I don't ever look at them, it's kind of pointless, but I guess most collecting is. The newer brochures are fine, but the ones from the late '80s and early '90s are extraordinary, especially for the S Class each year. I can't imagine what it cost MBUSA to print them.

WHEWWWWWWWWWWWW
For a while there I thought I was the only one afflicted with this "disease."
I have been limiting my collection to brochures for the Benzes I own, or have owned. Also included are teh Benzes that i would like to own some day.
Some of the prices being asked in eBay are crazy.
So now I go to the local Benz dealer (especially the parts department) and take their free brochures. I put them away and hope to sell them some day.
Dave, I like your avatar. Ferocious looking. It fits your personality just fine!!!!
