Lots of amazing stuff. Hard to get side tracked from collecting goals when looking through a catalog with this caliber of stuff

Heck, I am getting catalogs from AH's that have not opened yet.
Still nothing from REA.

The Columbus Day holiday appears to have affected delivery of catalogs, but at this point unfortunately it's a USPS issue as all catalogs have left our printer's warehouse. We ship more than any other AH, so the mailings are staggered West to East to allow for 10,000+ to make their way around the country (and world) and arrive around approximately the same time. We just received our office copies yesterday, so I imagine this weekend and Monday will see a ton of catalogs hit the mailbox.

It's all good. I figured it was a USPS thing. I heard they still use mule train to get items to where I live. I'm sure most people just like having the catalog to look at, as 99 percent of bidding comes from online.

this might be why major auction houses see a need to run their auctions longer than a week or 10 days

David, nothing yet here in Toronto. Hopefully the catalogue will arrive before the auction ends. Unfortunately that's the norm with most auction houses for Canadian clients. (In fairness Memory Lane's latest catalogue arrived the day before the auction ended.)

Sorry to resurrect this thread from page three.
An REA catalog was delivered by UPS yesterday to my doorstep in Victoria, British Columbia. Had already looked it over on-line but I can do a more thorough and leisurely review turning the pages instead of clicking a mouse. Plenty of time before the auction ends. All is good. Thanks Brian.

This is a very unusual REA screw up. Very surprising!

I am not a real hard core conservationist, as these things go, but I wish I could opt out of some of these catalogs. I was through the REA website so many times honestly I haven't cracked the catalog and its been on my night table now since last Sunday afternoon.

I actually agree with Steve on this one. It’s 2017. Print is dying. We can wax poetically about “holding something tangible,” and the smell, but from a pure financial standpoint, if the high printing and shipping costs associated with these catalogs went away, the premiums could go down, while keeping AH net margins whole. Wouldn’t that be a decent trade off?

Sensible idea but good luck with that. At least the part about premiums going down.

I have been told that a major reason that auction houses continue to produce glossy catalogs in this day and age is to satisfy the egos of their major consignors.

Yeah, can see that. Nothing like seeing your item on page 1 or 2. If I consigned a six figure item I guess I'd want the fully monty as well. But even if 10% of their customers opted out that would be worth something.

Once my catalog arrived long after I'd seen everything online, I logged in thinking for sure there would be a way to opt out under settings, but I couldn't find anything - I was thinking about the environment as well - I can't see why it would hurt to leave it up to the individual.

Default Unsalted Nuts

One of the auction lots I find most impressive from a collector standpoint is the Batter-Up near master collection of the various tints. Collecting just the 1-80 non-high number subset regardless of tint is enough of an accomplishment, but to pursue all 800+ of these cards, especially the high number tints, is just plain nuts. Never have seen an accumulation like it.

It's too bad there's not an auction that deals specifically in Cuban/Latin items.
