TomAnyone deal with them in the past? They were Slater's Americana and then just Tom Slater auctions (the principle owner). Just received a letter from them that 'THEY'RE BACK' as they stated on the letter. If you haven't dealt with them, they used to do some nice sports auctions about 3-4 years ago going back from there. Generally they had b/w newsprint catalogs although they were about 1/2 inch thick with quite a few lots. Mostly memorabilia and autographs but they also often had nice vintage cards including T206, Goudey's, E cards and others. Was able to get some decent deals in the past (although we all know those are DEFINITELY a thing of the past). Also Known As (AKA) The Political Gallery at one time.
Anyway, for those interested, their info is:

Looks like the website is up with a current auction for political mdse and a couple previous auctions in Sept and October.

Just wanted new people in the hobby since they were doing auctions to know about it. There's a lot of people on the BB who've only been collecting last 2-4 years and may have missed their auctions.
