American Memorabilia is the West Coast's Premiere Sports & Celebrity auction house. President & CEO, Victor Moreno, formed the company in 1994. A former resident of Pittsburgh, PA, Mr. Moreno started the company with his own personal collection. Back in his hometown Moreno owned and operated a clothing establishment "Our Father's Son Boutique" that sold contemporary clothing and specialty accessories. His establishment was very popular among the players of both the Pittsburgh Pirates and Steelers. It was Moreno's idea to put the fish in Steeler Frenchy Fuqua's shoe, which was publicized nation wide! The store also gained the popularity of visiting baseball and football clubs due to the outrageous one of kind apparel. It became a common practice for Mr. Moreno to trade clothing for sports memorabilia and equipment with the players. Many of which became his personal friends. From this, he accumulated a very significant collection.
Mr. Moreno moved to Los Angeles, CA to pursue his ambitions of being a professional musician. After the success of four LP's and 2 videos (Is Love Still In Style, Any Thing I Want) with the V-Band , and a tour of the U.S. and Europe, he decided to leave the music business and move to Las Vegas, NV.
