<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2545958, member: 19463"]My favorite from the early days was Charles H. Wolfe but I got some from Joel Malter from the days when Bruce McNall worked for him so I really don't know who I was talking/writing to. Colosseum was bit later but productive as was Frank Robinson who is still supplying my habit. I still have several boxes of lists/catalogs including some I almost never bought from and could never understand why they sent the things. I often saw a type I wanted in a Malloy catalog (famous for poor photos on newsprint) but we rarely agreed on prices. In addition to the cheap lists I bought from I was given several beautiful European auction catalogs by rich friends in the DC club. I still enjoy looking at some of them but then as now I was not a likely buyer from any. The last catalogs I got were from Stacks from whom I bought some coins but most of their catalogs were for US coins and were hardly looked at. I never have been a businessman but never understood how people could make money mailing me catalogs. I'm glad they did but I bought from so many different people that none made much to cover postage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
