FINDING HOMES FOR AUCTION CATALOGS

NBS President Pete Smith writes: "I probably have 1,000 auction
catalogs that have no value for my research. I have decided that
I would rather have the space than the catalogs. How can I pass
these on to someone who will appreciate them?

The numismatic literature dealers don’t want them. I see catalogs
on E-Bay offered at $.99 each with $3.95 for shipping. I don’t see
anyone being successful selling catalogs at those prices. Just the
cost of shipping 1000 catalogs somewhere would be quite an expense.

I don’t want to throw catalogs in the dumpster but I haven’t figured
out an alternative that makes economic sense. What do E-Sylum readers
have for suggestions?"
