    Al is a good guy and a member of these boards (novocent).
    I have no doubt this will be one of the top auction houses and have already consigned a bunch of items.
    Nice to have an auction house that isn't dishonest with a past history of legal issues.

    Always looking for Topps Salesman Samples, pre '51 unopened packs, E90-2, E91a, N690 Kalamazoo Bats, and T204 Square Frame Ramly's

    Actually, he no LONGER owns the PR firm that produced the REA catalog.

    ...but he is about as good as it gets in this hobby.

    I look forward to his first auction!!

    I have consigned items without hesitation!!

    I'll echo the sentiments of the other guys in saying that Al is truly top notch. If (when) I get around to selling my stuff, he'll be the first guy that I call. Looking forward to their first auction. image

    Yep, Al is top notch.
    Good for you.

    I thought for sure this was going to be about Ken Goldin's new auction venture. lol

    I wonder if Don West is involved.
  • tkd7tkd7 Posts: 1,799 ✭✭
    Al is aces. No hesitation in consigning or bidding with him.
  • SOMSOM Posts: 1,555 ✭✭✭
    If Goldin brings back Don West, I'll consign my entire collection to him!

    I can only dream of how hard West would push, say, this set of mine.

    I concur with everyone else in saying that Al is a great guy. I wouldn't hesitate to consign with him and can't wait for the first auction.

    Best of luck with the new venture!!! image

  • Wow!

    Sorry to revive an old thread, but this one was recently brought to my attention, and I'm just posting here to say thanks, and that yes, there's yet another new auction house (and I do think we're pushing 50). Thank you for the positive comments - it's truly appreciated!

    My name is Al. I've been a member here for a long time, posting under the ID Novocent. To avoid confusion, the kind folks at PSA were nice enough to honor my request to change my ID here to Love of the Game, which is the name of my new auction company.

    You can find us online and register to bid at our auction website, and from there you can also link up to us on Facebook and Twitter. I've been slowly previewing the items in our inaugural auction, which will be October 27. We've got lots of great, high-grade PSA baseball and football (both prewar and postwar), some excellent memorabilia, and some very cool surprises.

    If you've got any questions about the auction, please feel free to ask, or contact me privately..

    Regards,
    -Al

    Al, that was nice of PSA to change your name so to speak. When I first saw the username, I thought you were going to say that some auction company ripped off your trademark. That the way most threads have been going lately, LOL.

    I've been very lazy about registering, but I think I'll get to it before October. Best of luck again!!!

    I - also - want to give my personal AAA stamp of approval of Al's new auction house.

    You won't be disappointed.

    I believe he's trying to bring back the good ole fashioned personal touch to collecting that's missing these days. There'll be hanky panky - just a fair auction where all the bidding's real.

    I recommend you sign up and check out it guys. I rarely endorse anything - I've known Al since I joined CU 8 yrs ago - and in the hobby biz that's "dog years!" imageimageimage

    +1 -- Al is as good as they come, and I've consigned a # of items to his first auction.
    I am actively buying MIKE SCHMIDT gem mint baseball cards. Also looking for any 19th century cabinets of Philadephia Nationals. Please PM with additional details.
