As Rare Book Hub categorizes material, the field will contribute their ideas often based on their decades long experience. The ideal outcome for Categories is easy enough to envision, a minimum of 40 categories but the mechanics are complex because auction house process and logic, are often unique with a history of sales, and in many cases, with their underlying notes.
