REA Announcement
 

Not sure
 

If he sold to Brian or just put him in charge. Either way Brian is the right man for the job. As honest as anyone in the field. I am sure he will continue the great reputation REA has.

So who is Robert Edward? Does that name get passed on like the Dread Pirate Roberts?

I always assumed Edward was Rob's middle name.

Congratulations to both Rob and Brian. I have always enjoyed Rob's auctions, and I am an unabashed huge fan of Brian Dwyer.

They run a good auction...its good he can go see the world now..

Double Dittoes.............

Your Princess Bride comment may have been lost in the shuffle...........

This is the end of an era. No one in the auction field has the card knowledge or the contacts that Rob has. I really like Brian, but I can't imagine the catalog write-ups not suffering when Rob leaves. Sounds like Christmas has come early to Dallas.

Another fan here

Dallas did not need Christmas, it has been doing staggeringly well.

Wish I knew this before sending my consignments this week........... :D

(Just kidding Rob and Brian, having spoken with you both several times, I trust the decision and my consignments with them implicitly)

Best of luck in the future Rob, just enjoy life!!!!

Brian is the right man to help move the business forward. Best auction house in the business.

Mega dittos. Brian is a great guy. I look forward to his future auctions.

Fantastic opportunity for Brian Dwyer and it couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Congratulations, Brian!!! Well earned!

Huge Congrats to Brian (and Rob). Brian is one of the best.

I think REA should include with their next catalog

A "fan for a fan" with Brian's face on it



One of the good guys in the hobby, and there are FEW

REA is in great hands... Brian is one of the most respected guys in the hobby, even if he does still look 20....;).

Be well Brian

Delighted for Brian. Rob will be missed; I still have utmost respect for REA, as both a frequent bidder, and a less frequent consignor.

Congrats to Brian and Rob. REA will be in good hands.....

Best of luck to Brian, who we all know will do well.

But a hearty THANK YOU to Rob Lifson, who has put together some of the finest auctions and most incredible experiences that a hobbyist could hope to enjoy. It's been a privilege to participate in Rob's auctions on a number of different levels, and I'm proud to have had the opportunity to know him. From the standpoint of an auctioneer, he's set an extremely high bar for the rest of us. From the standpoint of a hobbyist, he's made it awfully fun to be a collector.

Very best wishes to Rob for an enriching future.

Brian will do a great job!

All the best,

Jeff

I'm sure REA will continue to roll on fine with Brian.

Happy Retirement Rob!

Congratulations Brian, I'm sure you will do a fine job leading REA.
Congrats to Rob, another stand-up guy w/ your upcoming retirement.

+1. Rob was one of, if not THE most ethical man in the hobby, and Brian has always been accessible to answer my questions before bidding. May REA's wonderful tradition continue!

Best wishes,

Larry

Brian
 

Congrats to Brian! Top class guy!

Very happy for Brian and Rob. Now it can be rechristened as BREA!

Or, how about Dwyer-REA? That's got a nice ring to it.

Congrats to all involved.

Congrats, Brian! Always had top notch customer service even way back as SGC. Great to see REA in good hands. Happy retirement, Rob!

Class acts all around. Best of luck to both.

I anxiously await the Hauls of Shame expose version of events.:p

REA+BD=BREAD. It's an appropriate name, they certainly make enough of it.

Good luck to both Rob and Brain!

Jimmy

CONGRATS to you, Brian! REA is in good hands going forward!

+1, well deserved! Congratulations, Brian!

Congrats to both Rob and Brian, There could not be a better more respected guy in our hobby to take over REA! Hope Rob has fun in his retirement!

Good luck to Brian to bringing REA to even greater heights!

You won't need it Brian, but I wish it always to someone with class, best of luck.
