The 2015 REA Catalog Anticipation and Delivery Thread

[frankbmd]

Now the 2014 Spring Auction has concluded. The winners have been determined and the catalogs have become obsolete. What's next? Post past auction depression for which there is no cure, so...............

this thread will serve as a bridge, if you will, to next year's Spring Auction. Don't be at all ashamed if you are one of the members, who goes to the mailbox tomorrow looking for the 2015 catalog. You can post your disappointment here by simply saying "I haven't got mine yet." Of course in threads of this nature your location will help other members determine the vagaries of postal distribution.

Additional benefits will accrue as a result of this thread.

We will learn collectively about who receives the first magnet.

We will know early on about the smell of the 2015 catalog.

Imagine how envious board members will be if you are the first to post "I've got mine."

Until then however I expect a positive effect on our collective post past auction depression as a result of this thread. Consider it group therapy and best of all it's free.

I haven't got mine yet, but Chuck Norris has already received two copies.

I'm assuming there is going to be a Fall auction this year. I hope anyway

I just heard a loud "THUMP" on my side door stoop and saw a FedEx guy running for his truck, so I think mine has arrived!

I bet back surgeries hit an all time high around early April for mailmen.

Chuck Norris has already decided which cards will be consigned for the 2016 REA Spring auction--- I got my instructions yesterday.

Just went through the auction, nothing that's on my list of needs...there are a few in the I wish/someday category. If you're looking for funds check out my signature for what I'm looking for.

Made a mental note to stop and get a Powerball ticket in the 140,000,000 to 1 odds that some of this stuff remains within my budget!

Two goodies in one day...it really is Good Friday in Ohio!

Mine arrived yesterday, and is awesome as always. However, I've got a question about the website. Many of the AH websites now allow for scan super-enlargement, and I thought REA did in the past but cannot remember. Anyway, is it just me or my browser, or do the REA scans allow only for the small thumbnails plus one "regular" enlargement? I like to track the serial numbers on certain graded cards and have trouble seeing many of them.

Hi Todd,

I think REA never had the super-enlargement capability on the website. I seem to recall wishing for this in the past, but it was not available. They should add that.

Cheers,

I don't think REA ever had the super high-res scans like some AHs have today, as Blair mentioned. I'm on a PC using Firefox, and I only get the thumbnail and the standard size (kudos to REA for their accurate scans).

The standard size is big enough for me, but if you need to go bigger or enlarge for serial numbers, on a PC you can usually right click to view the image by itself, then Ctrl+ to enlarge and Ctrl- to shrink image.

Thanks guys--that helps.

[freakhappy]

Got mine yesterday! Is it bad that I want to keep it wrapped up for future value??

[pawpawdiv9]

Got it!
Postal carrier complained about the turbulance up the gravel driveway due to the potholes. I replied "Its just the package!"
btw: Which brings up the question, can a mail carrier complain about that or has a right to or go further and not deliver to the house. (1/4 mile off main road).
