Pages are soft and numerous and, although the reduced-size catalog format is perhaps not so convenient as roll, they could be used. I think it's still the primer for those of us who have little experience identifying, buying and trading. The Big Dogs know it isn't the breaking story or they wouldn't be shouting "What News from the Auction House?" The BB has impressed on me the notion that very few guns ever drop below 85% condition, or put another way, lots of dealers and private sellers are scanning that column for an optimistic valuation. Finding that my safe contains so many "85%s" is not a great source of satisifaction but certainly an indication of what the market will bull.
