I think this is the exact Sears catalogue that my first GI Joe (Navy) was ordered from. That was my best Christmas that I remember as a kid. I remember it like it was yesterday.
BTW, does anyone else remember the excitement of looking through the Sears Christmas catalogue for the first time every year like I do? Those were great times!!  |

Mike R. -- lots of great pickups there, but the Dick Tracy car really stands out for me. My uncle had a large toy collection displayed in his home years ago, and that car was always my favorite piece.

Scott & Greg. Am glad you guys like the Beatles stuff. Shifting a big part of my focus towards collecting the Fab Four was one of the best decisions I've made in years.
And regarding the Sears Catalog, my feelings are not only on the same page as the both of you, but the same sentence! I would expect that most of us Baby Boomers feel the same way.
The day that catalog arrived, I spent the better part of the evening going through page after page after page. Some terrific memories, for sure.
