“I find people buy their memories,” says Joe Maddalena, owner of Profiles in History. “It’s all about fantasy, taking us back to a time, perhaps an event with a long lost relative who took you as a kid to see Star Wars. The baby boomers have come into the spending part of their lives. They have had success and are spenders. They want 50’s, 60’s and 70’s TV collectibles or memorabilia, as this era of TV was such a huge part of our lives.”
Worldwide bidding begins at 11:00am both days. Bids can be placed either in person, via mail, phone, fax or live on the Internet via eBay Live Auctions
