From Confederate notes to Federal Reserve issues, obsolete bank notes to foreign currency, we appreciate the artistry and history captured in paper money. Condition is paramount in this field, and we're careful to accurately assess and preserve every piece.
Paper currency is particularly sensitive to condition issues. We assess for folds, tears, stains, repairs, and other factors that affect value. We can also facilitate PMG grading for significant pieces.

Books represent some of the most enduring collectibles, with value derived from age, rarity, condition, and significance. We handle everything from incunabula to modern first editions, with attention to the details that matter to serious collectors.
We use standard antiquarian book grading terminology (Fine, Near Fine, Very Good, Good, Fair, Poor) and provide detailed condition notes including dust jacket status, binding integrity, and any flaws.

Retro gaming has grown from nostalgic hobby to serious collecting field. We deal in vintage games, consoles, and accessories, with particular attention to complete-in-box items, sealed games, and rare variants.

Vintage electronics represent the rapid evolution of technology over the past century. From early computing equipment to classic audio gear, we appreciate both the historical significance and the craftsmanship of these pieces.
We note the working condition of electronic items and can advise on restoration possibilities. Some collectors prefer original, untouched pieces while others value fully functional examples.

Ephemera—items originally intended to be discarded—often provide the most intimate glimpse into history. We deal in a wide range of paper collectibles that document everyday life, significant events, and cultural moments.
Paper ephemera requires careful handling and storage. We can advise on preservation and can provide items in appropriate archival materials.

Exonumia encompasses numismatic items that aren't official currency—tokens, medals, badges, and related pieces. These items often have fascinating histories and can be more affordable entry points into numismatic collecting.
Exonumia often requires specialized research to properly identify and attribute. We maintain references for token and medal identification and can help determine the significance of unusual pieces.
We're always interested in expanding our expertise. If you have items outside these categories, reach out—we may still be able to help or can refer you to a specialist.
