REA catalog is here!

[Howe’s Hunter]

I've only made it half-way through so far. Keep having to fight my wife for it, as she loves the smell of the auction catalogs when they arrive. Having been in print advertising for over 30 years, I'm used to the smell. But her suggestion was to stop collecting cards, and start collecting REA catalogs. That way I could look at more cards than I could ever afford, and she could smell the books. Anyone know of anyone who does that? In some sort of sick way, it does make sense....
(it was nice to see a former card of mine now in a back run lot. Hope it find another happy house to reside in)

Reading this thread yesterday about everyone having their catalog, I wondered about the location of mine. I sent a note to REA online to make sure that I was still on their mailing list. In fifteen minutes I received a reply saying that I was. Thirty minutes later I went out the back door and bingo, my UPS box was there. Now that's service!

I haven't received mine yet I have placed many bids on line for this auction though. I had a heavy package on my doorstep the other day and thought it was the REA catalogue but it turned out to be the Heritage auction catalogues....

Even after the auction is over it's fun looking through them for years to come. The only catalog my wife knows is the REA one as it weighs about 50 lbs

I agree. put out on my desk for clients to flip through also. The catalogs are actually a great ice breaker with new clients. I get at least 2-3 "wow I had that same card!" reactions a week.

The UPS guy just "Knocked and Dropped" mine at the front door

It's a'gonn'a take more than a six-pack to go through it all






Man, ol' Joe P. (RIP) had one heck of a collection.

Wow, about 6 hours after my post bemoaning the fact I hadn't received it, the UPS guy brings it
