Atlanta-based WorthPoint Corporation has formed a partnership with Brockelman Auctions of Rhome, Texas.

Brockelman Auctions bills itself as “an auction company by collectors, for collectors.” Co-founder Scott Brockelman has been a serious sports card collector since the 1990s and is a long-time contributor to the Krause Big Book, The Vintage & Classic Baseball Collector magazine, SCD, and many other publications. The company has handled some of the rarest and most expensive cards in the hobby. More than 10,460 sales results from Brockelman Auctions are now searchable in WorthPoint’s Price Guide.

“As a collector, I have used WorthPoint to search for both new items of interest and historical sales data,” said Brockelman. “I know the inclusion of Brockelman Auctions listings will help people as they add to their existing sports collections or just enjoy researching past sales.”
