It has been my experience that on rare pieces, particuarly 19th century cards
and baseball advertising pieces .that the quality of both the write ups and the
level of bidding makes Robert Edward Auctions, the auction house of choice.
The fact that Robert Edward Auctions has only one auction per year; limits
the number of lots and does not have multiple lots featuring the same item
(i.e. 3 Lou Gehrig PSA 8 1933 Goudey cards) is a distinct advantage.
As a buyer I have excellent experiences with Mastro, Hunt, and Robert Edward
Auctions.
When I chose to sell special items, the reason I chose Robert Edward Auctions
was the knowledge of Rob Lifson. A brilliant merchandiser, incredibly
knowledgable, he leverages all of his talent. He operates with integrity and
speed and pays his consignors faster than anyone else.
On smaller items, (those worth less than $1000), I have excellent experiences
with Barry Sloate. Barry is very knowledgable and very realistic in his expectations.
He, too, paid within 15 days of the sale.
Over the course of the past 30 years that I have been collecting super rare material,
I have only had difficulty on four ocassions. Ultimately, with the help of Rob Lifson
(who refused items that another firm had sold as aunthentic) I was able to get a 100%
refund. I should note that two of the three firms with whom I had a problem are no
longer in business, and the third appears to have corrected its ways.
