The Platinum Collection auction dates have been changed out of respect for Hurricane Katrina's victims and all affected by the damage in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida.

The auction will now be sold on eBay Tuesday, October 11, 2005. The last bids will be accepted Friday, October 21 at 3 p.m.

Please note this change on your calendars.

Portions of The Platinum Collection will still be available for public viewing at the Bellagio this Thursday.

Join us for the exhibit in the Michelangelo room at the Bellagio, Las Vegas on Thursday, September 8, 2005 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The
collection's authenticators and consultants will be on hand to answer questions.

Refreshments will be served.

In the meantime, those who are not pre-qualified to bid on the auction are encouraged to do so now.

I hope to see many collectors at this event. Please stop by and say hi.

I know some dates show the press conference on the site as being Oct. It is for sure this Thursday.
