Start times all five days are 8 am Pacific. "This sale will make collectors even hotter than they were before the air conditioning got turned on," said Fred Holabird, owner of Holabird Western Americana Collections. "The sale is full of 'hot stuff' and features some of the best collections in their genre offered publicly in a long time. Two of the major collections are Western in origin."

The first centers around Arizona and Colorado ephemera, to include 19^th century photos and documents related to major mining camps, supplemented by gorgeous oil paintings of Native American and western scenes by Douglas Rosa. The framed cabinet card photo of prostitute "Amelia" (in classic prostitute attire) with her business license, should go for $5,000-$10,000.

Added to this is a major collection related to the Mexican War and Pancho Villa, including the photo-diary by Arizona photographer Walter Horne, plus three books on the Mexican Revolution (estimate: $25,000-$50,000). The militaria section is equally phenomenal, highlighted by Gen. Custer's holster and gun belt, accompanied by a lengthy history (estimate: $60,000-$90,000).
