Hey, you are talking about an auction where grown men post time and again about their excitement sniffing the catalog. Or hearing the postman drop it on the floor and getting, shall we say, physically aroused. Watch it buddy. Treading on very thin ice here.

Hey, for some of us the world revolves on such a sniff and a thump.

That’s exactly what is being talked about. And the hype is worth it. Always a fantastic offering. And yes, the smell. It is real.

I think I'm like a lot of collectors in that I'm willing to devote some significant financial resources to a purchase, but I need to plan ahead. I don't have unlimited funds, so if I go after one card, it may prevent me from going after other cards in other auctions. That's why it's really helpful for me to see previews - I've had to pass on REA items in the past because I was too heavily invested in other auctions.

Just my two cents...

Most of us are in the same boat. I certainly am. Who knew a daughters wedding would cost 50k? And we don't need to talk about that SMU Masters Degree.....it isn't cheap either. SO yes, previews are great and my guess is the REA bidding will start today as their website says. My hope is a few cards I have my eye on will garner less bids as there are so many auctions going on right now.
