It’s amazing to me that you can attend an auction and literally become an instant collector. You just need the money. And the space. But seriously, looking over some of the available lots at the upcoming Mecum Indianapolis sale is mind boggling. The collections, ranging from autographs to Chrysler to neons and more, if you were to buy one piece from each, you could be an instant collector. If you had never collected anything before, but one from each collection, you would be known as a collector. Or, add more zing to an already existing collection. Really, it’s kind of crazy, but it’s true. So, if you’ve been thinking of beginning a collection, this auction will be a great place to begin. Or, if you’ve been thinking of adding to your collection, again – this sale will likely be very helpful. See more about it below!
