Catalog just hit my front door--almost took it off it's hinges! Mailman said he was glad I'm the only one in the area that gets it!

The catalog just arrived at my work mailroom. It took 3 guys using a hand-truck to bring it up to me.

It's amazing...as some others have eluded to above, there's nothing like thumbing thru a real catalog versus a website. Even though you think you do a thorough search on the computer, it's inevitable that you'll find some hidden treasures tucked away between the pages.

When I saw this post and image, my only thought was that John had received the only miscut catalog without four square corners that would ultimately be sold for megabucks in an auction down the road.

My catalog arrived moments ago and my suspicion was correct. My corners measure exactly 90 degrees with parallel edges, a true rectangular catalog. The smell confirms the authenticity of my copy, but alas no magnet was included in my shipment. I will expect and anticipate a second packet containing the magnet.:D

Bingo!

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

Not this year, apparently.

The 2015 REA Catalog Anticipation and Delivery Thread
 

I wonder how much all of those magnets cost in years past.

Great Cover!

Mr. Ray Kolp on the front cover has the expression of a man who just realized that none of his Day 1 bids are going to hold up...

Me too!!!!!

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.

Got mine yesterday! Is it bad that I want to keep it wrapped up for future value?? [emoji32][emoji41]

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).

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,
Blair

I got my REA catalog yesterday. I also got my SCP Auctions catalog yesterday.

Monday, I go in for back surgery! :(

Good luck Steve , got my catalog today the day became a little brighter .

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.

I must be an A-lister.

I got my second catalog today.:D

Got mine today!!!! Considering an all-nighter to adequately look it over. It has taken tremendous discipline to not look at the website before the catalog. On a side note...oooooh that smell of a fresh catalog
