Nominee for Best Auction House

REA (formerly Robert Edward Auctions), has been a trusted name in the hobby since the early 1990s. Known for its specialty in vintage baseball cards, sports memorabilia, and Americana, REA is a fixture on the high-end auction calendar.

In 2024, REA’s catalogs featured headline sales - including pre-war rarities fetching six-figure prices - reinforcing its strength in vintage realms. With a robust schedule of seasonal and monthly auctions, bolstered by digital catalogs and outreach along with its Fixed Price Marketplace that was launched in March 2025, REA consistently draws a broad, engaged bidder base.

By prioritizing consignor relationships, transparent practices, and authenticity, REA has sustained a collector-centered reputation. Its combination of historical expertise and evolving digital access positions it among the hobby’s most admired and enduring auction firms.
