Many collectors of high end, museum grade collectibles often don’t know where ot go or who to trust for their most desirable collecting needs. As a collector for over 25 years, I understand the frustration of not only locating genuinely rare choice items, but also finding a truly reputable source and/or dealer to buy from. And, most serious collectors have been “burned” at least once or twice, I know I have. But, I also understand that being “burned” was part of the learning process, that I can hopefully share with the rest of the collector community so they don’t have to experience the costly mistakes I made. One of my most "prized" mistakes was a Wizard of OZ book "supposedly"
Conway’s Vintage Treasures web site was created about 5 years ago, and most recently underwent a major redesign. It was a transformation of our very first and less attractive web site, www.autographsmovieposters.com, created 12 years ago. The new site now offers collectors an advanced navigation system search feature, appealing product grid layout, hot topic videos, and an easier checkout system. Visitors can sign up for the Free monthly Newsletter which covers topics like hot selling collectibles, auction results, and monthly promotions of new acquisitions. It’s not only a place for serious collectors to buy but also a great education site for anyone who collects celebrity autographs, vintage movie posters, autographed sports memorabilia, antique fine art oil paintings, memorabilia and collectibles. As a matter, of fact Conway’s just acquired the original “Captain bars” worn by John Wayne in “She Wore a Yellow Ribbon”.
This month the site features a great video highlighting rare memorabilia
Probably the most important concern to a dealer of rare memorabilia is insuring and guaranteeing authenticity. Experience with authenticating memorabilia such as rare autographs is the value a reputable dealer brings to his clients.
Conway’s Vintage Treasures is owned by Kevin Conway, a collector of Vintage Hollywood, Historical & Sports Memorabilia for about 25 years. We pride ourselves with acquiring only the most exclusive, rare collectibles and memorabilia for the “special” collector.
One thing our customers know about us, is that we are fanatical about insuring all of our original treasures are 100% authentic. We go to great lengths authenticating our acquisitions. And, unlike many dealers we don’t sell “everything”
The primary reason we don’t invest in contemporary autographs is many modern day celebrities DON’T sign a name, they scribble, making it virtually impossible to authenticate. Also, modern celebrities don’t have a historical trail of their signing habits. So for example, autograph studies on Tom Cruise are not available. On the other hand, there have been extensive signature studies accomplished on Frank Sinatra, Judy Garland and each President.
