Have they provided info on when the preview is?

Also, will there be online bidding for these?

I didn't much like paying eighty bucks for two catalogs but they arrived today (very quick turn-around, four days from NY to British Columbia) and after a quick perusal I would say that after fifteen plus years in this racket they are the nicest catalogs I've ever seen and totally worth the money. Wonderful stuff, great layout, fluffless prose. Probably nothing in there I'll be able to afford but the books are definitely worth having in your baseball library.

Awesome. Thanks!

Just purchased mine online. Was going to get them at the preview, but I fear they could be sold out.

Looking again I am still in awe at the accumulation. I might bid but need to remember the 25% BP tacked on (as was stated, I didn't check myself).....which is a bit more than normal.

Ordered both to keep as a reference, but only one showed up (the photograph one). Did anyone order both and receive both??
