Toys of Times Past Auctions'

Latest Upcoming Auction

    If you've been following be of late, you'd see that I've returned to writing. I can't promise for how long, but there have been nice upcoming auctions that have given me the impetus (incentive) to write. I ventured over to  Toys of Times Past Auctions and was surprised to see so many toys that I had not yet seen before. Also, the owner is quite knowledgeable, as the dates of when these toys were around are inclusive in the descriptions.

Like many auctioneers recently have done, Toys of Times Past Auctions have

decided to use an auction service company to have their bidders bid. The auction

service organizes the auction, takes bids, and of course receives a commission for their work on -line. Below is the auctioneer organizer's (Invaluable) website for Toys of Times Past Auctions.

This auction consists mostly of an exceptional 
collection of Schuco (Germany) toys in very good conditions.
I have not seen so many of the same toys in an auction before!

This auction is scheduled for November 3, 2018

Exceptional Photographic treatment and Care-Part I

Exceptional Photographic treatment and Care-Part I

   What caught my attention for today's post was the photography quality. Not only was the photography excellent, but every item from higher-priced to lower-priced and big or small was photographed with the same care and attention. For myself, that tells me something about the seller.

Mr. Vince Sarchese, is the owner of  real_antiques on ebay, and all of his items are well-photographed. I can only base my conclusion on how I treated my merchandise when I photographed my toys for  ebay.  Of course, I started to blog, and wanted nice photos, but I figured that if I photographed everything well, I would be able to sell easier. Also, I had never sold anything on  ebay, so I also thought that showing the toys well would be an asset.

I like how Vince has made a montage for the 

standard that he wants to maintain with his store.

You'll have to change the blog view to slide show to see the true quality of the photos. But to really best see them, you need to go to  ebay.   However,just looking at the above photo gives you a good sense of the toy quality and condition, as well as the excellent photography.

Speaking for  myself, and I would think Vince would agree, that once you start taking quality photography,  the extra work involved is soon forgotten. And like all other things, the work get easier and faster. But you also get a sense of pride in comfort at having achieved this level and standard.

I will be adding another post soon on Vince and his high quality photography and of course the interesting toys and details of the toys! 

When I see such nice content, I just can't stop looking!

Thanks for visiting,

and as always, 

have a great part of the day or night,

'wherever you my be.
