Vintage card catalogs are trendy and in high demand and are therefore expensive. I am not an antique expert, but the prices I see in antique stores reflect what is on ebay: -$300 on up for stand-alone wooden card catalogs with many drawers. -$50-100 or more for a small unit with just 2 wooden drawers. -Ones with metal drawers are cheaper. Here are the ebay price examples.
