O/T: What to do with old Auction Catalogs?

[JLange]

I'm trying to pare down my "reference libary" of old auction catalogs. I am having a hard time parting with them, but they take up so much space! I am just wondering what do others do with their catalogs, and if there is a better way to go about this. Do you cut out some images, and throw the rest away? Do you scan the pages? Do you pitch 'em right after the auction? After a few years these things can really pile up.

I just keep them all.

best reference material, even better than some guides.

especially if you write the final bids next to the item..... to use later as a price guide.

I have over 100 going back 25 years.

The only thing better in life than receiving an auction catalog is receiving a free auction catalog.

I recycle all of mine after completion of the auction.

that last legendary catalog with those beautiful photos of Conlon, Thompson, et al will be a keeper forever.
when i win, i keep the catalog---when i don't, it's easier to toss.

best,
