Yes, a new partnership with Julian's Auction House, instead of Bonham's, the one which they've partnered with from the very beginning and at one time did an incredible job getting the word out and making record breaking sales for movie memorabilia such as the Maltese Falcon and Robby the Robot.
But it looks like Bonham's agreement with TCM has run it's course and/or they just decided to end their relationship and part ways. I can't blame TCM, since from what I was told and understand, Bonham's was purchased by a Japanese company sometime in 2018 and their auctions have gone downhill since then. Probably due at least partly to an incredibly poor marketing department who barely did any advertising whatsoever. Julian's isn't much better and is actually worse as I notice even less advertising from them and in addition, from reading reviews from consignors online, they don't have the best reputation.
