In 1982, Leslie Hindman founded Leslie Hindman Auctioneers in Chicago, Illinois, and within a few years it grew to be the largest auction house in the Midwest, and one of largest in the country. As a result of the firm's outstanding reputation, it was acquired by Sotheby's in 1997. When the opportunity presented itself, Leslie reopened Leslie Hindman Auctioneers in 2003 and continued her growth trajectory.
Also part of the Hindman family of auction houses, Cowan's Auctions was opened in 1995 by Wes Cowan in Cincinnati, Ohio. Cowan's quickly earned a reputation for integrity, customer service and great results. In 2018, these two firms became the foundation for Hindman, a rapidly growing organization with the ambition to be the nation's most client-centric auction house.

Sports Memorabilia During Timed auctions, a countdown clock is displayed on the main auction page and on the lot level. These auctions have a “rolling close,” with each lot closing in a staggered manner after the previous lot. For these auctions, the countdown clock on the main auction page will be counting down to the close of the first lot. Individual lots will have their own countdown clocks, indicating the specific closing time for that lot. If a bid is placed within one minute of the closing time of a lot, five additional minutes will be added to the designated closing time for that lot. Please note that the extension of one lot’s closing time does not affect other lots’ closing times. A detailed explanation of the Timed auction format can be found here.

A LEVEL ABOVE ONLINE AUCTIONS-IN THE COMPANY OF CHRISTIE'S, SOTHEBY'S, DROUOT AND VARI
HINDMAN'S QUALITY, AUTHENTICITY, AND CUSTOMER SERVICE IS PARALLEL TO NONE. I HAVE BEEN A CLIENT OF HINDMAN'S SINCE 2006. BEING A SPECIALIST IN A SPECIFIC ANTIQUE ART GENRE I AM KNOWN IN FRANCE AND THE U. S. AS A 'TOP EXPERT'. WHEN HINDMAN'S OFFERS OBJECTS IN MY SPECIALTY, I BUY WITH CONFIDENCE. FROM THE BEGINNING TO THE END OF THE AUCTION PROCESS IS AS IT SHOULD BE.
