About Christophe Stickel and CSA
Christophe Stickel Autographs has been one of the leading autograph dealers since 1980 and has been written up in many publications, including The Smithsonian, The San Francisco Chronicle, The San Francisco Examiner and The Monterey Herald.
Christophe Stickel began his career as a book cataloguer and then headed the Autograph Department of the California Book Auction in San Francisco. Since 1987 he has issued his own autograph catalogues. At the beginning of 1998, he switched to the auction format simply because these days most collectors and dealers will only sell their autographs through bonafide auction houses because the potential for profit is so much greater than selling to a retail dealer.
Christophe belongs to all of the major professional organizations which promote the highest ethical and professional standards for autograph dealers. He is a lifetime member, a regional director, and a Registered Dealer of the Universal Autograph Collectors Club. He is a member of the Manuscript Society, a charter member of the International Autograph Dealers Alliance, and a member of two elite organizations that have standards and professional qualifications so high that few applicants are ever accepted: the Antiquarian Booksellers Association of America (member since 1988) and the Professional Autograph Dealers Association.
