Ten years ago we opened Vintage 429 with the commitment to provide one-of-a-kind autographed memorabilia combined with the finest service. A result of that commitment has been the opportunity to do business with many wonderful people. And it's especially gratifying when we get letters such as this:
"Joe, let me tell you that beyond the shopping experience, beyond the sites and sounds of New Orleans, my wife Irina and I could never conceive of a trip to New Orleans without stopping in Vintage 429."
"As you know we now own many, many pieces that we have purchased from you. Our house is now a home because of the treasures we now possess. But that is not what makes your shop so special, it is you Joey and Paula that make it special. You take the time to get to know your clients, you build relationships, you know 99% of the time what a client will like and what they will not. You never pressure and you are always fair. In fact to a fault. I have never left your store and felt like I did not have complete value for my money.
"I have been in city's all over the country and being a businessman myself and wanting to solidify a deal or a relationship, I always pick up the phone and call you and within minutes we have just the right gift, something unique and perfect for the situation. I recall when hurricane Katrina hit Louisiana, the first person I called was you. I offered you to come to Atlanta and stay at my home. That is how I feel about you now Joey. That is how you make everyone feel. Like they are special and important and that trait can not be taught, you either have it or you don't, and you certainly have it. Irina and I are so glad that we make our purchases exclusively at Vintage 429, but most of all we are most thankful for having made a friend in you and that we cherish more then any piece we own, and you know we own some good pieces. Love ya babe"
-John Cornetta, Atlanta
"Joey what can I say!? You are the greatest! My office and basement are looking great thanks to you. I value all of my pieces, but most of all I value the friendship we've started."
-Paul, Shereville, IN
"Received my Stevie Ray Vaughan autographed picture...I just love it. I could not believe home nicely everything was arranged and framed."
-Stephanie, Lexington, KY
"The level of forensic documentation provided on the Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig pieces I purchased has truly demonstrated what makes Vintage 429 stand apart. Thanks, Joey."
-Rick, Milwaukee, WI
"Hello Joey, my wife got me a signed 'Lord of the Rings' poster. You were such a joy to talk with. We felt as if we had made a new friend. We will definitely come back."
-Terry, Brentwood, TN
"Dear Paula, just to confirm we received the poster in perfect condition and it was a big hit with my dad. Thank you so very much."
-Arturo, Mexico
"Dear Joey, I am thrilled with The Godfather and my friend was very surprised with his Ozzy. Thank you again for all your kindness."
-Mike, Riverside, CA
"Joey, Clint LOVES his gift. Good call brother! I love you and hope all is well. XOX"
-Sharon, Seguin, TX
"My sincere thanks for the charitable program you've created to help Wonders and Worries. It's made a big difference in our ability to help children in need."
-Pete Hayes, Board Member
"Joey, you have been great to deal with and I will fully endorse your company to my friends.
I am excited to get the items for my bar."
-Shaun, Scottsdale, AZ
"We are very please with the service we received from you. We have never made such a large purchase like this before, and your staff made us feel secure with the process."
-Stefanie, Canada
