I have been reading and do appreciate your feedback. Let me comment.

Some of you may roll your eyes but to many our sale catalogs have become somewhat of a collectors item as well as a great reference tool. I would love to see a show of hands how many of you throw them away after a sale? I would dare say very few.

Although we have tried to reduce the fluffy language in our catalogs on run of the mill material like 1956 Topps Mickey Mantle cards, providing a historical context for many of the items we feature is one element of our "secret sauce" that has led to our success.

Remember on this forum the majority of the contributors are advanced hobbyists. If not in the financial level of your collecting, most definitely in your experience. These detailed historical descriptions actually spur on a lot of the fresh blood in the hobby to take notice and pay more. The catalog and internet presentation is an inducement to buy. This being said our goal is to the present the material in the best light possible which includes high quality images, detailed descriptions and proper grades.

Thanks again for the feedback.
