<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3113429, member: 19463&quot;]This is a problem.&nbsp; I have boxes full in the attic that formed much of my coin education but have not been seen for 20 years.&nbsp; I have the best 20 feet worth on a shelf in my home but I share book space with my wife so that is what I get.&nbsp; At some point, I or my heirs, will be faced with a choice.&nbsp; Do we put them in the recycle bin where the county will take them for free or do we pay the post office to take them to someone who might care?&nbsp; Postal increases have redefined the meaning of the word free.&nbsp; I know you might want to pay postage for the ones I am not ready to give away yet but there is serious question about where the line is drawn between worth it and not.&nbsp; The local library had a sale last week where books were a dollar and magazines a dime.&nbsp; If I had donated a set of RIC and some antique coin magazines, they would not have sold.&nbsp; Books are only of value when in a hand that values them.&nbsp; Where I live, a political pundit&#039;s hate volumes would sell well.&nbsp; Scholarly numismatics, not so much. </p><p><br /></p><p>My catalog holding is a small percentage of one of our number.&nbsp; I hope he will post the link to his website.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
