Did you know that if you have the right kind of collection, we can do
a single auction of just YOUR items?
Over the years, we have had many long time collectors consign a
collection to us that was of one type or on one theme, and we have
often used those consignments to form the nucleus of a section of one
of our major auctions. Until 2016 we had always supplemented such
consignments with other consignments of the same type or theme, and
that had always worked out quite well.
But in December 2016, French dealer Dominique Besson consigned his
wonderful collection of U.S. one-sheets to us, and he asked that we
auction it all on one day, and that we NOT include other consignments
of one-sheets with it. We agreed, and the auction was a great success,
with the 993 folded one-sheets selling for $292,562.00 (see all the
results HERE:
http://www.emovieposter.com/agallery/date/2016-12-08/sort/4/archive.html
[1]).
And over the years since, we have had LOTS of these special auctions,
including most notably THREE giant auctions of limited edition Mondo
art prints (two of which came from the personal collection of Alamo
Drafthouse/Mondo founder, Tim League) and all of these special
auctions of all kinds have proven to be very successful, both for the
consignors AND for the buyers who were able to add great rarities to
their collections!
Why have lots of collectors kept approaching us to do this? There are
two main reasons. One is that they get ALL those items auctioned in a
single day! If someone were to consign, say 1,000 single lobby cards
to us to include with our regular auctions, we could include around
100 to 200 of them each time we auction single lobby cards (because we
have lots of them from other consignors, and we have to be fair to
everyone), and since we do an auction of single lobby cards once each
month on average, that means it would take five to ten months for us
to auction those 1,000 single lobby cards.
But when they are in their own special auction, we can do auction them
all in a single day, and for many collectors, they are auctioning
their items to raise money and that faster selling time is a big plus
for them.
The other reason a collector might want a single auction of only their
items is that doing it that way insures there is a permanent online
display of their collection (as you can see at the links above). Many
collectors assembled their collection thinking they would someday
publish a book showing it, but the publishing business has been
decimated by the Internet the past decade, and it is unlikely a
collector could find a publisher for their collection.
But by having a single auction of only their items, there IS a great
online record of their collection, so this too is a real incentive to
want to have such an auction.
So if YOU think you might have the makings of a single auction of only
your items, please contact me (Bruce) right away, and if I agree, we
can schedule it soon, and in just a few months you can have that
collection sold, the proceeds in your pocket, and have the permanent
online record of your collection.
But it has to make financial sense for us to do it, and it has to be
the right kind of collection. If you are wanting a single "regular"
auction, your items MUST have a realistic minimum selling price of
$100,000. If you are wanting a single section of a "major" auction,
then your items MUST have a realistic minimum over selling price of
$300,000.
And it also depends on what type of items you have. If it is a
collection entirely based on a single star, then it is likely you will
not get better results by auctioning all the items at once, because
you run the risk of "flooding" the market.
But let's talk! There is NO other auction that could possibly even
consider undertaking this, and of course even if they could, they
would not do nearly as well a job as we will. The ONLY thing you have
to do is get your collection to us, and we do all the rest!
