Auction Catalogs are an invaluable reference tool.
Furthermore, they present the reader with the opportunity
to study both the history of the hobby and price trends.
Our collection of catalogs dates back to the 1960's
when a number of "retiring collectors" created their own
auction sales and mailed said "catalogs" to a small group
of collectors across the country.
The Richard Wolfer catalogs from the mid 1980's are wonderfully
illustrated and contain photographs of a number of pieces which
have not been on the public market since they auctioned by Wolfers.
There were also a number companies who briefly entered the baseball
business because they obtained an important collection. These include
a Detroit- based art dealer, http://www.dumouchelle.com/, and
two San Francisco firms whose doors closed back in the early 1990s/
We have well over 500 baseball auction catalogs in our collection.
