<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1852635, member: 112&quot;]I used to get catalogs for free from most major auctions houses, and yes I always kept them. Catalogs are invaluable source material and an important part of any numismatic library. And if I was lucky enough to find special older catalogs that I wanted, I would buy them. </p><p><br /></p><p>But since I no longer collect coins I no longer get free catalogs, nor do I look to buy them anymore because of their expense. Given my situation that is no longer an option for me. But, I still do study coins every day, and I often use my library. Not only for me, but to help others who are doing research or trying to learn. Several of my catalogs are even being used as I help a friend write a book.</p><p><br /></p><p>And yes, many of my books and catalogs are valuable. And unlike coins they never go down in price, they only go up in price. But their real value is the knowledge and information they contain. A single coin book that may cost hundreds of dollars, can save you thousands when it comes to buying coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
