Saw ad from Texas selling memorabilia--one time deal or is this a business?

[HistoryBuff]

The ad dates back to  Dec. 17, 2021.I am trying to find out, was this a one time sell-off or is this offer continuing?  Has  anyone dealt with this dealer before? There was a picture with the ad of three racing Cobras but I don't know if this is the advertisers own collection or at some event.I recognized Bondurant and Bill Neale,the famous artist. among the half dozen people posing with the race cars

John Lamm was a ]Road &Track photographer and free lancer who died recently. Hard to say if his book collection  was worth that--maybe he had a lot of free books he got while working for Road & Track. I don't know how actively he traded books to get the very best (photography wise) that he could get. Maybe the Shelby collection is worth more comparatively because it also contains pictures. And assembled by a collector who was specializing, no Huppmobiles thrown in. I can see the John Lamm photo collection worth more than his book collection because he had the opportunity to take pictures of rare cars snot just at events but at the collector's home or museum. I don't know if it's coming up for sale.
