     NOW,  THEREFORE,  in  consideration  of  the  mutual promises and covenants
contained  in this Agreement, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound,
agree  as  follows:

     Certain terms used in this Agreement are defined in Section 8 hereof.

     1.   Sale and Purchase of Shares; Payment.
          ------------------------------------

          1.1  Sale  and  Purchase  of Shares.  At the Closing, each Stockholder
               -------------------------------
agrees  to sell, transfer and assign the Shares owned by such Stockholder to the
Purchaser  and,  subject to all of the terms and conditions set forth herein and
in  the  LPOA,  the Purchaser agrees to purchase each such Stockholders' Shares.
Upon  the  sale  and purchase of the Shares to the Purchaser, the Purchaser will

the  Company  on  a  fully-diluted  basis.

          1.2      Purchase Price for the Shares.  The  aggregate purchase price
                   ------------------------------
for  the Shares to be sold to the Purchaser on the Closing Date shall consist of
(i) the payment by the Purchaser to [      *      ] ("[      *      ]") of FORTY
THOUSAND  DOLLARS AND NO/100 ($40,000) (the "Cash Payment") in consideration for
                                             ------------

to  the  other  Stockholders  (excluding  [  * ]) of an aggregate of two million
(2,000,000)  shares of its common stock, $.001 par value (the "globe.com Shares"
                                                               ----------------

                                                --------------

<PAGE>
Shares  will  be  unregistered, will constitute restricted securities within the
meaning  of  the  Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and
will  contain  restrictive legends prohibiting the transfer of such shares other
than  in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws. Purchaser
agrees  to cooperate (including instructing its transfer agent) with appropriate
requests  for  transfer  of  the globe.com Shares, or removal of the restrictive
legend,  consistent  with  the  provisions  of  Rule  144  promulgated under the
Securities Act and the Stockholders representations and warranties under section
4.6  hereof.  The  Stockholders  acknowledge  that  as  a  condition to any such
transfer  or removal of legend request, that the Purchaser or its transfer agent
may  require  an  opinion  of  counsel reasonably acceptable to it (which may be
regular  counsel  to  the Purchaser) to the effect that such transfer or removal
would  be  in  compliance  with  the  Securities  Act  and  any applicable state
securities  laws.  Unless  otherwise  agreed by the Purchaser at the time of the
transfer  or removal of restrictive legend request, the cost of any such opinion
will  be  split  equally  between  the  Stockholder  making such request and the
Purchaser.  The  Stockholders  understand  that appropriate representations from
them  will  be  necessary in connection with any such transfer or legend removal
request. The globe.com Shares will be issued pro rata to the Stockholders (other
than to and taking into account the exclusion of [       *      ]) in accordance
with  their respective ownership percentages as set forth on Schedule II and the
holders  thereof  will  be  entitled  to  "piggy  back" registration rights with
respect  to  such  globe.com  Shares  in  the  manner set forth on Schedule III.

knowledge  of each Operating Stockholder, threatened, nor, to the best knowledge
of  each Operating Stockholder, is there any basis for any of the foregoing.  No

or  incorporates  any  provision,  the  effect  of  which  may  be to enlarge or
accelerate any of the obligations of the Company or to give additional rights to
any  other  party  thereto,  or  will  terminate,  lapse, or in any other way be
affected,  by  reason  of  the  transactions  contemplated  by  this  Agreement.

whole,  contain  any  untrue  statement  of  a  material fact or omit to state a
material  fact  required to be stated herein or therein or necessary to make the

     4.  Representations and Warranties of the Stockholders.  In order to induce
         --------------------------------------------------
the  Purchaser  to  enter  into  this Agreement and to purchase the Shares, each

as  follows  (subject  in  each  case to such exceptions as are set forth in the
attached  Disclosure  Schedule  in the section thereof numbered and captioned to
correspond  to  the  specific representation or warranty to which such exception
relates):

          4.1.  Binding  Effect.  Such  Stockholder  has the right, power, legal
                ---------------
capacity, and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform all
of  his  respective  obligations hereunder.  This Agreement constitutes a legal,
valid,  and  binding  obligation  of  such Stockholder, enforceable against such
Stockholder  in  accordance  with  its  terms.

