What were the major pattern auctions, aka which catalogs should I track down?

One major auction was the Bass pattterns. It was, as I recall, a Bowers and Merena auction but I don't recall precisely when it was...perhaps around 1999 or so?

Heritage had a big pattern auction on January 11 2009.

I am sure that the pattern experts will soon arrive with a lot more information.

R.E. Cox Stacks 4/62
Gaston DiBello Stacks 5/70
Thomas Bergin Stacks 6/1984
River Oaks BR 11/76
William R. Sieck BR 8/81
Rogers Fred BM 11/1995
Bass BM 5/99
Morris Evans BM 8/98
Garrett A must have buy the boxed 5 catalog set Stacks 3/76 then Bowers and Ruddy 4 sales from 1979-1981
Eliasberg BM 5/96

These are some of my favorites. Then the recent Heritage sales Jones Beach FUN 2007 and Lemus FUN 2009 but both are available online in the Heritage archives.

No Lemus??

For small cents, the Cincinnati 1977 sale by Stacks is a good one too, although few were plated.

The 1971 ANA by Stack's is also a good one for cent patterns. Cataloged by Walter Breen.

Pittman also had a pattern or three.

If I recall correctly, the Pittman patterns were in the first sale, 10/1997

Yes, you are correct. I distinctly remember the 1916 Walking Liberty Half Dollar pattern, and I believe he also had a pattern of a Mercury dime.
