<p>[QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1658380, member: 66"]I would also recommend copies of the Dan Holmes I and Dan Holmes II catalogs. They are not expensive (Less than the books will cost) and you won't regret getting them. If you do regret it let me know, I don't mind having back up copies of good reference sale catalogs. I'm on my second Robbie Brown sale catalog and my third copy of the Jack Robinson sale. Both by Superior Galleries. I already have two copies of all four Dan Holmes sales but I would not be adverse to having more back up copies. (It is that good, not ideal but GOOD. Ideal would be the Robbie Brown or Jack Robinson descriptions with the Dan Holmes pictures. The RSB and JR sales pictured every variety and gave the diagnostics for each one. They also listed what other varieties that did could be found on and in what sequence. But the pictures while being good for their day were actual size and and could not be enlarged. Fine grain half-tones. What can you say, we are talking mid 80's. The Dan Holmes pictures are enlarged, high quality and in color.)</p><p><br /></p><p>p91, you should have a PM from me telling you where you might be able to pick up the catalogs. He has a copy of the Jack Robinson catalog too. They are a lot cheaper now. He has it estimated at $8, I used to buy them for $35.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh and if you like the large cents and half cents I DO recommend that EAC membership. The quarterly publication is excellent, and every two years (so far) the club provides each member with a free DVD of the complete set of back copies of Penny-Wise, the club journal. PDF format, searchable, over 13,000 pages of information on half cents, large cents, colonials, and the occasional Conder token, hard times tokens, or Civil War token.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
