A shout out to Great Collections

I consigned 3 coins to Great Collections at the ANA in OKC. They were auctioned on September 21. I was happy with the results. I received the check today after only 8 days! I have bought and sold coins from they in the past and will do so again.

GC has been really good to me as well. They get the checks out really fast. Ian and his team do a first class job and just get it done. Andy was great teaching me the process. What I really love is their consignment form. Short and simple and easy to understand. I always worry I'll mess up the form but so far no problems.
I sell all my dupes there. A++++
I remember when @ianrussell was just getting GC off the ground. He was everywhere hustling his rear end off. IIRC one of the biggest early sales was a monster toned Silver Eagle that went for $20,000+ or something along those lines. I remember them getting off the ground with a lot of bullion type material in the very early days.
What he and his team have built from scratch is truly, truly impressive imho. They’ve turned themselves into a tier one asset for the hobby.
Best auction house there is in my opinion.

GC is excellent especially for someone like me who can drop coins off there. Their pictures are better than ever and they’re cutting checks with lightning speed.
And the amazing photos by @PhilArnold are an added bonus to their outstanding customer service and results!

Best auction house around in my opinion... Class act and honest
The court jester does not play, but gently pulls the strings…
I just auctioned off 14 coins with GC for the first time and was also very happy with the results. I received and deposited the check 5 days after the auction closed.
With Phil's excellent photography, it's also a great site for cherry picking.
1855/54 WB-2 PCGS XF45 - the label was corrected by PCGS, and it was sold for $200 profit.
I can attest to their services as well. I have five pieces there presently and look forward to the end result. @ianrussell has a fantastic company and lots of respect for @PhilArnold for his imagery talent.

Awesome service and best pics in the biz! Highly recommended!
I didn't know they were so swift with the checks of late. The GreatViews are an excellent touch - I presume the new owner of my collection of french sowers is already pleased with his purchases since I received removal requests the night the auction ended.
+1 for GC, long time fan.
I love the French Sower! It's one of my favorite devices on a coin. I wish I had known of your auctions.
I loved shooting those Sowers. Looks like the winner is pleased, too:

GC=Doing things right. PS @PhilArnold = Best photos in the business!
They are also ve5ry quick shippers when I win a coin. Compared to other auction houses their shipping charges are very fair. Kepp it up Ian.
Ian, Andy and Ben are great and a pleasure to deal with!!

Agree with all the positives, I have 2 current groups, one pending and one in next couple of weeks.
Ian treats customers like old friends. Great respect. Used GC 7-8 times and will continue to do so. Not a single complaint.

Nothing but great things to say about Great Collections, big fan here!
I've bought only about 20 items through GC to date, but without fail, the coins arrive in three days or less and are well-packaged.
Casual collector slowly building a collection....
They are Great Photos but wait until someone comes along and has Superior Photos.
Have consigned some coins to GC over the past year; in fact I have 10 of them up for auction now. I'm good with the results too.
Adding Phil to do the photos was a massive step forward and upward.

GC has been fantastic for me. Highly recommend them.
Got my most recent auction check from them in 9 days. Great service.
Nothing but good things to say about GC and Ian. Have purchased low end samples and up to a $46K gold piece from them and pieces/prices in between - always helpful and friendly.
I sent in several low value coins recently, almost embarrassed to do so! Nothing but great service and prompt payment.
Will likely drop off some better material for them at FUN.
I confess, GC is the best. I had a coin I paid $28 for go for $1294 this year at GC. Very basic coin, but they did a Great Photo as they did all of my Mercs (n=76), and super strong results…………. Easily, the best images for any auction house, means value…………………….. And exposure. The 2 combined means best possible result. And of course does not hurt to have one of the two best numismatic photographers in existence (the other being @messydesk). Getting Phil was an incredible and brilliant move by Ian. We all benefit……………………………………..
Great to buy on, great to sell on!
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
Hey if it takes 3 days from day of the auction, it is late by GC standards. Blame the post office not them…………..
I have been busy and I am sure Ian at GC has been too, but he even reached out to me to get more information on mentioning Fortin Top 100 references in future auctions. I don't know whether or not this will happen but I do know it was taken into consideration. I am just a humble collector, I can't sell or buy expensive coins and I have no impressive credentials; yet even my input is weighed. James
