A note on how inquiries are handled

What to expect

There is a particular kind of frustration that comes from sending a careful question and receiving a generic acknowledgement in return. That experience shaped a deliberate decision here: every message is read by a person with direct knowledge of the evaluation framework, and every reply is written to address the specific situation described. That takes a little longer than an automated response. It also produces a more useful answer. If you are writing about a specific poster — whether one you already own, one you are considering acquiring, or one that has appeared in an upcoming auction catalogue — the more detail you can provide at the outset, the more productive the first exchange will be. Artist name, approximate date of issue, a note on condition, and any provenance documentation you already hold are all helpful starting points. If you are writing with a broader question about how original vintage posters are evaluated as alternative assets within the Canadian market context, that is equally welcome. The framework described on this site was built through exactly those kinds of conversations, and they remain the most useful way to refine it further. Responses are sent within one business day during regular hours. Time-sensitive inquiries related to auction deadlines are addressed as a priority.
