Message:: [QUOTE="Ed Snible, post: 4641466, member: 82322"]The red background is unusual.  The only auction catalog I can think of that used a red background were late 1990s catalogs from Harlan Berk (for example, <a href="https://archive.org/details/harlanjberkltd110110harl/page/n39/mode/2up" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://archive.org/details/harlanjberkltd110110harl/page/n39/mode/2up" rel="nofollow">BBS 110</a>).  You could check there.  Most Harlan Berk catalogs can be found on archive.org by searching for "Harlan Berk <number>". You thought SEPT01 was September 2001.  No auctions by firms starting with RO that month.  The trick to identifying auctions, if you know the date, is to type YYYYMMDD into <a href="https://donum.numismatics.org/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://donum.numismatics.org/" rel="nofollow">https://donum.numismatics.org/</a> as an AUCTION DATE search.  September has only 30 days.  It is easy to do 30 searches.  I found <a href="https://donum.numismatics.org/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=163764" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://donum.numismatics.org/cgi-bin/koha/opac-detail.pl?biblionumber=163764" rel="nofollow">Berk 122</a> but the firm was not doing red backgrounds that month.[/QUOTE]
