   ALEXANDER ARTICLE ON AUCTION CATALOGS 

   David T. Alexander of Stack's has an article titled: 
   "Numismatic Auctions: 20th Century Auction Catalogs 
   Collectible in their Own Right."   The article gets 
   our vote for best adjectival description of a coin 
   dealer:  "a bumptious young immigrant from Russian 
   Lithuania, B. Max Mehl." (no doubt sending nearly 
   everyone but George Kolbe to their dictionaries).