          4.2.  Title.  Such  Stockholder  exclusively owns all right, title and
                -----
interest  in  and  holds  full  legal, equitable and beneficial ownership of the
number  of  Shares  set  forth  opposite  such  Stockholder's name on Schedule I
                                                                      ----------
hereto,  free  and  clear  of  any  Liens,  security interests, encumbrances and

                                       11
<PAGE>
restrictions  on  or  conditions  to  transfer  or  assignment.  There  are  no
outstanding  agreements or commitments of any nature obligating such Stockholder
to  transfer  his  Shares  or any interest therein to any other party.  Upon the
sale,  transfer  and  assignment  of  such Stockholder's Shares hereunder, there
shall be vested in Purchaser good and valid title to such Shares, free and clear
of  any  Lien,  security  interest,  encumbrance  or  restriction.

          4.3.  Litigation.  There  is  no  claim,  suit,  action,  legal,
                ----------
administrative, or other proceeding pending or, to such Stockholder's knowledge,
threatened,  that  involves  this  Agreement,  such  Stockholder's Shares or the
transactions  contemplated  hereby.

          4.4.  Consents;  Waivers. No consent, waiver, approval or authority of
                ------------------
any  nature,  or other formal action, by any person, firm or corporation, or any
agency,  bureau  or department of any government or any subdivision thereof, not
already  obtained,  is required in connection with the execution and delivery of
this  Agreement  by  such Stockholder or the consummation by such Stockholder of
the  transactions  contemplated  hereby.

          4.5.  Brokerage.  Other than the finder's fee payable to  [          *
                ---------
]  solely  by  the  issuance of 10,000 shares of the Purchaser's common stock as
more  particularly  described in Section 9.16, there are no claims for brokerage
commissions,  finders'  fees  or  similar  compensation  in  connection with the
transactions  contemplated  by  this  Agreement  based  on  any  arrangement  or
agreement  binding  on  such  Stockholder.

          4.6.  Securities  Matters. Such Stockholder is acquiring the globe.com
                -------------------
Shares  being  issued  to  him in connection with this Agreement for purposes of
investment only, for his own account, and not with the view to sell or resell or
to  distribute  such  globe.com  Shares,  or any part thereof, and that no other
person has any interest in such Stockholder's globe.com Shares. Such Stockholder
understands  that  the  globe.com  Shares  have  not  been  registered under the
Securities  Act.  In  addition,  such Stockholder understands that the globe.com
Shares  may  not be sold or resold without being registered under the Securities
Act  and  any applicable state securities laws, unless the sale is made pursuant
to  an  exemption  from such registration (and that a restrictive legend to such
effect will be set forth on the certificates representing the globe.com Shares),
and  that,  as  a  result,  such  Stockholder  must bear the economic risk of an
investment  in the Purchaser for an indefinite period of time. As a condition to
any transfer (or request for removal of a restricted legend) by the Stockholder,
the  Purchaser  will  require an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to it,
that  such  transfer  (or removal of restricted legend) is permissible under the
Securities  Act  and  any  applicable  state  securities laws and may charge the
Stockholder  for the costs of providing or investigating the availability of any
such  opinion.  Such  Stockholder  has knowledge and experience in financial and
business  matters  such that he is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of
an  investment  in  the  Purchaser, and is able to bear the economic risk of his
investment  in  the  Purchaser.

          4.7.  Disclosure.  The  representations  and  warranties  by  such
                ----------
Stockholder  in this Agreement and in the Disclosure Schedule do not, taken as a

                                       12
<PAGE>
whole,  contain  any  untrue  statement  of  a  material fact or omit to state a
material  fact  required to be stated herein or therein or necessary to make the
statements  contained  herein  or  therein  not  false  or  misleading.

     5.  Representations  and  Warranties  of the Purchaser.  In order to induce
         --------------------------------------------------
the  Sellers  to enter into this Agreement and to sell the Shares, the Purchaser
hereby  represents  and  warrants  to  each  Seller  as  follows:

          5.2.  Consents;  Waivers. No consent, waiver, approval or authority of
                ------------------

agency,  bureau  or department of any government or any subdivision thereof, not
already  obtained,  is required in connection with the execution and delivery of

transactions  contemplated  hereby.

