WorthPoint Corporation, the premier website for art, antiques, and collectibles, announced on Tuesday that Dallas-based Heritage Auction Galleries, the world's largest collectibles auctioneer and third largest auction house, has selected WorthPoint as a data publishing partner.
Under the new agreement, Heritage will provide WorthPoint with upcoming and historical auction data to be published on the WorthPoint website. With information provided by Heritage, WorthPoint is now able to provide more comprehensive data than ever.
"Heritage Auction Galleries is the undisputed Internet leader in its field," said WorthPoint Founder and CEO Will Seippel.

"WorthPoint's cutting-edge technology, its visionary management team, its roster of 'Worthologists' -- men and women who share an expertise in and a passion for collectibles -- and its planned acquisition of GoAntiques.com, make WorthPoint a perfect partner for us," said Heritage Auction Galleries Co-Chairman Jim Halperin.
