Client Reviews

  • "Rick Keller is knowledgeable, hardworking and most importantly honest. He evaluated my antique jewelry collection and gave me a very fair price (I had several other quotes). He also went the extra mile and arranged for one of his contacts to repair several pieces which not only cost less than others quoted but the workmanship was superb. He is professional in every way and also a really personable and nice guy. I am looking forward to working with him again in the future."

Rick's sharp eye and genuine passion for history make him a standout in his field. I have been so impressed with his integrity and knowledge that I’ve used his services many times and even recommended him to friends and family. If you're on the hunt for an appraiser who's as delightful as he is dependable, Rick's your guy!"

  • “Rick made my sons dream of having a ‘sports card party’ come to life!! Rick not only carefully curated card packs for all attendees to open and trade but he was SO patient in teaching these young boys how to properly identify valuable cards and how to protect their cards and store them properly. It was my son’s favorite party by far and parents are still reaching out to let me know how much their children enjoyed it. I cannot recommend Rick enough. He is extremely knowledgeable and has the perfect temperament to run a fabulous party!”
