Your post office charges for priority boxes?

I cut out the pictures of the cards & put them in plastic sheets and/or top loaders. Best collection of vintage baseball cards on earth.

Sarcasm maybe? Actually sounds like they made a mistake with that issue so they compensated him with the one mailing for free.

I'm sure there are collectors who would want the catalogs with a specific player featured, especially on the cover. There are plenty of player collectors who would want them if even the slightest glimpse of their player is on the cover and some who might even want them if their player is mentioned or photographed within.

I only request them periodically and then they will come for a while and I suspect after they receive no bids from me for a certain period, they stop mailing them out and I am dropped from the list. I might have a dozen or so, some having great covers while others just show a random selection of collectibles on the cover.

I'm the type of collector that mrmopar mentioned above. I really like to collect books, magazines, programs, and even auction catalogs covers w/Brooks pictured (on the front or back). Just makes for a cool display around the room like on a coffee table. I have a few scattered here and there. The new Heritage Auction catalog is an awesome addition to the room.

Another option for some:

Find a drop box to donate your books to BetterWorldBooks

I once had a pile of auction catalogs that resembled Rob's pile, but I put them all in the recycle bin (at my wife's "encouragement") a few years ago. I no longer keep them, with ONE exception, and I'm sure that Leon can guess what this ONE exception is - I wrote all of the final auction prices in it and plan to keep it until I get too old to collect any longer!

My stack is about 4 feet high. Tried to pull out one towards the bottom the other day. It wasn't happening.

I don't know if they still do, but the USPS did issue priority mail envelopes and Express Mail envelopes with the postage pre-printed on them.
