"He appraised my late father/in-law's baseball collection for his estate. He was timely and professional, and we could tell that he carefully organized every item. He walked us through individually, took pictures, and created a professional packet for the sale. He was also very kind to the fact that my father-in-law was a Veteran. We are so impressed with the work he did and would highly recommend his services for appraisals."
