Hello Fellow Collectors! 

The 2026 annual auction of vintage Halloween collectibles will soon begin right here on this site. Unlike so much material seen elsewhere, the items to be auctioned are all vintage and as described. I guarantee it!

The auction’s preview period begins the morning of Wednesday, February 18th. (This is the period where you can look over the lots and ask questions, but no bidding takes place.)  

The auction itself begins the morning of Sunday, February 22nd. (This is the period where you can look over the lots, ask questions and place bids.)

The auction for all lots will end at 9:00 PM on Sunday, March 1st. (This is Pacific time as I am in California.)

The 2026 auction consists of 103 lots. There will be a wide variety of vintage goods from entry-level items to those that should tantalize even the most advanced collectors. There are USA and German diecuts, USA lanterns and shades, USA and German JOLs, hats and masks, small paper items, candy holders and figurals, candles, post cards, noisemakers, boxed goods and more!

All lots will begin at $15 with no reserve. There are no buyer’s premiums.

Eleven items are “BOOK ITEMS” - items photographed for and appearing in all or some of my three editions of Vintage Halloween Collectibles. I rarely sell items from the collection as I am a collector rather than a dealer, but I simply can’t keep everything. 

As a thank you to those who have purchased a copy of my third edition of Vintage Halloween Collectibles, I will be accepting requests for bidder numbers and bids only from those who have purchased a copy of that book from me. It will soon be too late to order your copy!

If you have a new email and/or phone number or are unsure as to whether I have this information, please contact me so I can update contact information. 

If you wish to obtain a bidding number, you can request one anytime from now until the final day of the auction. 

I hope that you’ll be a participant!          Happy Halloween!
