Robert Edward Auctions!

[MVSNYC]

Catalog just arrived! One of my favorite (collecting) days of the year.

Looks amazing, at quick glance.

[Stonepony]

Hoping for mine this week!

[RGold]

I'll let everybody know when I get mine!!!

[tiger8mush]

postman just delivered mine! Comes with a neat little magnet too. They certainly go above & beyond as far as presentation. Could take a while getting thru this ~650 page behemoth!

Why you so slow Canada Post

[nsaddict]

Incredible stuff, if you collect Ramly's save your dough for the auction, with over 140 card offerings that includes 2 high grade WoJo's ! My magnet is already on the fridge

At least REA catalogs arrive well before the end of the auction. I haven't had a Legendary auction catalog ever arrive before the auction ends

Max

[GoldenAge50s]

As of 12:19 mine has NOT arrived!

[Kawika]

REA website says that catalogs get mailed out on April 1st so some of you guys must be on the inside track. As a resident of the Great White North I won't be holding my breath but at least, like Max said, the REA catalog will arrive in Canada before the auction is over, unlike many of the other AHs. In the meantime, anybody know when the online preview will be up?

[Bicem]

Don't care about the catalog but really looking forward to the online preview.

Got mine today! /excited!!!

[kkkkandp]

When I heard the thud on my front porch this morning I thought sure my postman had taken a header, but, no, it was the annual orgazmatron known as the REA catalog.

Some awesome things up for auction - not that anyone should be surprised by that!

BTW - I love the smell of it!

[mrvster]

my heart is still pounding

[the 'stache]

Wow, this Ramly collection is insane. That SGC 96 Walter Johnson is immaculate. The centering is perfect, and there's not a chip or a speck of white to be seen.

I'm seriously drooling paging through this. I might not sleep tonight.

Me, too. That was the first thing I did after taking it out of the shipping box and insert bag.

Rob, some amazing items this year, congrats!

Not that it makes much of a difference, I believe the "quadruple" strike T206 is a triple.

[Rich Klein]

I guess Texas is not on the REA most favored states. must be because of the web site owner and people within 10 miles of him which makes us 2nd class citizens

[honus94566]

When will the auction be live to view on the website?

[calvindog]

Rich, mine showed up yesterday.

[Kenny Cole]

I don't have mine yet. They must be coming to Oklahoma by pony express.

[I Only Smoke 4 the Cards]

Kudos for mentioning that they were sheet cut. Such a shame that someone ruined the only unknown sheet.

Well it is known now.

[bn2cardz]

I am tired of seeing these on ebay... I can't believe they made their way into an REA auction now:

http://bid.robertedwardauctions.com/...x?itemid=31972

[bwbc917]

Great auction. Placed my bids and may be able to afford one of the cards I'm after. I'm drooling over the Just So Childs, but with B/P it's already over $5000 and outta my league.

Same here. Not exactly REA caliber as I have understood it to be. Can the category polluting ersatz Zeenuts be far behind?

[ErikV]

Catalog finally arrived today (next door to Pasadena, CA),
a full ten days after the first person received their catalog
and started this thread!

ErikV

[sebie43]

Mine came today. (only 1 so far)

[nolemmings]

I did too. First one arrived the Monday before the auction started, and then another yesterday. Double the magnet enjoyment!

I dunno. I could be attracted to one magnet, but having two in the house could be polarizing

[kailes2872]

I got a catalogue yesterday (wow, very, nice and pricey!) I have been tracking the stuff I am looking for online and refershing the recent bids.

I have not been able to get registered. I sent in a request for the bid number information but have not been able to get approved since this is the first auction that I am looking to bid at. Am I doing something incorrectly? I have purchased a bunch in the last 18 months (much to my wife's chagrin) - however, it has been exclusively on Ebay, shows, and private sellers (and an N54 transaction). If someone has had a similar experience and could let me know how to become a registered bidder, I would appreciate it.

Also, since I am new to these type of auctions, can someone inform on the 18.5% buyer premium? It seems pretty substantial - especially on a big dollar purchase. It seems like it is standard practice in an auction of this nature and I am guessing that it goes to cover the costs of a super expensive catalogue, but I had just not seen something like that before - as these costs are captured on the seller side on a site like Ebay.

Thanks,
Kevin

[insccollectibles]

I was sent two

[slidekellyslide]

Two catalogs, ONE magnet. I WUZ ROBBED!!!1

Buyer premiums do come with the territory of non-ebay auction sites (with only one exception I know of). You just have to account for it in your bidding. If you bid 100 on a card remember that you are actually bidding 118.50 and do so accordingly. I think this allows the cosigner to be told they get 100% of the bids, when in reality there is an amount the cosigner isn't getting and it is going straight to the auction house.

[sebie43]

I didnt even get a magnet

We're supposed to get a magnet?

[atx840]

Since we don't use fridges in Canada, I will offer up my magnet to whomever wants it.

[shernan30]

Catalog arrived today. I will have something to do at work the rest of the week!!
