Re: price lists and auction catalogs:

We use an archival tape called Filmoplast to tape them into the back cover.
So far I have not seen evidence of biodegradation though we have been using
this tape for 8 or 9 years. We don't trim the price lists but attach them
horizontally and fold them if they are too large for the catalogs.
