Jeff- I'm truly happy for you, best of luck. As for the members who insist
on deliberate trolling, pay them no heed as they are petty.

Honestly, my reason for sharing all of this is just to share my excitement and experience with the Net54 community of collectors that has taught me so much over the years!

Since this collection has found its way on both covers of the Catalog and has also received lots of hobby and general media coverage already, I didn’t intend this to be a consignment pump!

But I suppose it may look that way to some - defiantly not my intention. I think this find has gotten as much attention as it needs and that is a big credit to REA and the fun backstory of it all.

In general, you can go to the web site and request a catalog either through an email request or phone call. In order to keep getting them over time, you will likely need to be viewed as an active collector who purchases from time to time.

The online version is exactly the same in most instances as the printed catalog so it is just as easy to look online than in a thick book and I prefer that and opted out of printed catalogs but some like to actively peruse the pages and prefer the print versions.

Some auction houses no longer send printed catalogs that contain all lots. A few of the well known ones just feature the higher valued items in the print version to obviously save on cost. I think you will begin to see more of this as the cost to print and ship these massive catologs is not a cheap endeavor.

Mail was just delivered and nothing

Guess I will have to wait to see it on their website

... No need to " pump that consignment ".
I overheard Nepalese Peacekeeping Force soldiers talking about it at the airport in Haiti , where I was stranded for an extra 3 days. The word is out.
