and I have not seen a catalog, online or bound. Has anyone received a catalog?

    Have not seen it - I keep checking the web site and all they have up is that mineral sale.

    I am chomping at the bit, Longacre style, waiting to see the Uhrich collection.

    I was hoping someone would just give us the 3 digit number.

    I'm in a frenzy over this news. I don't have it either.

    Longacre – Not to worry. I used the exorbitant profits from my research books and placed a single bid for the entire catalog. Although there won’t be an auction, I trust they will still have the complimentary buffet and wine.

    Nope, the last Stacks catalog I got was from the Americana Sale Jan 15/16

    If you go over to the Bowers and Merena web site, they're still reminding everyone that the consignment deadline for their Baltimore sale is January 20th.... image

    I don't think they have secret previews anymore. In any case, I couldn't find it.

  • Lately their auctions have gone online two weeks before the event.

    Stacks is missing the boat by not having their upcoming auctions viewable as they are working on them like Heritage does.

    It's about time that someone else come along and give Heritage a run for their money. image

    Methinks you might have a long wait before that happens...

    I got the main page up for the auction, but after that their is nothing. How can stacks not see that this is hurting their auctions and probable consignments?
    Want to buy an auction catalog for the William Hesslein Sale (December 2, 1926). Thanks to all those who have helped us obtain the others!!!

    I like that Norton note on the cover! There are three of them in the sale along with a really cool action shot of Emperor Norton on a busy San Francisco street. Those were the only lots I catalogued for this sale but they were fun.

    One of the Nortons, the rare final type, is one of the last ones he ever issued before his death and actually has a contemporary notation on the back reporting his death date and "deceased." So much for cashing it in for 50 cents in specie on that one.

    Call them up and ask, they're used to it by now.
    Some refer to overgraded slabs as Coffins. I like to think of them as Happy Coins.

    What's more surprising is consignors keep coming back for more.
