Auction Catalogs

[Zebo]

Do you keep your auction catalogs? They pile up quickly and take up a lot of room. If you don't keep them, do you give them away, sell them or trash them?

I keep mine, and try to pick up others that I don't have

I used to keep them, including ones sent to me, all the YN's get them now, as was done for me then...(there are 2 given by E.P. Newman I keep for my own reasons) the vast majority of these catalogs I believe hold an insurmountable abundance of knowledge and accurate statistics...someone actively involved with ANA in the Springs collects them for YN's also, you could contact the great people there and I'm sure it would lead to something...

its time for me to start sorting through mine. U.S. & World catalogs, Domestic and International auction houses.  Even a couple of limited edition hardback catalogs from some of the more pristegious collections.

Primarily keep or try to buy those related to what I collect, such as the Patterson collection sold by Bonham's in 1996.  Also have the Millenia Collection and a few of the hardcover Aureo & Calico.  Used to get a lot of them from any firms.  I dumped most when I moved both in 2011 and last year

I have a few Heritage catalogs that are fun to look at once in a while. They have some great pics of out-of-reach rarities for my pocket.

Ever buy a limited edition hardback catalog? If so - how limited and how prestigious was he collection?

I only collect catalogs for the series in which I collect. No Auction Houses send me catalogs anymore. If I need it, they send it.

used to keep them. Recycle now.
