Guy is the president and general manager of Rare Newspapers and oversees the day-to-day operations and management of the business. Together, Hughes and Heilenman are part of a team considered to be a leading authority on rare and historic newspapers. The Wall Street Journal, the New Yorker, the Robb Report, The Financial Times (London) and many other scholarly and historically-themed publications have either written about or consulted Rare Newspapers regarding the hobby.
