Geppi Entertainment Club Level Unveiled


It was announced Wednesday, September 5, 2007, that The Baltimore Ravens have re-branded the club level at their home, M&T Bank Stadium, as The Geppi Entertainment Club Level. Geppi's Entertainment Museum founder and Chief Executive Officer Steve Geppi signed a seven-year contract for the 75,000-square-foot space to promote his various companies and related businesses.

The Baltimore Business Journal reported that the publicly owned facility plays host to 130 to 150 events annually outside of NFL games.

In conjunction with this move, Geppi announced that his Diamond International Galleries, its Hake's Americana & Collectibles and Morphy Auctions units, and sister company Gemstone Publishing will be incorporated under the new Geppi Entertainment banner. While Morphy Auctions remains in its Denver, Pennsylvania location, the other companies are relocating to York, PA effective the first week of October 2007.

"This is an exciting period. I'm very happy to announce this transition," Geppi said. "Geppi Entertainment brings together under one brand the efforts we have been putting forward in a number of categories designed to promote the history of popular culture."

The new home base puts Geppi Entertainment Auctions & Publications in the heart of collecting in the United States and in a region long known for its enthusiastic support of historic research.

"York has an exciting dynamic to it. It's definitely a city and a region on the move, and we're excited to be a part of that. This is a terrific entry into a rich marketplace, both in terms of the history to be found and the collectors with a vibrant interest in it. I am personally very pleased to be able to create this opportunity," Geppi said.

"Joining the new facility in York with our auction in Denver, Pennsylvania, this new situation offers us the chance to invigorate our pursuit of history and to carry the word about collecting popular culture to a new audience while continuing to serve our well established customer base," said John K. Snyder, Jr., President of Geppi Entertainment.

The new facility, located at 3679 Concord Road, York, Pennsylvania 17402, is expected to be fully up and running by the first week of October 2007.
