Teaches at 92nd Street Y

Les Wolff is the owner of Les Wolff Sports, a name that's been synonymous with autographs and sports memorabilia for more than five decades. Les Wolff is a trusted name in the hobby, having established relationships with many of greatest names in sports over the years like Mickey Mantle and Muhammad Ali.

A hobby pioneer, Les was the first to conduct a sports auction via the phone and fax (before the internet became widely available) in the late 1980s.
In 2005, Les travelled the country as the lead appraiser and authenticator for ESPN/Cox Communications' Memorabilia Road Tour, examining thousands of items brought to him. He's a regular on the circuit of major shows and is almost always set up at the National Sports Collectors Convention.
