As the author of two books (Card
Sharks, Sports Memorabilia
for Dummies) and many articles on the sports collectibles
business, Pete Williams is a recognized authority on the
industry. With no personal or professional ties to the
business, other than a modest collection from childhood,
he provides objective analysis and expertise on a field
notorious for unscrupulous business practices, inconsistent
pricing, and misleading advertising.
Williams has been interviewed by numerous media outlets and has served
as an expert witness in high-profile lawsuits involving memorabilia related
to Ted Williams and Barry Bonds. He also consulted on other cases that
never went to trial and has provided industry expertise to high-profile sports figures who have lost personal memorabilia to theft, fire, and natural disaster.
