Nope. That's how they taught it 40+ years ago. Even if it is now relegated to secondary status in the dictionary, I still spell it that way.

Yes, I still want them. They form the basis of a good hobby library to me. And believe it or not, I prefer to not be in front of the computer all the time. I travel a great deal for work and enjoy taking them on the plane, to hotels, etc. Much more so than a laptop or I Pad.

From my point of view it depends whther I am buying for my collection or to break up and resell. For my collection I enjoy online to get the higher resolution scans. When I am looking to buy to break up I like the catalog for a quick guide to card numbers and names.

I opted out of receiving the Huggins and Scott catalog for 2 reasons. First the selfish reason of getting a credit toward my next purchase. Secondly to go green !! I am sure if I need a list I can print it out.

Most of them I throw away the same day I receive them.

I'll flip through Hunt page by page very quickly because their site sucks so bad.

agreed, definitely helps to have a catalog with them.

For an auction with smaller volume, online is fine for me...but with larger auctions I definitely rely on the print version because sometimes I miss things...as a matter of fact looking at the REA catalogue I noticed one lot had additional cards listed that I had overlooked initially.
