Premier Auctions

I just found Premier Auctions and don't recall any opinions on them from net54.
I did a search on past posts and found zip.
My question is simple; does anyone recommend them? I was looking at current auctions by them and many of the items have no bids.

It's the old Mike Gutierrez Auctions, run by former MGA employees and without Gutierrez. When Gutierrez moved to Heritage a few years back, they took over with his endorsement and changed the name to Premier. I believe it to be a reputable and legitimate company.

I purchased one autographed item from them about a year ago and had no issues.

I can add that I haven't bid there in a good while, but have won items from them in the past and received the items. I'm not an autograph expert, but can testify that their customer service and shipping was fine. I see no reason you shouldn't feel safe sending them money.

I do not like it when they wont list who authenticated some of the items.

I believe all their autographs come with their LOA, plus whatever else certification is listed. They used to have PSA then JSA certify their autos, but quit doing that at some point. Perhaps because of cost.

I have talked to them, and they feel that they have much auto experience and feel comfortable authenticating in-house, much like Lelands. I'm sure with a Ruth or such they'd go to one of the biggies.
