Model Catalogs - Any value / interest?

Question

Came across a stack of catalogs that my uncle had saved over the years. Any value or interest in these catalogs or do I just put them in the burn barrel? They are mint and in plastic sleeves.

Thanks.

I'd love the one each of the AMT '62 catalogues. You can contact me at the verizon address if you're interested. I started building model cars in '62 so they would definitely be of interest.

i can't believe you make that ASSumption. i was waiting to hear what he wanted for the lindberg.i never ASSume there's a free lunch.so don't judge me by your values.

maiesm72 · Answer

And I asked him what he was looking for with the intention of making a good trade.

Accusing people of trying to rip someone off isn't a real good idea when you don't have a clue.

At this point an appology, along with your real name, "Beaver", would be called for. I don't think that we'll get either from someone who appears to be no more than plonk bait.
