The auction industry, which dates back thousands of years, remains the first and one of the remaining examples of the free enterprise system where products, prices and services are determined by the market. The professional auctioneer is a facilitator of this process which makes them an important pillar in their community.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese trading cards are one way to illustrate the importance that the auctioneer is to the community. It also pays tribute to those that have made a considerable impact with the Michigan Auctioneers Association,\u201d said Michigan Auctioneers Association\u2019s Executive Director, Tricia Wiltjer.<\/p>\n

Michigan Auctioneers Association\u2019s President, Chuck Ranney said, \u201cWhen the trading cards were initially unveiled at the National Auctioneers Association convention in Grand Rapids, Michigan they sold out within minutes.\u00a0 When the general public learned of these cards, the demand for them was pretty overwhelming. We decided at that point to put them into a final production to help satisfy the demand.\u201d<\/p>\n
