Just curious / Auction catalogs

[Steve D]

I greatly prefer to not get them. Each one clogs up my mail box; one REA catalog, and nothing else will fit, except maybe a postcard. Plus, I need a back brace to carry it across my apartment complex.

I used to collect auction catalogs. The bigger the better. But, the novelty wore off. Plus the fact certain auction houses now refuse to send me catalogs, because I never bid high enough to win anything.

If you surveyed this topic on the Memorabilia side, the response would be different. Hard-copy catalogs and visual presentation is more important and conducive to a wide array of memorabilia than cards.

I'm sure many people would still prefer to forego paper catalogues, but you'd also have a significantly higher percentage that like/want them.

I just came off a 3 hour flight that was made much more enjoyable by having the Mile High and LOTG Catalogs in the seat pocket!

Love getting them

I'm split on getting catalogs. When they are done well, I love getting them. REA, LOTG, HA, etc provide a great resource when not at the computer. I can get good idea of the item, a bit of background, and can actually decide if it something I'm interested in. On the other hand, the ones done poorly and only show a 1" image of the card and just the minimum bid such as Hunts, Collect, Clean Sweep do nothing for me. I can't make a decision based on the information provided so I don't even bother opening them. Also, whichever one (Memory Lane? Mile High?) has all the tabs along the side annoys me for some reason.

I mainly keep the big dogs (Heritage, REA) and trash the rest.
