Collectibles take the spotlight at Gavel & Block’s upcoming auctions

Treasures come in all shapes, size, form, and function. Take for example, Gavel & Block’s latest round of back-to-back auctions happening this Jul. 28.

Their upcoming two-part auction revolves around ‘editions’ or multiple original collectibles: unique objects produced in a series or large quantities. These items were made available to a larger market but still retain a level of exclusivity from limited quantity or production.

The first auction, Editions I, offers a collection of fine prints and sculptures. Some of the items up for auction include:

Prints by renowned local artists

Sabel, a digital print by BenCab
Handugan, a lithograph by Manuel Rodriguez
Borak, a rubbercut artist’s proof by Romulo Olazo
Eagle, sculpture on by Ferdinand Cacio

Prints by internationally acclaimed artists

Cosmic Athlete, lithograph by Salvador Dali
Romeo and Juliet, lithograph by Marc Chagall

Editions II, which was organized in collaboration with Dekada Collectibles, introduces a new item categories such as coins, stamps, toys, and other pop culture objects. You’ll  also find old soda bottles, coin banks, vinyl records, vintage film cameras, and even a Voltes V toy model—things that will definitely evoke a sense of nostalgia.
