Here's a thread I posted about that 1991 Sotheby's auction of the Copeland collection, including some background on James Copeland.

Given the time frame during which he collected, and who reputedly he bought from, one wonders how many of Copeland's cards were trimmed.

I have that Copeland catalog too. I love perusing it from time to time. Nothing graded. Just great stuff page after page.

My first auction catalogue was from Mastro and Steinbach. Seems pretty primitive by today's standard. Still got it.

As a youth I too ordered tons of crazy stuff from the Johnson Smith catalog. Could not wait for those mail days!! I also ordered from the Edmond Scientific catalog.

I'm a sucker for well-put-together catalogs. I have many special ones saved.

Barry Halper's Sotheby's box set is one for the ages.
