If you don’t want them it is ok to throw them out. After all many are available online.

[T205Guy]

I keep the ones that have historic finds or great eye appeal and donate the rest to my local Salvation Army store for someone else to enjoy.

I've been throwing my old ones out. I live in an apartment, and space is at a premium.

I have pitched a ton of catalogs over the years. Save 'em for awhile then realize they are taking up way too much space. Still have six or seven "Barry Sloate" catalogs from 2005 +/- though. You ran dandy little auctions, Barry.

Thanks David, they were fun. And as I always said, my catalog made an excellent bookmark to use for the larger catalogs.

Beautiful catalogs but I tend to prefer looking at them online. Plus it saves like a half a trees worth of paper. Those Heritage Catalogs are huge.

I too have thrown away most of the catalogs I was harboring. I used to keep catalogs depicting significant finds or cards I sold through the auction...but the internet doesn't take up space in my house...so now many go shortly after I receive them!

hint hint...stop sending them to me!!!!

[frankbmd]

I save catalogs that I never looked at on arrival. Imagine the thrill of ultimately finding something you really want and then the agony of realizing that the auction closed four years ago.

I have a lot of your old catalogs Barry. Still wish you had your auctions, they were ALWAYS enjoyable. It's not the quantity in the catalog, it's the quality!

[barrysloate]

Thanks Fred, but all things must pass.

That's what I thought about Mastro/Legendary until they were all removed.

[bobfreedman]

I generally keep the ones with important pieces or finds but what I also keep Are catalogs that I have won items from. Not a big deal but something I do.

[Copa7]

I agree, it's easier to locate mist items on line. However, it doesnt always stay on the internet and with power outages, hacking and service interruption, my catalog never loses power. Lol

+1. I toss out most of my catalogues also, but I wish I kept more of Legendary ones. Thankfully, I still have some of them.

This is why I hesitate to throw all of them away. I wish that I'd kept more of the Mastro / Legendary catalogs, along with a list of price realized. I know that Heritage has all that info on its data base, and I would find it handy, now and then, to have all that information for myself.

Wasn't there some third-party that had compiled all of the old Mastro/Legendary info along with a number of other auction houses for a pricing research website of some sort?

I finally did it. All my auction catalogs etc. have a new home at recycling ! Now that I finally got rid of them, they will become collectables. Have a lot more room and more muscles carrying these around.

When you look thru these auction catalogs the same cards come up over and over again. Buy-Sell and Buy-Sell again ( the same card ).

Some of the bigger, full page pictures from these catalogs are great for framing.
