There are collectibles connected to the Beatles, the Supremes, David Bowie and the Go-Go’s, but at the moment, ANALOGr founder and Chief Executive Thomas Scriven is deep into a discussion on the Grateful Dead.

“Some of these artifacts that we’re touching, they impacted music culture, pop culture, some of the biggest moments in people’s lives,” says Scriven, 44, bearded in tie-dyed jeans, sounding like a true fan as he describes the many items spread out around him.

“We work exclusively with the artists to tell their story, authenticate everything, and then really work in partnership with them,” says Scriven.

“This was the main production case for the Grateful Dead,” says Scriven, brushing his hand reverently over its polished wooden surface, inlaid with the Dead’s 13-point lightning bolt insignia.

“One day they’re like, ‘You gotta get outta here,’” Scriven recalls with a grin.
