The auction calendar is packed with collectible events that close in rapid succession, creating a bustling holiday market for buyers and sellers. The first wave ends on December 21, when several online sales conclude, featuring over 600 lots of sports cards, Pokemon cards, and related collectibles, as well as a separate toy collection of farm‑related items. That same day, a vehicle‑focused sale offers a Cadillac Eldorado and other high‑value items, while a separate auction lists golf carts and household goods.

The next day, December 22, brings a mix of interior‑themed collectibles and specialty items from European venues, adding to the diversity of the market. December 23 sees a preview of upcoming seasonal sales, while December 24 hosts a major decoy auction that includes roughly 600 bird decoys, folk art pieces, and related collectibles, complemented by a preview party the afternoon before.

December 27 features a large equipment auction in Kansas, showcasing tractors, harvest machinery, and related tools, alongside a two‑day estate sale in Missouri that offers a variety of household and decorative collectibles. The following day, December 28, a live auction in Ohio presents a broad assortment of designer jewelry, fine watches, and other high‑end collectibles, with a preview day scheduled earlier in the week.

Closing the month, December 30’s online sale highlights fine art, decorative pieces, and a range of high‑value collectibles, while December 31’s online auction in Maryland offers a mix of household items, tools, and specialty collectibles, with a preview period the day before.

Looking ahead to early 2026, weekly Thursday online auctions will continue to rotate themes, featuring decoys, sports‑related items, and other niche collectibles. A spring‑time estate auction in New Mexico will showcase a broad spectrum of household and decorative collectibles, while a summer automotive auction in Texas will present classic vehicles and related memorabilia.

Overall, the current trend shows a strong emphasis on themed collectible bundles—sports cards, toys, decoys, and specialty equipment—paired with strategic preview events and online bidding options that cater to both seasoned collectors and newcomers seeking holiday bargains.
