Greetings fellow collectors. My wife, Catherine, and I are avid vintage Halloween collectors. We’ve been passionate collectors of vintage Halloween memorabilia for more than a decade and have amassed a laudable collection noteworthy for its superb condition, rarity and one of a kind never before seen collectibles. The first phase of our vintage Halloween collectibles dispersal in 2007 included many exclusive and elusive collectibles* with iconic names such as Beistle, Dennison and E. Rosen (mechanical countertop displays). Today, these rarely seen examples have greatly expanded the boundaries of knowledge presently available to collectors of all levels thanks to authoritative author Mark B. Ledenbach. Mark acquired several of these superbly rare and scarce collectibles while attending our private pre-auction preview held at our residence in July, 2007. We intentionally extended Mark the opportunity to view and purchase our acquisitions firsthand. We hoped these collectibles and never before seen examples would one day be published so all collectors could share in our learnings and observations. Mark’s 2nd edition, “Vintage Halloween Collectibles” plus DVD Supplement** is comprised of our once held never before seen collectibles on the DVD supplement to his book and are illustrated throughout his new 3rd Edition, “Vintage Halloween Collectibles”.*** My wife, Catherine, and I proudly announce the continuation of our 2007 (Phase 1) vintage Halloween collectibles dispersal with Phase 2, commencing September 2015. In the interim, for newcomers to get to know us and seasoned collectors to reacquaint yourselves with our finely acclaimed collectibles were pleased to offer a select limited array of superbly rare vintage Halloween collectibles this 2014 Halloween season. We have no doubt they’ll be sure to entice your interest and whet your appetite for our Phase 2 vintage Halloween collectibles disbursal in September 2015. Follow me on eBay. Best, Robert and Catherine LaPlace.
