• Vacheron Constantin “Do better if possible and that is always possible” In 1755, the oldest of the Luxury Watch Holy Trinity brands was founded in Geneva by independent watchmaker, Jean-Marc Vacheron. As did many early watch companies, Vacheron began working primarily on building and producing clocks and pocket watches. In 1810, Jacques Barthelemy Vacheron took over the family business. In 1819, he forged a partnership with Francois Constantin. The duo’s focus and determination produced positive results and by the 1830’s they were opening sales outlets worldwide. Constantin, a shrewd businessman, had an uncanny knack for locating lucrative, new markets. As a result of his indefatigable travel for over three decades, the company rapidly gained presence and prestige in the market. Vacheron and Constantin were always striving for perfection and constant improvement. An early business letter, sent by Constantin to Vacheron in 1819, contained the inspirational phrase, “Do better if possible and that is always possible.” The immortal words would soon become and remain the official company motto.

  • Ken Griffey Jr Bronze LE Signed w/ HOF 16 Inscription 1/1 Funko Pop What is the name of that company that produces those cute, unique little vinyl toys called Funko Pops? You guessed it, Funko is the name! Producing toys celebrating pop culture figurines, mainly fantasy characters, is the brainchild of Snohomish, Washington resident and t-shirt designer Mike Becker who cooked up the idea in 1998 as a result of his fascination with the Bob’s Big Boy burger franchise pop culture mascot. Mike purchased the Bob’s license and Funko was born! So what makes these little guys so popular? There are all kinds of opinions on that question but one fan nailed it when she said: Funko Pops have a deliberately engineered “awwww” factor. Simply stated, Pops are irresistible and adorable! A myriad of companies produce fictional characters in the forms of figurines, dolls and toys, but Pops are the ones that consumers most crave! As for the collectability of these little guys, the Freddy Funko Boba Fett released in 2014 as a San Diego Comic Con Exclusive, sold for a cool $6,000.00!

  • Expressionist Artist - Egon Schiele - Did he go too far? “His work is disturbing, grotesque, erotic and even pornographic!” This is the way in which some art critics have portrayed the oeuvre of Austrian artist Egon Schiele (1890-1918). His focus was mainly on portraits of himself and others as well as nudes. Renowned artist Gustav Klimt saw such promise in Schiele’s talents that he agreed to mentor young Egon. Klimt himself purchased Egon’s drawings and even exchanged some of his own works for his protege’s. Klimt sometimes arranged models for him and frequently introduced Egon to potential buyers. Although Schiele was greatly influenced by his mentor, as can be seen in many of his earlier works, he soon developed his own definitive style. Schiele is comparable to comedian Lenny Bruce in that he suffered at the hands of the law for his controversial work. Schiele was once found guilty of “exhibiting erotic drawings” and given prison time . During his time behind bars, Egon created a series of twelve paintings portraying the discomfort of incarceration. A judge once burned one of Egon’s paintings in court! Sadly, Egon and his young pregnant wife were among the victims of the horrific 1918 Spanish influenza pandemic (1918-1920) which killed as many as 100 million people worldwide. Egon was only 28 years old. Interested in selling an item, collection or estate, having it professionally appraised or authenticated?

  • Hideki Matsui, Derek Jeter & Alex Rodriguez NY Yankees 8x10 Photo Even if you don’t call yourself a loyal fan of “the Yanks”, it’s nearly impossible not to respect and be somewhat in awe of the myriad accomplishments of this historic MLB team since their start in 1901. In 40 World Series appearances, the New York Yankees have won an astounding and record setting 27 times. This figure translates to an appearance every 2.7 seasons and a championship every 4 seasons. Between the years 1949-1953, the team won the World Series five times in a row! The St. Louis Cardinals, in second place, have bagged a total of 11 World Series victories. The New York Yankees have captured more titles, including 40 American League pennants, than any other franchise in the four major North American sports leagues! Eleven Yankee managers and forty-four players, including iconic legends Babe Ruth, Joe DiMaggio, Mickey Mantle, Yogi Berra, Lou Gehrig and Whitey Ford, have been inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. Valued at approximately $4 billion, the Yankees are the second highest (NFL Dallas Cowboys are number one) valued sports franchise in the United States.

  • Elvis Presley Personally Owned Black Western Shirt with Paperwork Who would have guessed? The winning online auction bid came in at a whopping $115K! The figure exceeded the auction total of similar items once belonging to John F. Kennedy, John Lennon and Beethoven. According to reliable sources, the Illinois based company MastroNet Inc. has experienced great success selling similar memorabilia once securely affixed to Mickey Mantle, Neil Armstrong and Che Guevara. Elvis Presley was as well known for his black, lustrous, well-oiled and slicked back pompadour as he was for his swiveling hips and indefatigable ability to mesmerize his female fans. Elvis’ personal barber discovered a once in a lifetime opportunity. Rather than sweeping up and disposing of it, he simply collected the hair on the floor following the King of Rock’n’Roll’s frequent haircuts. He then offered the King’s tresses to the highest bidder. Yes, the item referred to at the beginning of this blog that sold in auction for $115K, was in fact a lock of Elvis’ hair! Simply ingenious!

