To My Fellow Hobbyists, Welcome to our 2nd auction of 2012. We want to thank former Detroit Tiger legend Don Wert for some awe- some items from his personal collection. We are currently working on our June and August auctions with the latter being the one where a vast majority of the items will be on display and open for bidding at the National Convention in Baltimore this summer. Please contact our office to discuss the inclusion of your items in this once-a-year Hobby Extravaganza that will give your items tremendous exposure. We still have plenty of time to work with you on this and look forward to hearing from many of you. Once again our dedicated team has outdone itself, assembling this fantastic group of 884 rare, unusual, and even 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, Ricky Huggins and our newest addition, Steve Chiaravallotti, have carefully described all the items. Ricky has begun to fit in nicely, handling the multitude of tasks we have given him. We also need to thank Ryan Raymond (Ricky's roommate from col- lege), who has joined our staff. Matt Flores has captured the images. Randy Curtis has done a fantastic job working with our consignors to create some unique and interesting lots. Jamey Austin has swept the catalog for #@%#”s, while Josh Wulkan has given Mike and Sally Henry the “canvas and paint” they need to create anoth- er masterpiece. 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 31 strong), led by the tireless Steve Dickler, has gathered together another fine assortment of “goodies.” Should you have items or an entire collection you are thinking about selling, a full list of our well-qualified and ready reps (along with their contact info) is avail- able in this catalog.
