But as Kathleen M. Doyle, chairman and chief executive of Doyle New York, put it, “They had a 200-year head start.” Auctions for fine art, decorative arts and collectibles of all stripes are everywhere, in New York and across the country. You just have to know where to look. Here are just a few standouts and some of the areas they specialize in. All have brick-and-mortar sales rooms in addition to online buying..... Heritage Auctions <https://www.ha.com/> *Headquarters: Dallas* *Founded: 1983* *Best bets: coins, sports memorabilia, comics, movie posters* With roots in coin auctions, Heritage has grown quite large: It raked in $438 million last year in online sales alone, and the firm now conducts live auctions in 10 locations across the globe and across many categories. But their bread and butter are items that the company president, Greg Rohan, calls “the kinds of things that everyone has,” like comic books, baseball cards and classic film posters. “People aren’t buying what we’re selling for decoration or for resale,” he added. “They’re buying things they absolutely love.” -- Mel S.