  • 1956 Herman Miller Eames Lounge Chair w Swivel Ottoman “The Holy Grail of Furniture” Did you know? The husband and wife team of Charles and Bernice Alexandra “Ray” Eames, made furniture design history with their iconic Eames Lounge Chair (1956). The duo also made quite a splash in the fields of industrial and graphic design, fine art and even film! For over four decades (1943-1988) the former California based Bay Cities Garage operated as the Eames Office producing both functional and artistic furniture designs. The Eames partnership pioneered new technologies including fiberglass furniture, plastic resin chairs as well as innovative designs featuring wire mesh. The Eames Office was a truly diversified workplace that made it a point to hire locals, veterans and housewives. In the 1940s, the dynamic couple designed and built the groundbreaking Eames House, located on a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean, as their home. The structure, consisting of pre-fabricated steel and glass parts, was erected in just days and is still regarded as a milestone in modern architecture. The Eameses are also credited with the production of 125 short films (1950-1982). Charles and Ray, in 1979, were presented with the prestigious Royal Gold Medal from the Royal Institute of British Architects. Original examples of the Eames Team’s designs are still among the most highly sought after and collected items in the furniture category.

  • Tips and Tricks on Becoming A Collector Image: Andy Warhol Superman Screenprint 1. Decide on what you would like to collect by discovering what you’re drawn to. Do you already have a passion for a certain genre of collectibles? Do you keep looking at the same type of items when you ‘play’ on eBay? (be honest, we all play on eBay sometimes) 2. Research! Learn all you possibly can about your chosen area by Googling articles, watching videos, checking out books from the library and (best of all) visiting locations where you can get to know dealers that share a passion for the type of items you are collecting. As Matt Bevin says, “I would encourage you: be informed because knowledge is power.” Become well-educated about whatever you decide to collect. 3. Collectors of similar items often know each other. Get to know as many people as you can who collect, buy and trade in the items you collect. Visit shows, antique shops, auctions, swap meets and maybe even consider joining a club or association! 4. Don’t be impulsive or in a hurry when you are looking for items to fatten up your collection. Do your research and find out if the item is truly a good deal or simply over-priced. 5. Again, when searching for items to expand your collection, don’t always be so quick to buy. Go for quality, not quantity. Small, quality collections will always increase in value and ultimately be more enjoyable than larger collections with lower-grade pieces.

  • Shaun White Signed Winter Olympics Snowboarding 8x10 Photo Did you know? They call him “The Flying Tomato” due to his signature red hair. Having become a global sensation, Shaun White has significantly widened the world audience for snowboarding with his unforgettable, stellar Olympic “gold medal” performances. His mom and dad entertained dreams of Shaun (he was named after pro surfer Shaun Tomson) becoming a world renowned surfer, but that was not to be.

  • Caddyshack Cast Signed 24x36 Movie Poster Murray, Chase, Morgan, Ramis, O' Keefe, Dangerfield, Holcomb, Knight The residents of Charleston, South Carolina refer to him as the “unofficial mayor” of their beloved coastal town. He is the proud father of six sons. Hunter S. Thompson almost drowned him! Rumor has it that he’s worth a cool $140 million, though he probably couldn’t care less! Instead of dealing with bothersome Hollywood agents, this mythical man utilizes an automated 800 number and monitors it (occasionally) for movie and other job offers. Yeah, we are talkin’ here about Bill ‘fuckin’ Murray! We all, and I do mean all, know and love this guy who has given us unforgettable, side-splitting performances in comedy classics such as Caddyshack, Meatballs, Kingpin, Where the Buffalo Roam, Ghostbusters, Groundhog Day, Stripes, What About Bob and most recently, American film director and producer Jim Jarmusch’s, The Dead Don’t Die. Wild Bill Murray got his start on Saturday Night Live which led to his first Emmy Award and believe me, the 68 year-old superstar has shown no signs of slowing down anytime soon. One of mischievous Bill’s favorite things to do is to drop in unannounced on regular folk’s get togethers like weddings, parties and even an occasional bar mitzvah! Bill has four residences, but spends most of his time in his Charleston, SC home.

