In the quiet corners of Bloc Galleries, where history whispers from each collectible, two enigmatic felines hold court. Gertrude, with her elegant white coat, and Pete, 'The Man Cat', in his tuxedo attire, materialize each evening as the sun dips below the horizon. No one knows where they hail from—perhaps an alternative universe—but their vigilant eyes never miss a detail. At precisely 3:33 AM, under the soft glow of the moon, an extraordinary event unfolds. For a fleeting 15 minutes, they speak. Yes, speak! With articulate English accents, they offer a running commentary on the day's work, sparing no one from their sharp, albeit humorous, observations on our numismatic endeavors. "Another misaligned watermark?" Gertrude would quip, her tail flicking with amusement. Pete, ever the diplomat, might chime in, "Splendid effort on the cataloging, though, truly!" Their critiques, always laced with wit, leave us in chuckles and chagrins alike. But as the clock ticks towards 4:00 AM, their words fade into the ether, and the memory of their eloquence evaporates like mist. By 5:00 AM, they are but silent sentinels once again, and with the first light of dawn, they vanish, leaving behind just a hint of their presence in photos they've graced. A Thanksgiving Extravaganza - Curated Secrets from the Attic Pete and Gertrude, ever the curious and cunning duo, have been working on something truly special. This Thanksgiving, they decided it was the perfect time to reveal their Thanksgiving Extravaganza—a secret stash of unique treasures that they had cleverly hidden away in the attic for years, just waiting for the right moment to share them with our loyal customers. From glittering artifacts to rare notes, the cats knew exactly what would dazzle our bidders. After all, who better to curate an auction than two feline aficionados with an eye for hidden gems? These special items, kept under wraps until now, are being offered exclusively during our Black Friday Auction and through the Thanksgiving weekend, leading to a grand culmination on Cyber Monday. Pete and Gertrude’s whimsical touch means each item comes with an extra sprinkle of magic and intrigue—these are items that have never been seen before, each with its own story, carefully picked by our furry guardians. Legend has it that Gertrude and Pete are the guardians of good fortune at Bloc Galleries. They watch over the collections, ensuring each piece carries with it a sprinkle of their mystical charm. If you happen upon their image nestled within a listing, take it as a sign: the cats approve, and perhaps luck will favor your bids. If you win an auction and send us a message about Pete and Gertrude, we’ll send a special surprise, directly from Pete’s secret stash—he always has an eye for something extraordinary.
