A second on Cornell. Personally prefer to have a paper copy in hand. I have most of their Stevens reprints and use them all the time to figure out what I have and what I am looking at when making a purchase. Good products and good people.

The Cornell repros have made it affordable to have old catalog info much less expensive. If it's info you're looking for, they're surely a good resource. But they also drug down the values on original catalogs! I've collected old Marlin catalogs for many decades, and recently decided to sell my collection. Many went barely above what I paid for them a couple decades ago!

While the repo's may well have caused the drop in value of original publications, many other things cause collectables to raise and lower in price. The originals still bring a lot more than the reprints.

Absolutely, but not what they used to bring before repros existed in large quantity. There were some random reproductions of old catalogs, but they were few, and at that time they concentrated on also trying to be exacting copies. Now they're shiny covers, and in some cases poorly copied, but prices are cheap.
Twenty years ago an early 1900's Marlin catalog went in the $125+ range in nice shape. Today they're no more than that, and often less.
Yes, other things affect collectables, but in the last 20 years, most are still higher than they were.
