Isn't this type of thing that Twitter and Facebook are all about? (I don't know because I don't Tweet and I don't Face!)

PS: Mine arrived Wed @ 3:19 PM!

I would still like to know who/how Net54baseball is being tweeted? My wife follows us on Twitter. I didn't even know we had a tweet?

i read thru mine over the past two days, marked down what interested me, and tossed the book in the recycling bin in my house and put the bin near the door so I'd remember to empty the bin into the larger recyling bin outside in the morning.

Well, on the way out the door for school this morning, my 6 yr old saw the book and freaked out that I was going to toss it. He loves to keep the auction catalogs and thumb thru them. It was entertaining watching him lug the catalog up the stairs to put in his bedroom

Christmas has come early.

Or late, depending which way you look at it.

Odd that none have popped up on the B/S/T.

For those keeping track, I am now all the way up to Page 20 & reading about the 1916 Ware Babe Ruth card.

It says it is an extremely attractive & outstanding example, bright & clean, bold & crisp, but I don't know if I believe them.

What should I do now?

Well, having never gotten one of these, I had to go to REA's website. At the bottom of the home page is a link to "request a free cat". So naturally, I did just that.

Now each day the mailman does NOT bring it will only serve to increase my anticipation.

Leon - Isn't tossing a REA catalog into the trash 2 days after receiving it grounds for expulsion from Net 54??

Ken C. - FYI, at the beginning of this year, my wife and I sold our T/H in the hinterlands of Centreville and moved to an active-seniors condo out in the sticks of Manassas - I hope I receive my REA catalog before the auction ends!

Got home late last night from a work related dinner to find the beauty on my office desk. While reading it in bed my wife commented on the cover (boston garters) and asked about the "cards of the men in their underwear". I responded that I was planning on bidding $50k on them. She said "ok with me". So as I see it I've got marital approval to spend $50k on some cards!

Needed something to keep the car from rolling down the driveway while not in gear. Problem solved! Thanks REA!

It appears as though new threads get tweeted here: https://twitter.com/Net54Baseball

This is probably something you can mess with in the Admin Control Panel.

So it's automatic?

Yes. Someone most likely set it up to pull from this forum's RSS feed. Either that or Leon set it up to syndicate (as simple as a few button clicks) and forgot about it.

I ordered my catalog five days ago from their website (just moved). Based on past experiences, how long should I expect to have to wait?

Since I have no idea how to tweet, except by mocking a bird, I doubt it was me. Maybe it's on cruise control? Heck, I barely know what an RSS feed is...though I am getting sort of hungry and need to feed myself.
