Knowledge and Experience
At Classic Auctions, we pride ourselves on the quality and integrity of the items we sell. With over 75 years of cumulative experience in the collectibles and sports memorabilia domain, we stand behind every item we sell.
It is a given that every successful, high-end auction house is made up of knowledgeable and experienced staff including auction managers, writers, researchers and photographers. Where we at Classic Auctions stand out from the rest is simple: we know hockey better.
We love the game; we obsess over its history and memorabilia and we revere the legends and icons who have elevated this sport from a modest pond activity, to the paramount sporting spectacle loved throughout the world.
Our team is better equipped than any other auction house to properly photo-match and authenticate memorabilia to specific events and important timelines, thus maximizing value and providing accurate documentation. Photo (and video) matching is the most efficient, respected and conclusive authentication process in the industry.