  • How to Spot Valuable Art at Thrift Stores Common sense tips for spotting valuable art at thrift stores, flea markets, garage sales and other odd places! - Look for pieces created by recognizable artists by familiarizing yourself with their works and signatures - Look for prints that are part of limited edition runs (numbers on them that indicate how many copies exist and which copy you have) - Stick to larger pieces (generally more popular with the buying public) as opposed to smaller prints and paintings - Look for paintings, prints and photographs with high-quality framing jobs (often an indication of a valuable piece) - Look for the artist’s signature on the front or back of the piece. A painting that doesn’t have a signature is most likely, but not always, a print or facsimile. - Utilize a magnifying glass to check for printers dots. (an indication that you are looking at a repro or laser printing) - Check oil paintings to be sure they have texture (surface paint waves, brush strokes and or bumps) - Check frames (front and back) for indications of age (sometimes the frame will yield more information about authenticity than the work itself) - Take a photo of the piece/signature and upload it into Google Images (reverse image searches at https://reverse.photos) and see what you can discover Never forget that discoveries of valuable art in thrift stores, flea markets and even garage sales by savvy and sharp-eyed pickers have yielded thousands and even millions of dollars!

  • Original 1964 G.I. Joe Figurine by Hasbro Did you know? The original idea and design, for what was to become the G.I. Joe craze that swept the country beginning in 1964, was created in 1963 by Stan Weston, a Manhattan licensing agent, and passed on to Hasbro executive Donald Levine who purchased the rights for a mere $100,000! It was originally assumed that boys would never play with dolls and parents would never buy their sons dolls so the word “doll” was purposely avoided in the developing and marketing process. Dolls for boys became “action figures” overnight. Before the universal name G.I. Joe was adopted, the original prototypes for Joe were named Rocky (marine/soldier), Skip (sailor) and Ace (pilot). The initial line released in 1964 consisted of representatives of four of the branches of the U.S. armed forces (Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps) and later on, the Action Nurse. Since the original Joe hit the market in 1964, the fervor has not let up! Since his release, Joe has continued to evolve and find new homes in comics, films, television, books, video games and so much more! A hand-carved G.I. Joe original prototype fetched a whopping $200,000 in a 2008 auction held at Comic-Con in San Diego! The prototype was the most valuable action figure ever sold.

  • Patek Philippe 18K Yellow Gold Annual Calendar Moonphase 5036/1J Men's Watch The prestigious Swiss luxury watch company, Patek Philippe (pronounced pa-tek • fee-leep), saw its beginnings in 1839 in Geneva with the partnership of watchmaker Antoni Patek and Franciszek Czapek. As a result of ongoing disagreements, the two separated and the company was dissolved in 1845. Patek joined forces with watchmaker Adrien Philippe and in 1851 the two became Patek, Philippe & Cie (Company). Patek Philippe, in 1868, designed the first Swiss wristwatch. The Countess Koscowicz of Hungary was the recipient of that historic timepiece. Since 1932, Patek Phillipe has been owned by the Swiss Stern family. Its current president, Thierry Stern, proudly proclaims to the world that in order to guarantee high quality and exclusivity, Patek Philippe purposely limits the number of products manufactured yearly by only 1-3 percent per year!  In a list of the top ten most expensive watches ever sold at auction as of 2018, seven are Patek Philippes. The most expensive watch ever sold at auction worldwide is the Patek Phillipe Henry Graves Supercomplication. It sold in Geneva for a record-setting $24 million in 2014 at Sotheby’s Geneva Auction!  Notable Patek Philippe timepiece owners have included Leo Tolstoy, Pope Pius lX,  Albert Einstein, John F. Kennedy, Pablo Picasso, Nelson Mandela, Queen Victoria and Queen Elizabeth ll. FYI: The production of a single watch movement’s components at Patek Philippe involves 1,200 to 1,500 individual steps and 1,035 employees are involved in the production of 1 timepiece!  As their company slogans states: “You never actually own a Patek Philippe. You merely look after it for the next generation.” Interested in selling an item or collection, having it appraised and/or authenticated?

  • 1.7 Million Dollar 1943-D 1C Bronze Wheat Penny Most people today won’t make the effort to pick up a penny when they spot one on a sidewalk or street. Well, here is why that could be a mistake. A 1943 Lincoln penny recently sold in auction for a whopping $1.7 million! The wartime penny is valuable for two reasons; it was mistakenly created and there are only 40 examples known to exist! The story goes that during World War ll, it was decided to conserve copper by minting pennies out of zinc-coated steel. Apparently some copper-alloy blanks were mistakenly left in the press hopper and an estimated 40 (only 12 are accounted for) 1943 copper pennies were unknowingly produced and released to the public. The rarity and value of the penny unfortunately makes it a favorite among counterfeiters looking to make a dishonest buck. By coating steel pennies with copper as well as altering the dates of 1945, 1948 and 1949 cents, counterfeiters have deceived and given false hope to many unsuspecting buyers. Actually, identifying a fake is very simple. All you need is a magnet and a scale. If your 1943 penny is attracted to the magnet, it is not copper! Also, copper cents weigh 3.11 grams, steel cents only 2.70 grams. Interested in selling an item or collection, having it appraised and/or authenticated?

