<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ken Dorney, post: 2295918, member: 76086&quot;]As a dealer of many years I have always tried to properly reference all of my offerings but only to those publications which are actually relevant.&nbsp; But many of the &#039;big&#039; dealers seem to continually use references which are in some instances nearly 100 years out of date.&nbsp; Why would anyone reference to Cohen or BMC for example?&nbsp; I get part of it, some publications were updated with newer things over others and there is a very tiny overlap, but why on earth reference to a publication few even have, never will have, nor will have the ability to check it for themselves?&nbsp; I&#039;ve been seeing some big dealers now referencing to student publications and studies which nobody but them has even heard of.&nbsp; What is the purpose of this?&nbsp; Does it add value for the collector?&nbsp; If so, why?&nbsp; Is it simply a feather in the cap for a big dealer to show everyone that they have a library nobody else has nor will ever have (nor will ever read for that matter)?&nbsp; Just a random thought this evening.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
