This week's newsletter features a profile on collector Sam Mann and the results of the RM Sotheby's Monterey auction last Thursday.


Please join me on Thursday, September 24, 2026 to support the Roslyn Landmark Society and the Roslyn Chamber of Commerce for The Taste of Roslyn at my Waterfront at Roslyn building. Great food and another opportunity to see my automobile collection. Act quick- the event is selling out with 60% of the tickets sold over the last 35 days.


Enjoy,


Howard Kroplick
