<p>[QUOTE="nicholasz219, post: 4520833, member: 75641"][USER=112660]@MSG 78[/USER] I very much like the idea of keystone sales. I think that you will find that collections organized around a theme and promoted correctly will do just fine. I try to stretch and participate in name auctions even when my budget really shouldn’t allow it. I would be happy to see collections in my field offered online fairly regularly and I think many others would be too. As you probably have seen from all of the responses there is a substantial group of collectors who are willing to pay the juice and associated costs if given a chance to purchase quality coins within or even a bit above their price range.</p><p><br /></p><p>One note about auction catalogs is that I get some but then I don’t get the ones that I really want and I have to navigate customer service departments etc. to try and find one usually after the fact. Is it possible to organize each sale’s lots in a pdf that could be printed on demand in an actual glossy paper copy? I’m sure printing and associated costs are not fun but if you passed it off and made it an item to be ordered (and of course printed for the consignor and worthy clients) it may boost the participation in keystone auctions, increase consignor and collector satisfaction and provide excellent research material at low cost to CNG. </p><p>For example if Doug sold his collection I would hopefully win one coin but also want a catalog to place it in context of his whole collection. I know you can purchase catalogs from houses for $25-50, but I’m sure participation is never what it could be. $20 for a print on demand nice enough version would be fun and a no brainer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
