I posted a version of this list in the advice for a new collector thread but thought it might be interesting on its own.
I do a lot of research online and use the following resources.
What do you use? What do you feel you cannot get online?

The first six (up to Heritage auctions) listed in the OP, NNP on occasion, ANS website and Sixbid.
This is a great thread for all forum members, but can be of special help to our new members with questions. There was a similar thread years ago listing resources and dealers... Cheers, RickO
Thank you @Zions for the listing .... very useful to me as well
Excellent list! Thanks for posting it for all to use.
I use the following on-line resources:
LOL
Delete
Scroll
Block
.....that's about it
Can this thread be stickied for all members (especially new collectors/YNs) to use for reference? You know, teach a man to fish...
Give someone a reference and they'll have knowledge for a lifetime.
Cheers

I use most of the resources already listed but I find PCGS Coin Facts to particularly useful.

There is never too much information. Adding this thread... https://forums.collectors.com/discussion/1006619/sticky-this-book-index-books-to-read-on-numismatic-series-and-varieties

I type everything into Google first and look to see what it searches. Then I use pretty much everything you mentioned
@Zoins I also use civilwartokens.com I really wish more research material would go digital as it would be awesome
to see online research material instead of books. You can take it everywhere on kindle & mac's version.

In addition to all the rest here except the adult stuff, I check out dealer web sites.
How can it be that nobody mentioned www.VAMWorld.com?
It appears as though most people would rather just come here and start a "What Vam is this" thread?
CDN, CPG, Kitco, TPG price guide, TPG verify, Coin Facts.
I do research on die varieties of Liberty Seated Half Dimes, and I use many of the same:
Note: I downloaded and saved stuff above, because sometimes things disappear from the internet, and because I merge things like photos on my PC.
Some of the stuff I cannot get online is OK, because I have fun constructing it myself, such as rosters of the best coins for each die variety.
