<p>[QUOTE="Ken Dorney, post: 2618608, member: 76086"]Honestly I think the question is too broad. Each collector buys and uses references which are specifically geared towards their own individual tastes. What one may find of use will be useless to another. It might be that you should rephrase the question with some more specifics. What series, what time frame, metals, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>As a dealer I followed the same path a lot of others have (as that is what we were all told to do), and I built a large and comprehensive library. A few years back I looked at all these books. Most of them I never opened or even used. Why have 50 antiquated books on one topic when they are all rendered useless by, say, Sear? I'm not a book collector, so I sold them all off (not surprisingly they sold for pennies on the dollar for what I paid).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