  • Pair of Tiffany & Co. Solid 18K Yellow Gold Sapphire Dog Cufflinks There are those unique fashion accessories that are so powerful and established over time that they never seem to disappear from fashion runway shows entirely. Cufflinks are a perfect example! Why, because cufflinks, simply stated, are classy! Always have been, always will be. Like bowties, suspenders and fedoras, they will never completely go away. Cufflinks are, in addition to being a bold statement of elegance and style, an extremely versatile accessory. The right man can boldly wear a powder blue vintage Versace French cuff shirt with Tiffany gold and diamond or platinum cufflinks along with distressed jeans and even, if he dares, shorts and leather OluKai flip-flops. It’s always kind of a low-grade shock as well as a pleasant surprise when you inadvertently spot a casual cufflink wearer. I’ve seen candid photos of actor, musician and Hollywood fashion icon Jeff Goldblum sporting cufflinks with an otherwise casual outfit. The cufflinks - they just pop! I mean, seriously, if Jeff Goldblum thinks cufflinks are de rigueur - well… Interested in selling an item or collection, having it appraised and/or authenticated?

  • David Bowie Signed Aladdin Sane Album Cover W/ Vinyl Record Did you know? The first vinyl record was produced in 1931 and featured the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra performing Beethoven’s Fifth. That same year RCA Victor introduced the vinyl 33 1/3 RPM LP. Unfortunately the idea fell flat on its face landing right in the middle of the Great Depression. Seventeen years later, Columbia Records produced the first commercially available 33 1/3 LP. This time the idea stuck! Records have continued to rapidly evolve in quality, variety, availability and public appeal (multicolored, glow in the dark and glitter records are just a few of the innovative ideas that have hit the market)! Collectors of vinyl can be found in every nook and cranny worldwide. An unnamed billionaire in Brazil has over six million records in his personal collection! As far as collectible value of vinyl goes, it depends on a plethora of factors such as condition, rarity, sound quality and the record’s subject. The most expensive record ever sold is a 2015 album by Wu-Tang Clan: Once Upon a Time in Shaolin (only one copy exists). The buyer paid a staggering $2 million. Undoubtedly the most renowned vinyl, on or off the Earth, are the two copper record albums that rode along on the Voyager 1 and 2 spacecrafts. Musical selections from different cultures as well as greetings from Earth in fifty-five languages were included on the records!

  • Original Rebecca (1940) Alfred Hitchcock 6mm Feature Film Did you know? So here is an off-screen crime committed against one of the greatest film makers of all time. As unbelievable as it may sound Alfred Hitchcock was nominated for five Oscars for Best Director but never won one! In addition to that, sixteen of his films were nominated for an Oscar but only Rebecca (for Best Picture), was successful in winning one!. The “Master of Suspense” was once quoted in an interview as saying, “I’m frightened of my movies. I never go to see them. I don’t know how people can bear to watch my movies!” Well, bear it they did! Psycho, released in 1960 and considered to be his most widely regarded film, earned “Hitch” a whopping $15 million, which adjusted for inflation is around $120 million today! Strangers on a Train, Dial M for Murder, Rear Window, To Catch a Thief, The Man Who Knew Too Much, Vertigo, North by Northwest, The Birds - the list of Hitchcock masterpieces is seemingly endless! Just a few months before his death in 1980, a knighthood was bestowed upon him in when he was appointed a Knight Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth ll.

  • Frank Sinatra Signed B&W Photo Did you know? The members of the original Rat Pack were a group of close-knit friends, namely Errol Flynn, Nat King Cole, Mickey Rooney, Jerry Lewis and Caesar Romero with their leader being none other than Humphrey Bogart! The origin of the moniker, Rat Pack, is something of a mystery but most are convinced it can be attributed to Lauren Bacall. Bogie and Lauren lived in a neighborhood called Holmby Hills and their group of celebrity friends were often referred to as the Holmby Hills Rat Pack. Later the name stuck to the group we traditionally call the Rat Pack; Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Peter Lawford and Joey Bishop. Opened in 1952, the Copa Room at the Sands Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip was considered the Rat Pack’s clubhouse and home. When a member would do a show the other loyal members would show up and do an impromptu performance! It was no surprise that once audiences caught on to this possible ‘WOW’ event, they began packing the casino. The Sands marquee often read: Tonight Dean Martin, Maybe Frank, Maybe Sammy. The ‘Pack’ recorded five live albums together, including the hugely popular 1960 “The Rat Pack Live at the Sands”. The movie “Oceans Eleven”, released in 1960, was the first movie all five members appeared in together. Interested in selling an item or collection, having it appraised and/or authenticated?
