Thanks

I've received two copies for what it's worth. Not sure why.

tdfitz

Received mine yesterday.

I also received two copies......I always have received two and I always get two emails from them as well. I only have one mailing address and one email address. Don't know why.

Only 2? I must get 25 during the course of the auction. And once it's over they start spamming for consignments.

They have such nice material in their auctions! But the writing makes it seem like it's Don West pitching you! They are in dire need of an upgrade to the writing of their lot descriptions!

Buy this!
You need this!
Bid strong!
Win it!

Makes me want to get on that 800 number and dial till my fingers burn off!

Help!

I got a promo piece in the mail last week (the Wagner and Mantle on display at a card show), no catalog though.

Any guesses on the Wagner? Its a stunning piece.

marz

any restored cards in there Anthony?

I agree about their copy writer, it is pretty awful. Me and my dad chuckled while reading the catalog all the way home from Chicago.

fiveniner

2 copies here also.Unfortunatley out of my financial ability.

Well, at least the copywriter has a sense of humor. Check out page 88, lot 641, Pete Rose rookie card. "I'm sorry I had so many hits". Too funny!

TheCARDKid

I'm suprised at some of the spelling mistakes they make. They've got a couple thousand dollars worth of "Tatoo Orbits" for auction.

The diamond cut on the Branca Mantle would bother me alot (esp for the money). But don't forget...bid strong!!

Unfortunately I got it today. Very little football and all high end. When is anyone going to sell mid grade football 6's and 7's? Not everyone can afford 8's and 9's......

Haven't received the Memory Lane catalog, but just got my American Memorabilia "Holiday Gift Auction" catalog. Only leafed through about half of it up to this point and see lots of bats and jerseys so far. Hope to catch some nice cards in there at some point.

roastedcat

nope haven't recieved mine either, but I always get it late anyways around a week before the auction ends and I live the closest to them in Irvine. hmmmm.....?

A lot of catalogs are mailed from the printer or mailing house, rather then from the end client. Saves money, especially if sales tax is involved. And a lot of printers are in the midwest, so it takes longer, especially at this time of year.

...and a lot of printers charge by the piece, thus the 2 copies mailed out to everyone. I got my 2 copies in the mail last week too.

I'll bet they maintain a house list of registered bidders and then supplement it with rented lists from SCD or other auction houses, and didn't merge/purge the 2 together. Sloppy and costly.

I just signed up for Memory Lane a couple weeks ago, the only other auction house I'm registered with is Heritage. Received my 2nd Holy Grail catalog yesterday.

ctsoxfan

How about this - I got two copies as well, in the mail today.

TheCARDKid

Finally got it today.

The cover reminds me of "Indiana Jones and the search for the grail".....ML has evidently got the grail.

phreakydancin

I only got one copy!

smallstocks

2 copies here. Great stuff but all the gushy commentary makes me want to puke! Gotta own it!

XanaduNow

Received my copy a few days ago. I've got to agree with whoever pointed out the spelling and gramatical errors. For a catalogue that's supposed to pull in millions of dollars in bids you would think they could run a spell check or have someone that knows how to read slabs write up the commentaries.

Only saw 3 boxing cards in the whole thing No love for the red-headed stepchild of sports cards.

third copy came today!

fandango

no way, your not serious...THREE COPIES?????

SOM

Oh, my God!

I actually found a sentence in the catalog that does not end with an exclamation point!

Page 73 - Lot 505!

I cannot believe my eyes!

Guess the copywriter was due for another hit of meth...

Just a heads-up, if u are registed with SCP, u may receive a second catalogue!

edit: Three Memory Lane catalogs?

Seems like you get on their list once you're there for good, complete with "last chance to bid" emails even if you haven't even
browsed the auction

TWINRON

I got my third copy yesterday. I was compelled to make 3 bids.

ArchStanton

I got three copies on the same day. My wife is in publishing, and she gasped when she saw them. I guess they wasted a lot of money.

SOM

Arch...since your wife is in publishing, I take it she gasped at the quality of the writing in the catalog?

PROMETHIUS88

2 copies, 3 copies, 10 copies.....What difference does it make, you are more than paying for them with the buyers premium!! Good luck to all!!!

roastedcat

Yay! got mine finally!!!

However looking through it, nothing really I want at the moment that I can afford.

We'll anyways will make great bathroom reading!
