Tune in to Jeffrey Burchard’s Antiques and Collectibles Show on WGUL 860 AM Tampa Bay for the “fastest hour in radio,” where the veteran auctioneer and host of Burchard Galleries shares expert insights, live call-in appraisals, and exciting previews of upcoming sales. In this episode, Jeffrey invites listeners to call 877-969-8600 or text photos to 727-560-5333 with questions about inherited items, estate pieces, or mystery finds—promising research into what they are and what they could bring in the international auction market. He highlights three August auctions at the long-standing St. Petersburg gallery (2522 30th Avenue North): a Discovery Sale on August 1 (a rain makeup with no reserves), another Discovery on August 15, and a Premier Sale on August 16 featuring online, phone, and absentee bidding. Recapping the recent rock’em-sock’em Premier auction, he details standout lots including a Bigelow Kennard stained-glass table lamp that sold for $1,900, a rare 1866 “Father of Waters” Mississippi River ribbon map once owned by riverboat captain Russell Warner that realized $2,800, and an attributed Herter Brothers ebonized musical parlor cabinet that soared to $5,750 after going unsold at a prior estate sale. Looking ahead, Jeffrey teases a massive 10-room house estate packed with art glass, peachblow, Burmese, Bohemian pieces, Victorian étagères, a full-bodied taxidermied African lion, a Rock-Ola bubbler jukebox, pinball machines, and more—all selling without reserve. With over 50 years of experience liquidating estates for attorneys, trusts, and families, Burchard Galleries offers free house calls, global buyer exposure (buyers from 28 countries in a recent sale), and marketing in publications like the Antiques and the Arts Weekly. Whether you’re a collector hunting no-reserve treasures, an heir facing a daunting liquidation, or simply curious about that item sitting on the porch or in the garage, this show delivers practical advice, historical context (from Tiffany World’s Fair exhibitions to obscure art pottery like T.J. Wheatley), and an open invitation to join the mailing list at BurchardGalleries.com so you never miss the next discovery.
