Helen Hall is the founder and principal appraiser of DIG Appraisals. Her career began at just 16 as an antiques dealer, followed by an internship at Christie's where she spent hours watching James Bond films to match props with original production materials. This work sparked a lifelong passion for entertainment memorabilia.

As Vice President and Head of Entertainment Memorabilia at Christie's New York and London, Helen handled some of the world's most significant collections, conducting auctions and appraisals that collectively valued in the hundreds of millions. Her expertise and eye for authenticity became legendary in the field.

In 2008, Helen founded DIG Appraisals to focus exclusively on independent, unbiased valuations. Since then, she and her network of specialists have appraised over $100 million in entertainment memorabilia, fine art, and collectibles.
