About the role

Join a globally reaching auction house where every week brings new collections, fresh discoveries, and the chance to put great collectibles in front of bidders around the world.

We are seeking a knowledgeable, personable Consignment Specialist to find, evaluate, and bring in the collectibles that power our live, online, and simulcast auctions. This role focuses on sports memorabilia and cards, trading cards, antique toys and games, pop culture and entertainment memorabilia, and comic books. You will meet with collectors, dealers, and families, recognize what makes a piece special, and guide consignors through the process with honesty and care.

We are looking for someone with real working knowledge of these categories and depth in one or more of them. If you love the hunt, enjoy meeting people, and take pride in earning a consignor's trust, this role is for you.

What you will do
  • Meet with collectors, dealers, families, and estate representatives to evaluate collections in person, by phone, and from photos
  • Identify valuable pieces within large lots and boxes, and spot the standouts others overlook
  • Source and secure new consignments in sports memorabilia and cards, trading cards, antique toys and games, pop culture and entertainment memorabilia, and comic books
  • Explain how selling at auction works, from intake through payout, and set honest expectations with consignors
  • Research condition, grading, authentication, and provenance, and flag reproductions, restoration, and unverified attributions
  • Coordinate pickup, delivery, and intake of consignments, including travel for significant collections
  • Work closely with our cataloging, photography, and marketing team so every item is documented and presented accurately
  • Build relationships across the collecting community and keep a steady pipeline of quality consignments
  • Maintain consignor records and stay in touch with consignors throughout the sale
What we are looking for
  • Strong working knowledge of sports cards and memorabilia, trading cards, antique toys and games, pop culture memorabilia, and comic books
  • Familiarity with grading and authentication standards for cards and comics, and with the documentation behind autographed and game used items
  • Prior experience in an auction house, dealer, collectibles retail, appraisal, or related setting preferred
  • Excellent communication and people skills, with the warmth to work with consignors during sentimental moments
  • A commitment to honest disclosure of condition, repairs, and what can and cannot be verified
  • Strong research and organizational skills
  • Comfortable handling, lifting, and moving collections, boxes, and objects
  • Reliable transportation and willingness to travel for consignments
Work Culture and Growth

We are a tight knit, growing team with a culture that values individual strengths, shared support, and serving our consignors with excellence. Every day brings something new, with rare objects, fascinating stories, and the reward of presenting them to the world.

As our business expands, this position offers room to develop into leadership roles or deeper specialty expertise.
