When Robert Edwards?

I believe there was a thread not too long ago about the upcoming REA auction.

On the REA site, notice some highlites for upcoming auction including a nice T210 Shoeless Joe, PSA 4 Plank, T206 Wagner.
Also says catalog ships on 4/12?

I cant remember when the auction lots went on site visible on the web last year. It was before catalog went out. Anybody have any knowledge about when this will happen?

I can't wait to get their catalog!

In the description of the T210 Jackson it implies that the entire T210 set will be offered, by series , in the upcoming auction with Jackson and Stengel being auctioned individually. This should be fun and will be a real test of the strength of the market for these great cards.

And there is an entire near set (119/120) E90-1s which is rarely if ever offered together, all graded by SGC, with 3 E90-1 Joe Jacksons also offered separately in the auction if anyone wants to grab the entire set.

My understanding is May 7 and the same weekend as a card show in Glendale, CA http://diamondstarsportscards.com/. Tough weekend to have a show in So Cal. Too bad it has been a while since there has been one. Would have liked to have set up but collectors wait all year for the REA auction.

I believe the last couple auctions were online about 7-10 days prior to the start of the auction.

Sports Collectors Daily also had an auction preview article today that mentions additional items that REA's blog has not yet talked about...

Just for clarification...that link to the REA preview is on Sports Collectors Daily, which isn't affiliated with Sports Collectors Digest (commonly referred to as SCD).

Received an e-mail today from REA that included this:

The spring auction catalogs will mail on April 12, 2011. We will put the auction online approximately April 15 (we may be able to do this earlier if we find ourselves ahead of schedule) and the final day of bidding will be Saturday May 7, 2011.

Must be an echo in here.

My mistake. I thought there was a question of when the auction would be available to view online, and I thought the info from the e-mail I posted gave the date. I also erred in thinking that information that came from REA would be more reliable than "understandings" and "beliefs."
