ACME INC prides itself in verifying the condition and provenance (including detailed background research) of every item we take on, whether it is for sale to a collector, a dealer, an institution or is being evaluated specifically for a Client. This analysis is purposefully as all encompassing as possible to ensure that the item is "100% authentic". As an example, ACME's sister company, PastTimes Collectibles, has both a retail shop on the Queen Mary ocean liner (berthed in Long Beach , CA) and a thriving online website as well, both designed to offer quality, and in many cases, one of a kind items. Store employees use ACME resources to ascertain retail prices, provenance, workmanship plusses and minuses and when necessary to act as  go betweens to line up further expertise and appraisal benefits.

When we help collectors, consultants, business managers or institutions build Collections (or to sell theirs) we take the time honored approach of, the more time spent finding materials to back-up an assesment, the more value the Collections take on. We try to impart an authentic story to each and every Collection, whether we are bulding it for a Client or helping a Client get not only the best price , but also having the Client's Collection go to the right Buyer(s).
