What to do with a hundred or more Heritage Catalogs?

I have about a 6'+ stack of mostly Heritage catalogs (a few Lynn Knight's, Stacks, etc). Mostly from the last dozen years or so, a couple from around 1983. We're downsizing so away they go. I hate to toss them, but shipping costs are prohibitively high.
Any ideas?
I used to be somebody, now I'm just a coin collector.

Recycle them.
all around collector of many fine things
Local coin clubs sometimes will take them, they can be given out free at coin shows. Libraries don't want them. I gave a bunch to a used book store, a year later they told me "no interest." Keep your favorites, some may have value in time.
In the past I have kept a few favorites and dropped the rest off in recycling.

The guy with that photo stole the words right out of my mouth!
The only fuel or effort you should waste on them, right there!
I'll bring the beer if you bring the pizza.
Seriously, I would donate them to a local club or show...….YN's would really appreciate them.

Cut out the best large color images and make a virtual coin collection. Before the Internet, they were a good source for comparison specimens.
Loved the catalogs but felt guilty tossing a pile of them every couple of months. Probably had them discontinued 2005 or so.
They go into the dumpster at my daughter's apartment complex.
You could go through them and see if any are big name sales that might be worth shipping, else recycle. Go to Bryce Brown's website and scan his lists to see if any in your date range are worth more.
At the very least recycle them. Preferably take them to a coin show or dealer....someone will want some of them....
Take a class at ANA Summer Seminar and give them to the library. I think David Sklow will take them to put in the book sale.

Most YNs in our club hate the paper catalogs. They use the internet. I've recycled every catalog donation tip or Junior coin club in the last 10 years. The kids won't take them.
Post them on Alibaba, I bet the forgers can use them to make some new fakes. Peace Roy

I have no use for them.... I know some people collect them....I have enough issue with real reference books filling up my library...Cheers, RickO
I've taken a bag or two to my local monthly show, place them on the info table just outside the door, and they are gone by the time I leave.
A few years ago and before most were digitized on the Newman Numismatic Portal I batched them by year/auction company and sold them on eBay. I had tons from the 1960s through the 1990s from just about every major auction house. Some even sold to Numismatic authors who were probably using them for research. Probably wouldn't work now with most available on-line.
it's crackers to slip a rozzer the dropsy in snide
I save the ones from sales of famous collections like Eliasberg (don't have that one)
The rest go in the recycling bin.

I'd gladly pay shipping on this one before you burn em...
The catalogs are also great to cover the floor under puppy training pads when you have a new pet.
Time for a new hobby. Go build a 6' tall vase.
I'd like to know, since I have to make room.
Ugh, too many

I will pay shipping too on some of yours I sort of collect them for my bathroom library! I will pm you
See if you have any missing from the NNP database. If you do, send them to NNP. If not, recycle the lot.
I would list them and see what you can get for them.
This set of 3 just sold for $22 not bad overall

I feel your pain - just recycled a box of them that went bad in the furnace room - a little water goes a long way!
I will bring the s’mores

For the common ones, you can use the pages as packing material.
Recycling is also an option.
