WE BUY VINTAGE PHOTOS & ADVERTISING COLLECTIBLES

Do you have a box of vintage photographs, postcards, or other kinds of paper collectibles?

Don’t just dismiss the value in those items and toss them out on cleaning day! Nostalgia can be a big driver for value, and the more interesting or insightful an item is in giving us a viewport to the past, the better that value can be!

Sell Us Your Old Photos and Advertising Items

At Back to the Past Collectibles, we love taking calls and rummaging through those boxes for advertising collectibles, old calendars, rare newspapers, and even vintage road maps. There’s something very exciting about pulling out a cabinet photo that you know nobody has set eyes upon for a long time. The stranger, the better!

Whether it be photographs of what your local neighborhood looked like in 1897 or a postcard from a traveling circus passing through town in the 1950s, people love to look through that window to see how things were in those olden days, and we want to bring your items to that market.

We Buy Old Photos, Calendars, Postcards and Advertising Collectibles

From ambrotype photos and simple Kodak prints to porcelain advertising signage, handbills, and framed mirror art, we want to see your collection!

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.