          5.3.  Organization  and  Authority.  The  Purchaser  is  a corporation
                ----------------------------
incorporated  and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware.  The
Purchaser  has  all  requisite  corporate  power to own or lease and operate its
properties  and  to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be

     6.  Indemnification.
         ---------------

          6.1.   Indemnification.  All  covenants,  agreements, representations,
                 ---------------
and  warranties  made  herein  or  in  any  other document referred to herein or
delivered to the Purchaser pursuant hereto will be deemed to have been relied on
by  the Purchaser, notwithstanding any investigation made by or on behalf of the
Purchaser,  and  will  survive  the Closing for a period of three years from the

4.2  shall survive indefinitely and the representations and warranties set forth

defend, and hold harmless the Purchaser, the Company and each of the Purchaser's
partners,  stockholders,  officers,  directors,  employees,  agents,  and
representatives  (the  "Purchaser  Group")  from and against any and all Damages
incurred  by  any  of them in any capacity and resulting from or relating to the
breach  by  the  Operating  Stockholders  of  any  of  their  representations,
warranties,  covenants,  or  agreements  contained  in this Agreement (or in the
Disclosure  Schedule relating hereto).  Each Stockholder will, severally and not
jointly,  indemnify,  defend,  and  hold  harmless  the Purchaser Group from and

                                       13
<PAGE>
against  any  and  all  Damages  incurred  by  any  of  them in any capacity and
resulting  from  or  relating  to  the  breach by such Stockholder of any of his
representations,  warranties,  covenants,  or  agreements  contained  in  this
Agreement  (or  in the Disclosure Schedule relating hereto).  The Purchaser will
indemnify,  defend,  and  hold harmless the Sellers from and against any and all
Damages  incurred by any of them resulting from or relating to the breach by the
Purchaser  of  any  of its representations, warranties, covenants, or agreements
contained  in  this  Agreement.

          6.2.  Mechanics  of  Indemnity.  Any  member(s) of the Purchaser Group
                -----------------------
seeking  indemnification  hereunder shall promptly notify the Stockholder(s) who
are  obligated  to provide indemnification of the existence of any claim, demand
or  other  matter  to which such Stockholder's indemnification obligations would
apply,  and,  if a third party claim is reasonably and in good faith disputed by
such  Stockholder(s),  the  member(s)  of  the  Purchaser  Group  seeking
indemnification  shall  give  such  Stockholder(s)  a  reasonable opportunity to
defend the same at his or their own expense and with counsel of his or their own
selection;  provided  that  the  member(s)  of  the  Purchaser  Group  seeking
indemnification  shall  at all times also have the right to fully participate in
the  defense  at  its  expense. If the Stockholder(s) shall, within a reasonable
time  after  such  notice,  fail to defend, the member(s) of the Purchaser Group
seeking  indemnification  shall  have  the  right,  but  not  the obligation, to
undertake  the  defense  of,  and to compromise or settle (exercising reasonable
business  judgment) the claim or other matter on behalf, for the account, and at
the  risk,  of  the  Stockholder(s)  obligated  to  provide  indemnification.

          6.3.  Survival  of  Obligations.  Subject  to  the  various  time
                -------------------------
limitations set forth in section 6.1 above, the obligations of the parties under
this  Section  6 will survive transfer of the Shares and the termination of this
Agreement.

          6.4.  Escrow Shares; Right of Set-off.  Stockholders hereby agree that
                -------------------------------
in  addition  to  the Purchaser Group's right to take any action or exercise any
remedy  available  to  it  at  law  or  in equity against the Company and/or the
Stockholders by appropriate legal proceedings, any claims for indemnification by
the  Purchaser  Group against the Stockholders hereunder (including in the event
the  Stockholders  should refuse or fail to indemnify Purchaser pursuant to this
Agreement)  may  be  satisfied  by  the Purchaser by recourse against the Escrow
Shares  pursuant  to the terms of the Escrow Agreement.  In addition, whether or
not  the  Purchaser  seeks to satisfy an indemnity claim by recourse against the
Escrow  Shares  (but  without duplication), the Purchaser may set off and deduct
the amount of any Damages from any amounts now or hereafter owed by Purchaser to
any  Stockholder  under  any  other  agreement or obligation. Neither the Escrow
Shares nor anything contained in this Agreement shall constitute a limitation on
the  Purchaser  Group's  rights hereunder or a measure of liquidated damages and
any  member of the Purchaser Group may seek full indemnification for all Damages
suffered  and  may  pursue all rights and remedies available to it, at law or in
equity,  against  any  party  hereto,  jointly  with  other  parties  hereto  or
severally,  without  seeking  recourse  against  any  other  party  and  without
exercising  any  right  of setoff and without first seeking recourse against the
Escrow  Shares  or  otherwise.

