Jay Parrino's catalog

[tb]

Just wanted to recommend JP's catalog (got it for free for winning one

of his auctions). I thought Heritage's catalog was great, but JP's is in

a totally different league from anything I've ever seen. Most of it is

devoted to coins and currency, but about 25% is on ultra high quality

comics. Although I know very little about currency, those sections

were just as interesting to read. Almost everything he sells is $5,000

to > $1 mio. and a full page is devoted to most items. The descriptions

are elaborate, well written, and very interesting. Well worth the $50 if

you like to read about "the best and the finest".

I like the cd-rom Heritage hands out which JP has not in the past. If I move, I toss out the old Heritage catalogs but keep the cd-roms with me.

Well I guess if you like looking at pictures of money it is incredible fun. And i wonder what fool or nut would pay $50 for that catalog. I get them free also as I have wonstuff from him but $50 for a catalog is a waste. Not to mention the insane prices - I think lots of people refer to his stuff as a museum collection since he doesn't have much priced to sell. But I guess if you are in that league where you can pretty much give money away then it it great.

I should think his catalogue is great. I recently won a CGC book from one of his Ebay auctions - Shipping cost to Canada $32.00 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I won a book off of eBay a month or two ago and received along with it a copy of "Jay Parrino's The MINT 2002 Millennium Catalog".

 

It's full of incredible comics for sale. Consists of 155 pages....with the first 112 pages devoted completely to comics and the rest of it full of original comic art and movie posters/sports. It is truly incredible to see all of these high-end books in full color. Many from the Mile High/Edgar Church collection.

 

There wasn't any coins or currency in this particular catalog.
