Gary and Mary Pat also represent the firm at shows around the country and Gary provides catalog descriptions on much of the advertising material in each Morphy auction. And, of course, they help to staff the actual auction events at Morphy, roughly every other month. Since 1988, Gary has been a full time dealer in those categories and more.

In 1991 he established his own auction firm, which operated until April of 2006.  He did business under the name of Muddy River Trading Co. and later, Metz Superlatives Auction.

Over 16 years in the auction business, he was based in Roanoke, Va. and held 29 catalog auctions, selling over $15,000,000.00 in merchandise for hundreds of satisfied consignors.

In 2000, his wife Mary Pat joined him full time in the business.  Today they are still based in Roanoke, Va., and welcome your inquiries at any time.  They are just part of the extensive Morphy Auctions Staff who are willing to travel to view and arrange transport of your items or collection for presentation in a future auction.  Call them when the time comes for your items to receive the best in professional auction presentation!
