This week on The Great American Collectibles Show, presented by PSA and The National Sports Collectors Convention has Tom Zappala and John Molori are in our Studio 21 Podcast Cafe. Sometimes you need a pinch hitter, sometimes you need two, and we did just that! Chris Nerat of Heritage Auctions steps in for Grady and Provenzale,
and Chris hit it out of the park! We find out what Chris does at Heritage, what he is passionate about with his own personal collection. We do chat about the current auction at HA and what looks hot and even a few good nice finds that can be had for any collector. We do ask some tough questions as well, fractional buying made a bit uncomfortable but he did well with it, we do find out some interesting facts about Chris in relations to the Green Bay Packers. It was great to have Chris on with us, Heritage has a deep lineup of skilled employees, we can't wait to have Chris back with us!
Next up is Lee Behrens of Sterling Sports Auctions, he does eight auctions a year and we are approaching the end of his current offerings and we get into the nitty gritty of this one.
