Is currently being "liquidated" on the big auction site, and I don't mean Potter & Potter, unfortunately. Maybe some of the folks here who actually appreciate Mike and his legacy would like to take a look there before his collection is gone.

Do you have the auction link?

I didn't post one because if I recall correctly, we're not supposed to promote that site here. I'll send a PM. I suspect sales will continue a little while yet, but I don't know.

There's a seller "vintoggin" who has several listings of items described as "Mike Gallo owned", with one of Gallo's business cards pictured.

I don't think there's any other provenance of ownership offered.

They sold MIKE GALLO'S copy of DAVID ROTH'S book for 65 dollars. Blatant lack of interest and effort.

wTH????

Several of the purses listed on EBay are ones I had given to Mike; specifically, the rattle purses, and italian leather coin purses with florentine design.

I've been trying to get in on those. What a piece of history and I love coin purses. Recently found an awesome snakeskin one at a thrift store that fits my whole hillbilly cowboy thing.

Well, that escalated quickly.

Hope you got something.

Unfortunately not. A lot of people jumped in at the last minute. Smart, but frustrating. Ah well. Hopefully someone cool got them who will honor them.

7 sets of cups going in 1 lot. "Don't know what you like? Are you in luck!" Serious mishandling, in my opinion. Target sell to people who know what they want, I would think, would be recommended. 7 sets cups, 8 sets balls, 2 booklets (1 Milt Kort) + 1 wand. Starting bid: $1.00

I don't know how many are interested, but it is illegal to undersell an estate and that is exactly what is happening to Mike's magic collection on ebay, right now. The items can't even be found by searching "Mike Gallo magic".
Mike's copy of Geoff's book was sold for $20.00.
His copy of Richard Kaufman's Collected Almanac was sold for $30.00.
