[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 1058982, member: 112"]While it is true that as long as you bid on items from the various auction houses you will continue to get their catalogs delivered free, it is also true that once you stop bidding the catalogs will stop coming soon enough. But catalogs are and always have been one of the most valuable resources there is for a numismatist. So to many, it is well worth the annual subscription price just to get the catalogs. To others, they aren't worth a dime. But I will say this. Over the course of my life coin books and auction catalogs have never once decreased in value, they only increase in value year after year, decade after decade. While coins on the other hand, go up and down in value like a yo-yo. Do you know why that is ? It's quite simple, it's because knowledge is the most valuable thing there is to a numismatist and it always will be ;) So I will forever and always encourage everyone to get your hands on every coin catalog that you can.[/QUOTE]
