eCats: Interesting and Unpredictable
Anymore it seems like every aspect of the rare paper category is in flux. On line listings work but the responses are a little slower and the prices a bit more negotiable. Printed catalogues are holding their own but the numbers are down just a tad. eCatalogues are coming into their own and are perhaps, for the very minimal cost in time and money involved, showing worthwhile traction. Their success seems assured but the timing of it a function of collector and institutional recognition. So, hey guys! Wake Up. The flow of these catalogues is picking up and many compelling sellers are issuing them.
Here are the most recent 25 posted eCatalogues. If you haven’t started to issue them, today is the day to start.
