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!!!!

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.

Frank- some of those auctions you think may have ended four years ago might still be going on, as a result of heavy bidding.

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!

Thanks Fred, but all things must pass.

recycled mine unless I sold something in the auction.

, probably around 1967 or '68 , my Uncle Sylvester threw away a National Geographic Magazine , after he and my cousins had read it two or three times.

..we still talk about it at family gatherings....

I just moved and seriously thought several times that I could die of a heart attack while carrying box after box of catalogs out of the basement to the curb for recycling pickup. I could just never bring myself to toss them over the years, they are so beautiful and full of great stuff, plus I had the space in the basement. But it's just not very smart to save them and let them pile up for no particular purpose when someday somebody's going to have to go to a lot of trouble to dispose of them. My God, those things are heavy, even a small box of them!
