Toby Stoffa – entrepreneur, philanthropist, friend to the late Michael Jackson - why you need to know this woman now

Las Vegas is a 24-hour town, and Toby Stoffa, is a 24-hour powerhouse. The president and CEO of Antiquities International has over 27 years of treasure hunting the most rare autographs, antiques and icon memorabilia.  3,400 square feet of endless signed record albums, guitars, framed celebrity and historical signatures and refurbished antiques houses Stoffa’s Las Vegas kingdom.  

Stoffa's company was hand chosen by the owners of the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas, Nevada for occupancy when America’s richest mall opened. Antiquities has been an integral part of the Forum Shops since and has extended its lease for another ten years. A second location, Antiquities of California is located on Pier 39 on the famous Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco, Calif.

So why do you need to know Toby Stoffa? Her family, friends, associates and employees would say because of her unending commitment and support. For instance, not only does Stoffa provide 100 percent insurance coverage for her staff, she has also been an integral part in many employees’ personal and health recoveries. “It is that kind of compassion that has made me so loyal to Toby as a boss, and Antiquities. I can’t imagine working for anyone else,” one employee said. The loyalty speaks for itself, as most of her staff has been with her for at least 10 years.

Stoffa herself has overcome health issues and remains the true matriarch of a large family filled with her grandchildren. Stoffa is a proud sponsor and donator to charitable foundations all over the Las Vegas area. Charitable organizations include: March of Dimes, Make a Wish Foundation, Shade Tree Abuse Center, Children’s Leukemia Society, Children’s Cancer Society, and Muscular Dystrophy Association. She has been recognized by many organizations for her leadership in business, as well as her philanthropy, including being named one of the “Women Entrepreneurs of the Year,” by Nevada Woman magazine.

Ever the businesswoman, Stoffa puts in more hours at her operation (and then more at home), than most business owners do, really taking a hands-on approach and working alongside her employees. There is no closed-door policy at Antiquities between Stoffa and her staff, or customers for that matter. Clients appreciate the one-on-one service that Stoffa provides and she answers every email that comes her way, including any “what’s my 1970’s Star Wars figure worth?” inquires.

So, if you are not fortunate enough to be a part of Stoffa’s winning team or loving family, this entrepreneur is still the best in her business. No matter if you’re looking for rare Albert Einstein signed equations or an old Victrola like the one your grandma used to have, Stoffa can find it for you. Just remember, the name may be Toby, but this powerhouse is all businesswoman.
