This iteration of the company had its first sale in January 2013. The goal was to offer rare Western collectibles to collectors of all ages and pocketbooks, from those just beginning to advanced lifelong collectors and premier institutions. While many auction houses shied away from selling items under $1,000, Mr. Holabird had his eyes on the future: encouraging beginning collectors was going to be beneficial to the collecting community as a whole in the long run.

"After a decade of operations under this philosophy, we think we have been proven right," Holabird remarked. "We've watched as the pool of collectors grows auction to auction. We love our worldwide network of collectors, dealers, and consignors that have made our company such a success and helped us rebuild many collecting markets. But it's time for me to pass the baton."
