                Sell Prince memorabilia with RR, exceed your expectations

                Why sell Prince memorabilia with RR Auction? Because we listen to the collectibles market, and it’s clear from several hugely successful solo auctions that there is a vigorous interest in musical artist Prince.

                Sales expectations for Prince memorabilia are consistently shattered – our Sept. 2017 alone reaped triple what was projected — due to RR’s international press coverage, consignors from Prince’s inner circle, our elite collectors and industry buzz.
