Stacks & Bowers catalogs anyone?

We received a USPS alert of an inbound Priority Mail shipment. I had not ordered anything recently so I was intrigued. What showed up was about 10 pounds worth of Stacks catalogs. While gorgeous (and expensive), I was surprised to receive them. Anyone else get these?

Can you imagine how much it costs to research, write, print and mail those catalogs?
Same thing happened to me. A forgotten art, these catalogs. With everything online, it seems like a useless, yet noble gesture.

Well, they were beautiful before I drooled all over them.
@291fifth - I imagine the BP on the 1896-S Morgan in MS69 will cover the cost of a lot of catalogs.
typically, the only way you get these is to actually order them or consign to a sale. did you do either??

Nope, neither. I have purchased a couple of mid-level Morgans this year but that is the extent of my activity with S&B
Well that's a pleasant surprise. Must be great to have all those HQ images to reference. Peace Roy

"291fifth"....I have a pretty good idea.
I'm working on one of those catalogs tonight and will be viewing the coins in person on Friday. I don't get to do that much these days, so looking forward to it!

I still keep mine. I like to imagine I'll use the print when I have more time in retirement.
Less than 20% of hammer, I'm guessing.
