Default 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.

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.

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

(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!!!!

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

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.

-Al

+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,

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