Tekserve Auction: Best Finds and Reactions
After almost 30 years on West 23rd Street, New York City’s beloved Tekserve is closing its retail store. And on Tuesday, August 23rd, Roland Auctions NY will disperse the Tekserve Collection with a nearly 500-lot auction. With such a cherished New York City landmark closing it’s doors, and with the unique memorabilia and collection that the retail establishment possessed, it’s no wonder that the Internet is freaking out.
