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), led by the tireless Steve Dickler, have gathered together another fine assortment of “goodies”.
