I don't believe either Sterling or Collector's Connection send any catalogs. I think Scott may have sent stuff years ago for his in person auctions, but that's not what's being referenced.

Same situation. Ive usually gone through the site of the auction house before I receive the catalog, but in almost every auction, I find another item to bid on when the catalog arrives.

I agree. I don't think the auction catalog means much nowadays. Everything is online so it's no longer a big deal. And, the images can be enlarged. The catalogs are still produced because the consigners want them, not the bidders.

My problem is that they are adding up on my shelf space because I cant just throw them out

I almost never look at the physical catalogs, although they are often very nicely put together.

My gripe is when I ask an AH to stop sending them to me and they keep doing it anyway.

I've had a similar experience. In the winter, I use them to start the fireplace, in the summer they go directly into recycling. I have usually been through the auction long before I get the catalog.
