Stuart Holbrook has spent 38 years on the podium at Theriault’s guiding auctions of some of the world’s most unique collections. A few of these stand out in his memory and not always because they were the biggest. Sometimes because of a special moment - or even surprising events leading up to the auction that made the sale all that more memorable. In one case it’s due to a complete failure! This episode of The Curious Collector is a journey through Stuart’s memory bank of those auctions he still thinks about today and the gained stories he has from those experiences. Some may be obvious. Others might come as a complete surprise. Either way it is a fun small recap of a few of these events from the past 37 years.
