REA just arrived

Received my catalogue today as well, definitely a keepsake!

Noticing the word on the cover, I wonder how many people fax in their bids nowadays?

Best,

Beckett slabs these, right?

The "Christmas Catalog" arrived for me today too! I love reading and using it for a resource. There are so many great items in it! I would love to own many things.
Unfortunately for me, after waiting weeks and weeks in anticipation for what E98 tresures that the auction might hold, I am so disappointed and saddened to see that not a SINGLE E98 is available in this year's auction! It is like getting lots of cool stuff for Christmas as a kid, but never getting the thing that you REALLY WANTED! It's Ralphie not getting his BB gun....except worse, there isn't an E98 hiding in the corner waiting to be discovered like Ralphie's gun.

Their selection or I should say non selection of T205's this yr is horrible. Probably wont pop off a single bid.

Sorry Tim. If it's any consolation, there are 3 E94 lots including 2 overprints. Kind of stinks that what you collect is one of the few holes in this year's offering.

Seems like this might be the least interesting REA memorabilia-wise in a long time...at least no one on the memorabilia side is even discussing this auction when in the past there used to be just as much anticipation there as there was over here on the card side.

Matt,
This year's auction is disappointing to me because there is nothing from one of the major sets that I collect, but if you collect T206s, T210s, etc. WOW what a selection to choose from! It is kinda like going to a show, a card shop, or The National. If you find a bunch of stuff that you collect, then it is the greatest show that you have ever been too! If you don't find anything that YOU are interested in, then the show stinks But, it is still cool to look through everything.

Oh, Chuck on the smell, my wife won't let me read the catalog in bed next to her at night, because the smell of the printing makes her ill!

And yet, not a single signed T206. Oh well....

+1 on the lack of a "really cool" Lajoie card or piece of memorabilia.
