<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2381293, member: 19463&quot;]Cheap old me has no problem with this since I consider the prices a joke in many cases anyway BUT I will have to decide if I want a Premium Membership for the other new feature.&nbsp; They say they are digitizing pre 1999 auction catalogs and have already done the ones they have before 1930&#039;s.&nbsp; The are also asking for people to donate old catalogs for them to digitize.&nbsp; I have no idea if this is a destructive process or if they can return catalogs (postage being an issue since they are in Europe).&nbsp; Today, can not see paying 85 Euros a year but this would be a better use of the money than those people doing specimen searches for similar fees if they had a good set of illustrated sales from the previous century. </p><p><br /></p><p>I really do not care about the realizations for every common aureus of the usual suspects and have access to enough of them via other resources to give a good idea.&nbsp; However, I would love to see any records of, for example, Alexandria tetradrachms of Julia Domna sold between 1900 and 1999 not to see the prices but to see the coins and find out if the ones I have have relatives out there.&nbsp; I know many of you are more interested in prices that I am but I remain hopeful that this new feature will grow into what I want (like all the NFA catalogs, early Malter price lists or a thousand others).&nbsp; It will be a long time until they will get a reasonable coverage of the old books but starting is better than saying it won&#039;t ever happen.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
