"I am writing to express my great satisfaction at the results of the two auctions of my collection of political Americana. I have devoted a great deal of effort over some 60 years to assembling this collection, and accordingly gave careful consideration to the most effective auction venue. There are several fine auction companies which specialize in this area, any one of which would do a quite competent job of presenting the collection. However, to me the choice was simple. In addition to servicing the established body of collectors who patronize these auctions, Heritage has by its effective use of the internet expanded this market impressively. Those efforts are reflected in the results of own and other recent Heritage Auctions, where I saw numerous objects sell for signficantly outside their predictable price ranges. Overall, the total proceeds from my two auctions were well above my expectations, and I couldn't be more pleased. But equally imprtant was ensuring that the pieces were presented with accurate, and effective cataloging, and here I was also well satisfied. My particular thanks to my longtime friend Tom Slater, who came out of his semi-retirement to assist with the collection, and to his successor as Director of the Americana department, Curtis Lindner, whose expertise and attention to detail were apparent in the cataloging. I would not hesitate to recommend Heritage Auctions to anyone contemplating the sale of important political Americana."
