b'The Stein Auction CompanyDear Beer Stein Collectors:For over ten years we have been using an online timed auction system. We have vast expe-rience with this process that is now just being discovered by many auction companies. The printing and mailing operations for our future Featured Auctions will change. We will move to an online only format beginning with the next Featured Auction. The catalog will be available only online on our website. We will discontinue printing and mailing catalogs. The Flip Page Catalog will become a featured part of the viewing possibilities on our web-site.Wewillcontinuetodisplayallitemswithhigh-qualityphotographsandaccurate descriptions.Most of our operations are continuing unchanged. High-quality photographs and accurate descriptions for our catalogs have not been affected by the virus mandated closings. We will continue to produce the highest quality photographs and descriptions that our customers deserve and expect. Our absolute guarantee for both condition and authenticity has not and will not change. Our invoicing systems and consignor notifications are also unaffected. Our shipping oper-ations continue to run as smoothly as they have for many years.We will be adjusting consignment pick-ups in the future as required based on the current government, medical and common-sense guidelines.Our recent and near-term auction schedule has had some minor adjustments. While we have been able to present a consistent schedule, we have changed the sequence of some of the auctions. Follow our website for future auction date information.Sincerely yours,The Stein Auction Company'
