Got the exact same package and I had the exact same thought - "oh, I must have won 1 or 2 slabs that I just forgot about!"

I had already put all my max bids into what is an exception auction (budget in the holidays is always a little tighter, so I'm already out!), but the popcorn absolutely achieved a positive goal for me. I gave it to my partner and said "see - you tell me that collecting cards is worthless. Now, you've got a bag of popcorn!" and she loved it.

Great catalogue, funny and thoughtful mailers. I know there are very real reasons that Memory Lane needs to make up for sins of the past, but I do appreciate the thought and effort. Its also a really good way to play the long game for eventual potential consignors, as its gotten this sub talking again about a great slate of auction items in a novel way.

Wut? If ML needs to atone for sins, and I won't speculate about what you are talking about here, why on earth would sending people a bag of popcorn or a junk wax pack atone for them? Are people that manipulable? I doubt it.

I did the exact same thing!
My wife is using the cup for her morning tea and my son got the 87 Topps pack in his Christmas stocking.

I still use the Post-It notes they sent a while back packaged in a catalog...or maybe an auction win, don't remember.

Either way, those tiny 1/6th sized ones come in handy in my lab. I didn't know they were a thing.

I got a nice coffe travel mug, but no catalog this time. I’m a catalog guy, as I hate scrolling the big auctions, unless I am specifically looking for something.

Old school browser, but I’ve got a nice travel mug!
