I didn't question the lunacy of that at the time, but ... that was within the last 12 months or so.

Just as an FYI, Huggins & Scott Auctions (who I work for) gives a $10 credit per auction to "go green" and not receive the printed copy. Here are the details....

Hey, if you not going to save the trees for baseball bats, then why bother.


(just kidding of course, but I still enjoy thumbing through the hard copies)

I'm old fashioned, I prefer the catalogs.

I go thru them over and over again with my morning coffee.

I always end up spending more money when I have the catalog.

Hi Mike,

I can assure you that it was not Heritage that responded regarding rescinding bidding rights just because you requested to stop receiving our catalogs. With all the different areas of collectibles we offer, asking for or to stop getting catalogs happens. If anyone would like to help save trees or is simply fine without one, please email me directly at peterc@ha.com and I’d be happy to take care of it.

As always, if there are any Net54 members that would like to receive a free catalog, then just email me and I'll make sure one is mailed out.

Thank you,

Peter

Got some many catalogs on my bookcase over the last 2 yrs, afraid the shelving is gonna break. Have to sit down and do some 'burning' of sorts.
At first i didnt notice the cover page actually was little images of baseball cards, pretty neat!

I couldn't wait to open the box. Felt like Steve Martin in the "Jerk" when he got the phone book and his name was in it. I felt like running around the house shouting "I'm somebody, my name is in the book"

Actually my name is not in the book but my collection is. After 5 years of building a 58' set (thanks to my fellow board members for helping me) it's proudly displayed for sale. Now all I can do is wait to see if I break even or not.
