"With the majority of illustrations and set design drawings from films I'd worked on donated to a New York City museum, I found that I was overwhelmed with additional memorabilia that was consuming a disproportionate amount of our living space. I also thought that fans would like to have a share of these collectibles equal to those that are held in museums. Brian and Joe helped me get these items into the hands of those who have enjoyed the films over the years."

I want to thank you and the rest of the wonderful staff at Profiles for a very successful auction for me! I couldn't believe some of the prices realized for my pieces, WOW! Especially the Bat Girl Belt Buckle. Please give my best to your staff and tell them I look forward to many more successful auctions with you. Cheers! Your friend,

Profiles In History has the best clients in the marketplace for their offerings. I exclusively consign with them for all of my auction prop sales, no matter the price point...they are always great to work with and get the sale!

Being a Hollywood historian, I have been consigning my vintage Hollywood artifacts with Profiles in History for over a decade. Not only because of the positive outcome of their auction process, but also because of the individual attention, understanding and professional relationship I have with its knowledgeable staff.

Through the tough times of losing someone very special to us all and dealing with the selling of our assets in order to share the historic creatures created by Stan Winston with the fans we found not just a business partner in the auction and Hollywood memorabilia business but a true friend. The level of professionalism and sensitivity devoted to us combined with the expertise to quickly identify and secure all of our assets was unmatched. Joe Maddalena and the entire team at Profiles In History have proven to not just be focused on the buying and selling of memorabilia but are truly concerned with the preservation of film history.

I have been a serious collector of one-of-a-kind Hollywood artifacts for over 20 years and periodically sell pieces from my collection. As I have experience in using all of the major auction houses, I can confidently say that Profiles In History is always my first resource as I believe that they have the most significant depth of knowledge in the field and can best advise me as to price. I have sold numerous pieces with them over the years and have been extremely pleased with the results. They are wonderful people to deal with and are a unique resource.

My estate sales business occasionally comes across above average Hollywood memorabilia, animation art or U.S. historical items. Certain estate collections contain items that I know that I can't do justice to and need help in selling. Knowing the value, I will consign these pieces to Profiles in History. The highest realized prices are accomplished with a reasonable percentage charged and sold nationally and internationally. This has a tendency to make me look good. It has also delighted many of my clients who enjoy the surprise.

Joe and Profiles have helped me build my prop collection from the ground up. They find the best stuff from the best movies.... wait, no they don't. They stink. They find nothing. Don't look at the catalogue. Don't bid, especially on the Star Wars props I want.

Your exceptional research, accurately describing the importance of each of my items, and your great advertising outreach and promotion, combined to make the prices realized for my collection achieve three times their estimate. No one could do a finer job. Bravo! All praise to Profiles in History. Thanks again.

We have had many dealings with Joe. He and his company have always been extremely helpful and knowledgeable. As if that wasn't enough he gets top dollar for us consistently.
