<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Cucumbor, post: 2292368, member: 4298&quot;]The first time I received a printed catalog, I was about 20 years old. It came from a famous dealer (Victor Gadoury, writer and editor of the equivalent here to your &quot;red book&quot;) that I had never bought from previously. At first I&#039;ve been wondering how in hell they&#039;d been able to find me, but on the other hand feeled very privileged (I still have it) as it allowed me to ID properly my first roman coin (the Commodus sestertius I told you about so many times). I think this catalog has a great responsability in my further addiction to ancient coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>No internet back then and printed catalog wern&#039;t cheap, getting them free meant a lot : dealer considering you as a &quot;serious&quot; customer or at least a possible future serious customer (pure speculation at this stage about my person) and beeing part of the happy fews. Privacy has been in my mind just for seconds. It would be <i>very </i>different today</p><p><br /></p><p>Q[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
