Search Tips
Targeting Your Search
Using "quotes" around your search phrase can help narrow the results to exactly what you are interested in. A search for George Washington without quotes will return all results that contain both "George" and "Washington", in any order. A search for "George Washington" in quotes returns all results with the exact phrase George Washington, in that order.
Try first without any words in the optional search box, and then narrow it down.
This will produce more items, and once you see how the items are listed, you can narrow your search results with more accurate words.
Search ALL or search by category?
If you're looking for only political signatures, choose "political" from the drop-down list. If you're searching for items that span multiple categories, choose ALL from the drop-down.
Search just auctions, or just inventory, or both?
The search from our home page covers everything we have to offer, whether in auction or inventory. If you are only interested in either auctions or buy now items, select the appropriate check boxes in the search area ("Search within Inventory" or "Search within Auctions").
Think of the one search word that best describes the item you are looking for and use that.
Maybe it's a name (like Washington), or a document (letter), or a year (1750).
When using more than one search word, try using "OR" and "NOT".
When you use multiple words, the search engines will try to find items with all of those words in the description. Try using "OR" and "NOT". If you're interested in all items from 1750 and 1751, you can enter "1750 OR 1751". This would limit your search to just items with either of those two dates in the description. Or, if you are interested in a signature from Franklin, but not the Declaration of Independence, then you might search for "Franklin NOT Declaration of Independence".
Avoid punctuation marks unless required.
Don't use commas, periods, dashes, etc., unless required - such as in a name like O'Doul.
Still Can't Find What You're Looking For?
Perhaps we don't have the item you are looking for now, but chances are we will soon. Add the particular item(s) you are looking for to our "MyWantList" and you'll be notified as soon as it/they become available. If you would like further assistance, please don't hesitate to contact us.
