CNG 71 was Triton IX (CNG alone) (2006, Jan. 10) in two volumes. Volume 1 is the BCD collection of coins of  Greek Boiotia (Boeotia), which includes Thebes. This is now the definitive catalog for this region of Greece, superceding the BMC catalog. With outstanding commentary, it is far more than just a sale catalog.  MV. MQP. 630 lots in B&W (not color), with some enlargements.
    Boiotia, Boeotia (630)
   Volume 2 of Triton IX (2006, Jan, 10-11) is HV, HQP, with 1043 ancients among 1694, all in color, many with one-sided enlargements. 20 Celtic, 14 ancient Britain, 220 G, 50 Alexander II, 54 early G electrum and gold, 57 Seleukid, 8 Jewish, 4 Arabia, 15 Ptolemies, 21 Parthia, 27 Baktria, 72 India, 31 Sasanian, 12 Huns, 114 RR, 249 RI, 2 DA, 57 Byz.

Leu 96  (2006, May 8-9) MV. HQP. "Coins of Peloponnesos, The BCD Collection." Hardcover. 423 pages. 1775 lots of ancients from the Greek Peloponnesos. B&W photos. Only a few enlargements. This is the definitive catalog which supercedes BMC by far. It is far more than a sale catalog -- it is the most thorough and up-to-date catalog with extensive commentary from two great scholars (BCD and ASW). It does not include coins of Corinth (the BCD collection was sold in Lanz 105 which is an essential reference for Corinth) and the selection from Olympia/Elis is very good, but not complete because most BCD pieces were sold in Leu 90 (listed above).  A separate index is available, here.
