Are the Eliasberg catalogs on-line somewhere in one place?

It would be nice. I can't seem to find them on a regular internet search or the NNP. Any suggestions?

Doesn't the Eric P. Newman Foundation have a huge offering of auction catalogs on line? Those catalogs should be up there. I have those sales in hard bound books that the auction houses sold at the time.
These were never included on the NNP. I wish they were. I have copies of all 3 sales, but I like the searching capabilities of NNP.
Newman Portal has reached out to the rights holder for the Bowers & Merena catalogs, but no agreement has been reached. Naturally we'd love to be able to post them.
That's too bad. I can't see any advantage to the holder of the B&M rights to withholding them from use.
I agree, I am really enjoying the NNP, and was surprised they weren't on there. But everything of value is always a negotiation
The world gold sale is available on the NNP, as is the 2010 "Eliasberg Jr" sale.
The NN sale with Eliasberg duplicates also is.
The Heritage sales including encased postage, world silver, and fractional gold, probably also others would be on their site. I believe they were in early 2007.
The H R Lee sale is also up at the NNP.
The 1982 US gold sale is included in the NNP, but is currently not accessible to the public. The 1996 and 1997 sales are not online anywhere AFAIK.
I frankly don't understand the B&M copyright issues. Given that the ANR, Stack's and StB sales were Newman'ed, I would think that would also include at least part of the B&M corpus, at least those under the same current but pre-merger structure. But copyright can get rather weird.
