Joe Maddalena and his Profiles in History team of experts are second to none! Their honesty, attention to detail, integrity, knowledge and expert advice go far beyond what any other auction house offers! I highly recommend Joe and his team for your auction needs.

I have been happily immersed in the world of genre collecting over a privileged two decades as best friend and assistant to icon and super-collector, the late Forrest J Ackerman (1916-2007). Being intimately aware of Forry's countless high profile collectibles transactions, I can say with authority that the Profiles in History auction was THE most successful EVER! That's saying a lot considering Forry's previous auctions spanning the course of nearly a century! Profiles, under the guidance of an impeccably seasoned Joe Maddalena, demonstrated not only impressive knowledge of rare objects, art and literature but also an incredible sensitivity to the legacy of Mr. Ackerman. I couldn't be more certain that Forry himself would have been positively thrilled by the experience and the fantastic results of the auction.

Joe, I have to commend you..... each and every of your employees is excellent and that says a lot about you. I have been a client of Profiles in History for many years and they are my favorite auction house on so many levels; their integrity, honesty and personal service and that is why I have chosen them for our major auction.

As someone who appreciates original film props and art, I am very particular with whom I trust when acquiring an important part of movie history. I have dealt with many auction houses and dealers, and just about every time I find something iconic, special, or just plain cool, Profiles in History has been involved. It is always exciting to receive their catalogues a few times a year, and anytime I have had a question, Joe Maddalena, Brian, and Fong are always helpful. Can't wait till 2010!

Over the past 30 years I have done business with over a dozen auction houses, large and small. With none of these have I achieved the quality of results I do with Profiles in History. Joe Maddalena and his superb staff are all true professionals. They are at the top of my list.

As a poster and lobby card collector I have found Profiles in History to be very helpful with both buying and selling. Their unique clientele gives me an opportunity to reach collectors and hobbyists I don't normally reach. Joe and his crew are most professional and very prompt and I highly recommend their services as a premier auction house.

Joe & Brian, First off... WOW!!! and congratulations on a better than expected return on Hollywood 37 all around. Happy to be a part of it. Profiles is the only house that could've brought these kinds of hammer prices. Your acumen with lot assignments, research, and marketing were phenomenal. I couldn't believe my eyes as the numbers got higher on the screen. Very exciting. Joe, Brian, you guys are geniuses. Thank you so much.

My experience with Profiles in History and especially with Brian Chanes was entirely pleasant from beginning to end. The company realized far more for my collectibles than I realized was possible. I heartily recommend Profiles in History.
