Lets see your RMY winnings

[Brian]

yeah, there was just a lot of good entertainment stuff this time, too many to bid on.
I wanted the Supremes, Dylan, Sex Pistols, and Doors photos but got shut out on all of them. Loved that Sex Pistols photo, oh, and the Salvador Dali, which was too cool.

I did snag the Lennon and Ono though, and my all-time favorite blonde. Right up there with a Ruth photo (uh-oh, heresy!).

Thank you for this thread! You guys are going think "duh!"but I never knew about RMY. I guess I had seen their advertisements on the Net 54 banner but never thought much of it. This is the kind of stuff I really like! You all made some beautiful selections! I have been trapped in the idea that a picture had to be autographed to be pricey or valuable or something to spend money on. I can see now that isn't the case. Like I said, you all can say "duh!" I love learning new things! How often does RMY put on an auction? Are there other such reputable auction houses focusing on photographic images like these? Thanks.

RMY runs auction pretty much monthly. About 3-4x a year Rhys runs a "Premier" auction. The one that just ended was a Premier. The regular monthlies end at midnight and the premier's end at 2am.

Great selection, quality, and customer service. Some awesome stuff.

Thank you for the reply. That leads to another question. How does the quality of the monthly offerings stack up against the Premier offerings?

[Lordstan]

There are excellent offerings every month, but Rhys does save some of the really higher end photos for the premier. The monthlys are also smaller. They have about 350 lots vs 1200 for the Premier.

I will certainly be registering with them and getting my feet wet in July's auction. I have been scrolling through some of the photos that sold in the Premier auction. There were some striking photos! This has opened up a whole new world to me as a collector. Much more exciting to me than simply cards alone. This is right up my alley! I love the visuals and the story that each photo tells.

You guys who buy photos in the RMY auctions, do you frame and display everything you buy or do some pictures find there way into photo albums of sorts with PVC- and acid-free sleeves? Thanks for any input.

Robert,
That is a loaded question, though not in a bad way. In previous discussion, we have found that people house their photos in many many different ways, including Mylar sleeves, photographic folio books, framed, and others I am sure to have missed. I don't know there is a perfect way, but Dr Cycleback(DRCY) will likely be able to answer that question better than I.
