2011 Standard Catalog
 

I see that the 2011 Book/doorstop is now available. In recent years, I have been cutting the book apart and throwing away the hundreds of pages of modern junk so as to avoid a hernia from lifting it. Any one else chop up the book? Is there an alternative?

I usually take my new book intact to Kinkos and let them slice the binding off and replace both halves with a nice spiral binder. I will give the "new stuff" part of the book to a collector who can really use it.


Costs about $7

Good idea. A spiral binder would be great. Mine is just held together with duct tape. Great thing is you can slice off about 1200 to 1300 pages.

Haha. Very inventive ideas guys, and effective. That thing is bad for people like me w tendinitis.

I read that they did away with the cd this year. That was the best part! I could slap it in my computer and have it open while checking out cards I was interested in online.

And in talking with Bob, it seems they also cut out all the Jay Publishing photo pack listings a year or so ago. I know they are not big sellers, but the checklist of photos and variations was a great source of information.

I still think they should put out 2 books, pre 70 and post 70. And maybe even offer a cd with EVERYTHING on it. I would gladly pay for just a cd.

I don't buy the catalog every year. I still use the 2006 book and 2008 on cd.
