I don’t understand why those guys don’t communicate and try to set their respective calendars accordingly.
I think it's pretty well known for two decades now that Heritage does three signature auctions at the end of March, July, and November.
If I was a guy planning my "major" auction, you would think I wouldn't plan my end of year one right after the biggest auction house just sucks $2 million plus out of the pockets of my bidders (or my August one right after theirs in July, etc), but what do I know.
I guess Propstore figured theirs was a full month after the Heritage one, but what's wrong with June? or September, or October?
I know everyone likes to think they are the 800-lb gorilla, or lion, or whatever, but the three HA Signature sales do more money than any other auction house does in their entire year combined, I for sure would try to stay clear of their dates (or at least be out in front of them).
