Not too many auction houses have their hands in mostly all types of memorabilia but we specialize in all of the memorabilia subjects. We deal in the Big 5 of memorabilia — movie memorabilia, music memorabilia, Presidential memorabilia, space memorabilia & sports memorabilia. Authentication is most important to us as there are many memorabilia fakes out there. Second most important is obtaining top dollar for consignors. Third thing is to gain international publicity for these items.
Movie Memorabilia
Merriam-Webster states that the first mention of memorabilia was in 1785. But, the memorabilia marketplace including memorabilia auctions like we have didn’t really gain steam until very recently. The auction markets were mostly dominated with art & antiques not memorabilia. Just in the last 2 years, we have sold almost $10 million dollars worth of just memorabilia. In our November auction, we had a huge selection of Bruce Lee memorabilia consigned by the son of Bruce Lee’s close friend and student, Herb Jackson. We sold a great bunch of these Bruce Lee memorabilia items in our October auction.
To search our prices realized for tens of millions of dollars worth of memorabilia and autographs sold by us, please click here. The items mentioned above are just the best items we have sold. Many other one-of-a-kind pieces of memorabilia have been sold.
We are the only MONTHLY memorabilia auction meaning consignors get paid up to 5 or more months faster than the competition, of course, on top of the highest prices realized in the hobby. We give large cash advances interest free and without an additional loan fee unlike our competitors. Also, we are the only auction in the business with certain clients who pay more. See https://natedsanders.com/auctionresults.aspx. Almost all newly listed memorabilia items sell without many passes like the competition. No one promotes consignors items like we do. Not only do we get publicity in top media including international key media like the BBC, but we have been ON THE FRONT PAGES of sites like CNN and Fox News which almost always translates into items selling for double or triple versus had we not received the free exposure. See https://natedsanders.com/inthenews.aspx. Plus, the upcoming Christmas auction always obtains the highest prices of the year. Lastly, we accept reserves. With all of these advantages, we obtain the consignor at least tens of thousands dollars more than anywhere else when you are selling memorabilia. Here is an anecdote from this weekend. In August, a potential consignor phoned us with a tablet Oscar award that we consistently get $100,000 for. See https://natedsanders.com/inthenews.aspx. We have sold 30 Oscars in the past 2 years. The person decided to NOT GO WITH US and put the Oscar up for auction in a Beverly Hills film memorabilia auction. The consignor was reassured with the $80,000 – $100,000 estimate the auction house put on his Oscar. However, the Academy Award sold for just below $23,000 including the buyer’s premium, where the consignor should net less than $15,000. With us, it was a sure thing that he would have netted $55,000 more.
