    AUCTION CATALOG PEEVES

    Henry Bergos writes: "Just a quick comment on your "Pet
    Peeves". I collect numismatic book auctions. I have almost
    none from The Katens -- their catalogues were by consignor
    and NOT indexed. They are basically useless for research.
    No one has the time to go through them to get any info out.

    Regarding getting coin prices from catalogs; I basically "feel
    out the market" at shows. I use Numismatic News trends
    and "The Gray Sheet". If I can't buy at those rates I increase
    what I am willing to pay. A few years ago I was offered a
    coin that I WOULDN'T pay more than $900 for. The dealer
    told me to look at the population report; I GLADLY paid
    $1050. The market also has to take availability into
    consideration. When will the next one come on the market?
    Only experience will tell any of us that."
