Bobby Livingston

I sell history for a living.

Auctioneer, appraiser, occasional TV guy, recovering filmmaker. Writing a book. Writing songs too.


I'm EVP at RR Auction in Boston. Over the years I've helped sell the seat that flew with Jeff Bezos on the first crewed Blue Origin mission — Justin Sun paid $28 million for it. Apple Check No. 1. The secrets of Kryptos. And home-movie footage of the JFK motorcade racing to Parkland that had been sitting in a family milk crate since 1963.

Before all that I was making movies and commercials in Hollywood and San Antonio. Before that, a kid in Alexandria, Virginia who liked old stuff a little too much.

You may have caught me on the Today Show, CNN, or Fox's Selling History. Lately I've been appearing on History Channel's History's Greatest Picks. The book is in progress. So is the next album with my band — we put a CD out a while back.
