The May pickups thread should be fun... Oh, and as an aside, now that REA is out, do we even care that Heritage is ending in 5 days...??!! Last edited by Rhotchkiss; 04-14-2018 at 04:52 PM. |

IMO, because REA only runs twice a year.

I think they are both amazing. Between the two, however, I think REA has the edge on content and Heritage is superior on auction format (interface/auction website, per-lot extended bidding, allowing bids between increments, etc).

Peter, you need to learn when to close your mouth you know I'm just playing around and I 100% agree with you. Actually, I find the current REA auction a bit blah, especially by REA standards.

The post war selection in Heritage is incredible too.

Heritage has much bigger cards, for sure, but I think there’s a purity about REA that many collectors appreciate.

Agree
REA always has a great vintage spread! I might sit this one out though.

I wonder how many catalogs were shipped.... wow, they go through great expense to lay it out, print it and ship it. Now for an update:
It was Professor Plum in the Conservatory with the REA Catalog....