later  of  this  Agreement  or any termination of his or her employment with the

officer,  agent,  client, candidate or customer of any of the Purchaser Group or
the  Company,  to  terminate,  reduce  or  modify  said  relationship.

          The  Operating  Stockholders  acknowledge and agree that the foregoing
restrictions  shall  be  in  addition  to  any  other  non-competition  and
non-solicitation  obligations  to the Purchaser Group or the Company pursuant to
the  terms  of  any  Employment  Agreement.

          In  the  event  of  any  breach  or  threatened breach by an Operating
Stockholder  of  this  Section, any member of the Purchaser Group or the Company
shall  be  entitled  to  injunctive  or  other equitable relief to restrain such
Stockholder  from  engaging  in  conduct  that  would constitute a breach of his
obligations  under this Section.  Such relief shall be in addition to and not in

of the Purchaser Group. Each of the Operating Stockholders acknowledge and agree
that  the  making of the restrictive covenants contained in this Section 7 was a
material inducement to the Purchaser to enter into this Agreement.

EXHIBIT 4.1

                        LIQUIDATION PREFERENCES AGREEMENT

         This LIQUIDATION PREFERENCES AGREEMENT (this "AGREEMENT") is made
effective as of January 31, 2003, and is made by and among TANGIBLE ASSET
GALLERIES, INC., a Nevada corporation (the "COMPANY"), the persons indicated on
the signature page hereof as being the holders of the Company's outstanding
Series B $1.00 Convertible Preferred Stock (the "SERIES B HOLDERS") and STANFORD
VENTURE CAPITAL HOLDINGS, INC., a Delaware corporation, in its capacity as the
sole purchaser of the Company's Series D $1.00 Convertible Preferred Stock (the
"SERIES D HOLDER").

                                 R E C I T A L S
                                 ---------------

         A. Concurrently herewith, the Company is executing a Series D Preferred
Stock Purchase and Warrant Exercise Agreement (the "STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT"),
pursuant to which the Series D Holder is purchasing two million (2,000,000)
shares of the Company's Series D $1.00 Convertible Preferred Stock (the "SERIES
D PREFERRED STOCK"). The rights, preferences and privileges of the Series D
Preferred Stock are set forth in a Certificate of Designation filed with the
Nevada Secretary of State (the "SERIES D CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION").

         B. The Company currently has outstanding three million four hundred
thousand (3,400,000) shares of Series B Preferred Stock, the rights, preferences
and privileges of which are set forth in a Certificate of Designation filed with
the Nevada Secretary of State (the "SERIES B CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION").

         C. The parties desire that the Series D Preferred Stock have the same
liquidation preferences as the Series B Preferred Stock. In order to amend the
Certificate of Designation for the Series B Preferred Stock so that its
liquidation preference is the same as (i.e., pari passu) with the Series D
Preferred Stock, the consent of the holders of the Company's outstanding Series
A $5.00 Redeemable 8% Convertible Preferred Stock (the "SERIES A PREFERRED
STOCK") will have to be obtained. The parties desire to close the transactions
described in the Stock Purchase Agreement without first obtaining the consent of
the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock.

         D. The parties are therefore entering into this Agreement so that they
may agree upon the liquidation preferences of the Series B Preferred Stock and
Series D Preferred Stock, with the intent that the Company shall also commence
efforts to obtain the approval of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock to
the amendment of the various Certificates of Designation, so that in the event
of a liquidation of the Company, the distributions to the holders of the Series
B Preferred Stock and Series D Preferred Stock shall be as set forth herein.

