There were some deals at their last auction. With all of the Wall Street drama there should be steals this round.

Wow, I just looked though the whole catalogue. Not their best auction. Many of the items are readily available and a large percentage of the pieces have been reissued.
Why does Todd Merrill have all the good stuff?
