WorthPoint Adds David Bausch, Andy Bernstein to its Team of Worthologists

ATLANTA, Aug. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- WorthPoint Corporation has announced the
addition of David Bausch and Andy Bernstein to its team of Worthologists --
men and woman with expertise in and a passion for collecting art, antiques and
collectibles.
Bausch, of Allentown, Pennsylvania, is a collector of "Automobilia" --
items related to the history of automobiles. Bausch's collection includes
advertising, art, bronze and crystal china and "everything about the early
days of automobiling."
Bausch is the author of the "Official Price Guide to Automobilia" and a
member of the Pioneer Automobile Club and the Antique Toy Dealers of America.
Two of the vehicles in his collection, a late nineteenth-century Nadiq and a
Detroit Electric, are on permanent display at the America on Wheels Museum in
Allentown, where Bausch served as the curator and now serves on its Board.
Bernstein, of Douglaston, New York, started collecting license plates more
than 30 years ago when the cook at a summer camp in upstate New York gave him
an outdated Florida plate from her own car. Today, Andy's personal collection
of license plates numbers more than 65,000.
Andy's collecting interests focus on commemorative license plates,
pictorial plates, original porcelain issues, political plates and
international plates. Andy is a long-time member of the Automobile License
Plate Collectors Association and has been featured in the press, on radio and
on "The Oprah Winfrey Show."
"We now have more than 40 Worthologists and hope to have 100 by the end of
the year," says WorthPoint Founder and CEO Will Seippel. "Our Worthologists
are instrumental in building our online community of like-minded collectors
and dealers.
"We are receiving an increasing number of inquiries from people who want
to become Worthologists," Seippel says. "We thoroughly check each applicant's
background and qualifications and require each to abide by a strict conflict-
of-interest code. We are committed to creating a safe online site where
