PRICES REALIZED PROTOCOLBill Daehn has some questions for E-Sylum readers: "Most numismatic literature collectors have many auction catalogs for which they have no Prices Realized List (PRL). Certainly, there were far more catalogs printed than PRLs for most sales. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to easily acquire the PRLs we need to facilitate pricing research? Yet I never see literature dealers offering copies of them. Nor have I seen any offers from collectors to make copies available from their libraries. I presume PRLs are considered to be copyrighted materials, and thus legal and ethical concerns prevent the free exchange of photocopies. I'd like to hear from E-Sylum readers on this topic. Is it unethical/illegal to exchange or sell photocopies of PRLs? Do the dealers who presumably own the copyrights care? If someone lets it be known that they'd make copies of PRLs for E-Sylum readers, would anyone cry "foul"? Or must we quietly seek the copies we need from trusted friends? Opinions please."Wayne Homren, Editor The Numismatic Bibliomania Society is a non-profit organization promoting numismatic literature. See our web site at coinbooks.org.
