About RR Auction
Bob Eaton founded the business in 1980 by mailing lists of autographs for sale from Massachusetts. It moved to Amherst, New Hampshire in 1995, when it switched from retail to auctions, and opened a Boston gallery in 2014. It is legally R&R Auction Company of Massachusetts, LLC.
RR runs themed timed auctions about twice a month, plus some live sales. Topics include presidents, space, rock and pop, and sports. Online bidding started in 2004. Lots close under a 30-minute rule, and results post the afternoon after each close.
