Mailman just dropped mine off a short time ago.

Wow. Some really amazing stuff.

Wow. I like the 71 Football wax box and the 74 baseball wax box. Some great singles too for sure.

Massive catalogue! LOL!

I love the '74 baseball box too and that '78 set is a very nice one I wish I had.

I received one two days ago. I've never signed up to bid or have done any business with them yet. I was paranoid that it was something from work! Lol. Amazing things in there for sure. I wonder how they acquired my address to send me one, not that it matters. It's been fun to look at, I couldn't believe how big and heavy it was.

Still surprises me that they continue to produce these...seems like a big expense when everything can be seen online...by the time the book comes to my house I already have in my first bids and everything scoped out online..pretty sweet book though.

yes its all online...but to sift thru hundreds and hundreds of pages online then trying to flip back and forth..ugh.....i am like you and have most of my bids prior but I've def found items i missed online when sifting thru the book...bottom line...for me the hardcopy def has resulted in more business, more dollars for them...easily enough to cover the cost of the book.

I'm not looking a gift horse in the mouth...many would pay good money for such a book...try christys, sothebys et al..im all about customer service and hate to be nickel and dimed. Just like heritage auctions, rea does it right. Ill end up spending thousands of dollars more for a ten dollar gesture.

its a even a nice coffee table book that guests enjoy looking thru.

My son is looking through now, so I have to agree!!!

They do make great reference guides, too.

Insane auction and some very strong bidding out of the gate! Fascinated to see where the M101-6 Ruth and the Frederick Foto Ruth wind up, in addition to the big premier lots.

The bidders are the ones really paying for these catalogs in the end, not REA. And they sure are spectacular catalogs!

I'm old school I guess, or maybe my eyesight ain't what it used to be, but I prefer sifting through a catalog at my leisure over and over again, although I sprained my wrist with this REA one. I think I miss some of the on line auctions due to my work schedule because I don't have time to hunt around on the internet. A catalog, on the other hand, sits on my coffee table every night until the auction is over.

And I usually end up spending more money in a catalog auction than an on line only auction as a result.

my catalog arrived today. I have something to keep me busy during timeouts tonight
