[QUOTE="Carausius, post: 4518188, member: 76440"]I think there's more to it than that. The printed catalogues form a continuous, written record of the firm's sales. I am a provenance hound. Unfortunately or fortunately (depending on viewpoint), provenance has become a very important part of our hobby. So it should come as little surprise that I support the continued printing of paper catalogues.