                                A G R E E M E N T
                                -----------------

         NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:

<PAGE>

1.       DISTRIBUTION OF ASSETS IN EVENT OF LIQUIDATION.
         -----------------------------------------------

         Notwithstanding the terms of the Series B Certificate of Designation
and the Series D Certificate of Designation, in the event of a liquidation,
dissolution or winding up of the Company, all cash or other property that would
be distributable to the Series B Holders and Series D Holders under the Series B
Certificate of Designation or Series D Certificate of Designation, respectively,
shall be pooled, and shall be distributed to the Series B Holders and the Series
D Holders in the manner set forth in EXHIBIT A hereto.

2.       RESTRICTION ON TRANSFER.
         ------------------------

         The Series B Holders and Series D Holder agree not to transfer their
shares of Series B Preferred Stock or Series D Preferred Stock, or assign any
interest therein, to any third party unless such third party agrees to be bound
by the terms hereof. The holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and Series D
Preferred Stock agree to tender their certificates for such shares to the
Company to be marked with a legend reflecting the existence of this Agreement.

3.       AMENDMENT OF CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION.
         ----------------------------------------

         The Series B Holders hereby irrevocably agree that the Series B
Certificate of Designation shall be amended so that SECTION 3 thereof, relating
to "Liquidation," shall read as set forth in EXHIBIT A hereto. The Company shall
promptly use its best efforts to obtain the approval of the Series A Holders to
the amendment of the Series Certificate of Designation and Series D Certificate
of Designation so that the liquidation preferences for both such classes of
securities thereof shall be as set forth in EXHIBIT A hereto.

4.       MISCELLANEOUS.
         --------------

                  (a) ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement and the Exhibit hereto
         constitute the entire agreement between the parties relating to the
         subject matter hereof, is intended as a complete and exclusive
         statement of the terms of the agreement among the parties with respect
         thereto and supersedes all prior agreements, representations and
         understandings, whether written or oral, concerning such subject
         matter.

                  (b) COUNTERPARTS; FACSIMILE TRANSMISSION. This Agreement may
         be executed simultaneously in two counterparts, each of which shall be
         deemed an original but both of which together shall constitute one and
         the same instrument. Facsimile transmission of any signed original
         document or retransmission of any signed facsimile transmission will be
         deemed the same as the delivery of an original. At the request of any
         party, the parties will confirm facsimile transmission by signing a
         duplicate original document.

                  (c) FURTHER ASSURANCES. The parties shall at their own cost
         and expense execute and deliver such further documents and instruments

                                    EXHIBIT A

3.       LIQUIDATION.
         ------------

         a. LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Corporation (each a "LIQUIDATION EVENT"), the holders (the
"SERIES B HOLDERS") of the Series B Preferred Stock and the Holders of the
Series D $1.00 Convertible Preferred Stock (the "Series D Preferred Stock")
shall have the same liquidation preference, pari passu, therefore each shall be
entitled to receive, before any distribution of assets shall be made to the
holders of any Series C $100 Redeemable 9% Convertible Preferred Stock (the
"SERIES C PREFERRED STOCK") or Common Stock, but after the liquidation
preference of the Series A $5.00 convertible preferred stock (the "SERIES A
PREFERRED STOCK"), an amount equal to the Stated Value per share of Series B
Preferred Stock and/or Series D Preferred Stock held by such Holder (the
"LIQUIDATION PAY OUT"). After payment of the Liquidation Pay Out to each Holder
and the payment of the respective liquidation preferences of the other classes
of preferred stock of the Corporation, pursuant to the Corporation's Articles of
Incorporation, as amended, each holder of Series B Preferred Stock and Series D
Preferred Stock shall be entitled to share with the holders of the Series C
Preferred Stock and the holders of the Common Stock, pari passu, on a per share
basis, the remaining assets of the Corporation available for distribution to the
Corporation's stockholders.

         b. RATABLE DISTRIBUTION. If upon any liquidation, dissolution or
winding up of the Corporation, the net assets of the Corporation to be
distributed among the Holders and the Series B Holders shall be insufficient to
permit payment in full to such holders, then all remaining net assets of the
Corporation after the provision for the payment of the Corporation's debts and
distribution to any senior stockholders shall be distributed ratably in
proportion to the full amounts to which they would otherwise be entitled to
receive among such holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and Series D
Preferred Stock.
