Hailing from a collecting family in New York City, Heritage Consignment Director Jon Fuld was given sports cards and memorabilia at a young age that his father collected from the 1950s and that his grandfather collected from the 1910s. His grandfather, James Fuld, Sr., was a prominent historian and collector of music, including handwritten scores and first editions, and wrote The Book of World-Famous Music. Jon learned early on how to take care of and assess physical objects of value. He routinely attended Gloria Rothstein and The National sports shows and negotiated with veterans in the business from an early age.

Jon turned this collecting legacy into a career, serving as a pre-war and post-war sports memorabilia dealer in New York, as well as a fine art dealer and a pawnbroker, prior to joining Heritage. He attended Johns Hopkins University and Fordham Law School, and earned a Certificate in Old Masters Art from Christie’s. A collector in many fields — sports memorabilia, historical items, Old Masters art and contemporary art — Jon views every physical object as unique, and relishes the opportunity to bring to light the important particulars of each piece. Jon recently handled the estate of Ernie Banks, the estate of Sid Luckman and the collection of Bob Dandridge.
