The upcoming online auction presents 650 lots, and the majority are offered with no reserve. Bidding is open now, or you can participate live on Thursday, March 26, 2026. Lots will begin to close at 5:00pm, CDT, and the sale accepts both absentee bids and real-time bids through three digital platforms.

This general auction encompasses a wide range of categories: gold and silver jewelry; silver & gold coins and bullion; video games and game consoles; art and art glass; adult collectible cards; sports cards and autographed collectibles—many with COAs; as well as collectible comics and books. The catalog includes watches, militaria, vintage toys and additional estate items. Preview opportunities and contact details are provided for in-person inspection prior to the sale.

What the schedule means for bidders
When many related lots are presented back to back, the auction’s velocity increases—hence the 100 – 120 lots per hour estimate. If you are targeting multiple pieces within the same block, consider using absentee bids to secure items you cannot watch live, or prepare to place real-time bids on one of the supported platforms to stay competitive during the live run. The auction format is optimized for remote engagement but preserves traditional timed lot closings.
Preview, pickup and local retail reference
In-person inspection is scheduled for March 26, 2026, 1:00 – 4:00pm, and additional viewings are available by appointment at 847-625-0555. The preview window allows hands-on inspection of jewelry, coins, consoles and collectible cards, helping buyers assess condition and confirm authenticity. If you need to coordinate a private review, call the provided number to arrange a time outside the public preview. The listing emphasizes that many autographed items include COAs, which supports provenance and buyer confidence.
For local collectors seeking brick-and-mortar resources, note a nearby hobby shop: Bricks & Minifigs at 4235 IL-159, Ste 2A, Glen Carbon, IL 62034, open daily with hours 10:00 AM – 7:00 PM. That store can be a useful stop for parts, figure swaps or pre-auction research on market values for toys and related items. Combining online auction research with in-person store visits can sharpen bidding strategies and sizing expectations.
Final tips for bidders
Before participating, verify platform registration, review lot descriptions and condition reports, and set a bidding plan given the no reserve nature of most lots—remember that no reserve means an item will sell to the highest valid bid regardless of minimum price. Have payment and shipping preferences sorted ahead of time to expedite post-sale processing. With clear timing, published lot ranges and both in-person preview and phone support at 847-625-0555, bidders are equipped to act decisively in this wide-ranging online auction.
