Greatest Hits: Last Week @ The Auction
Updated: Aug 4, 2020
Where have you been?
Perhaps you live under an AUCTION ROCK, or a bridge, for the Trolls out there, that have spent their quarantine time, shaming stuff. But I ask you, The Auction Fans & Collectors of the World, "have you been missing out on America’s Hottest Auction YouTube Series, LAST WEEK AT THE AUCTION?"
It has been called, "Entertainingly Educational,” “Great for the industry," and my favorite, "Josh Sucks!" Can't please everybody, but I am deep in to filming season two and figured I'd do a Best of Season 1 Post to bring you all up to speed and put all these great results in 1 place. If you are already a fan and watching, this will be a great recap. If you are in the business, you will see all the exposure the show has already brought to the industry. Season One has had over 100,000 Views! Season 2 is on track to shatter that! (SUBSCRIBE HERE FOR FREE) or Watch Commercial Free on My Website Site. (VIDEO LINK)
So, I give you "The Best of Last Week at the Auction Season 1"...and my personally favorites. Let’s say what I find to be the most intriguing Auction Results from around the globe, or at least North America. Al have been as hand selected (or mouse selected) by me, Josh Levine, your host and guide to the world of auctions...Thank you again for making this America’s Hottest Auction You Tube Series and a complete Social Media Sensation.
Thanks to this series, I have 100s of new Facebook followers and have been hit on several times on Instagram and....Tumblr...no one...crickets? Must be my conservative face.
Well, we have a lot to cover. So here it is, my BEST OF Last Week at the Auction SEASON 1...with Pretty Pictures.

I love little bizarre things, so I had to feature a Pair of Salesman Sample Coffins that sold for $325.
How about a Reproduction Smilen Sam From Alabam that Rentzel's Auction Service in York PA sold for $475.00? Amazing for a repop! (right)
An adorable Cast Iron Turtle Law Sprinkler brought $575 at Hartzells in Bangor Pa. And hi to the gang at Hartzell’s...Eastern PA is my old stomping ground. (above)
Porcelain Signs are always a hit so no surprise, a Sherwin Williams Sign sold for $650 at Chupp Auctions Shipshewana, IN (lower left)
And here, a rising local celebrity Auctioneer, Robert Haynes of Monarch Auctions sold an Artmark Lady Head Vase for $700. Only at auction...(below)
A pair of Early Handmade Baseball Catcher's Masks brought $850 at Slotin Folk Art Auction in Buford Ga. I was a catcher back in the day (insert your jokes....) But seriously.... looking at a fastball from behind one of these must have been terrifying. (above)
