I received a Heritage catalog in the mail this week for the upcoming Long Beach show, and it was nearly 600 pages. Absolutely massive. Is this typical of their big auctions? What do the community members usually do with these, save them for future reference? Report this Post to the Staff

I don't get the Heritage catalogs, but I do get a few others. I stopped saving them years ago so they go right in the recycling bin when I'm done drooling over the pics.

commems CCF Master Historian of USA Commemoratives United States 12256 Posts	Posted 02/11/2018 6:09 pm If the catalog has a particularly nice collection of the coins and/or medals I collect, I keep the catalog in my library and use it for future research/reference. If there's nothing of special interest, I either bring to my local coin club and offer it to others or bring it to my club's annual coin show and put it out for others to take. Some catalogs offer a wealth of information about the coins being auctioned and are great educational resources. Collecting history one coin or medal at a time! (c) commems. All rights reserved.

Yes - Heritage usually has 8-10 monster sales per year. In MANY cases you can buy there, even with the 20% vig, for less than on ebay. Report this Post to the Staff
ron6788 Pillar of the Community United States 655 Posts	Posted 02/19/2018 11:10 am I get these as well. Last month, I got so many for FUN, that they sent me a box. My conclusion on what's the best thing to do with them? Read them. Seriously. Browse through them to see if there's anything you may want or need. I've surprised myself this way a few times. Otherwise, all that printing expense will just be wasted. After the auction, I toss them. Report this Post to the Staff
