WE HANDLE COLLECTIONS OF ALL SIZES

Bring in your memorabilia and we’ll help determine its value and the best way to get it in front of the right buyers, right over the  counter. For larger collections, we can travel to you.

Collectibles sellers often shop around with their collections, looking for top dollar offers. Back to the Past Collectibles has a track record of  being the last place people stop, because they find the best options here!

WE SELL COLLECTIBLES

Back to the Past Collectibles is no ordinary comics and collectibles store.

Our Headquarters in Wixom, Michigan handles tens of thousands of items, with a rotating stock that changes every week. We are literally a collectibles warehouse, full of amazing vintage finds, and we bring it all to you via our online sales channels and auction events!

Set up an appointment when you have items to sell, consign or trade and see what’s percolating in our warehouse. We’re always hard at work on sorting & cataloging the next collection and we love giving tours! Much like watching the fudge get made when you’re on Mackinac Island, you’ll be amazed and delighted when you see what we’re handling next!

DO YOU HAVE ANY OF THESE RARITIES HIDING IN YOUR BASEMENT?

Back to the Past Collectibles handles some of the most unique finds in the industry, some with jaw-dropping realized prices!

Our customers love us for the work we do, both finding these rare treasures and getting them properly packed and arriving world-wide safely! That’s why our ratings are among the best in the industry: Proxibid 4.8+ rating over thousands of transactions, eBay 100% rating over 75,000+ transactions, and on local review sites we consistently earn high marks.

Our selling clients love us for the prices we get when bringing their valuables to market. Our experts are always standing by to discover the gems buried in your collection. We’ve been successful for more than 3 decades because we focus on making your collectible sale a hit, and when you win, we win!

DON'T TAKE OUR WORD FOR IT...SEE WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING

There’s nothing better for us to receive than the good word of a happy client or customer. Here are just a few examples:

LIVE AUCTIONS

Back to the Past Collectibles is the premier auction house for vintage collectibles and memorabilia of all kinds!

We offer treasures from both our own warehouse and other consignors from across the country.

Main event auctions are held in our physical showroom (COVID-safety permitting) and are broadcast online via Proxibid.com, so you can attend whether or not you’re from our local neighborhood. Most auction events have a 1-hour inspection and registration window, so you can take your time looking over the lots.

The buzz you’ve heard is real. It’s a lot of fun to attend our onsite live events, so we invite you to come and check it out!

If you’re unable to join us in person on auction day, we highly recommend using Proxibid to place absentee bids and attend online.
