REA fall auction catalog

[GregMitch34]

Okay, looks like may be national issue of too-murky color and clarity in the catalog photos. I know the Web is most important but I wonder if the catalog can dim excitement for certain cards.

I got my catalog on Monday, and I have to agree with you, Greg. The pictures do appear darker. I took out the other three REA catalogs I have, and looked through them. It looks like this newest catalog is the only one with this issue.

Whenever I bid on a lot, or lots, I look them over online first. But the catalog is typically my first look at what's being offered, and picture clarity there is important.

It's not bad. The catalog is still beautiful. I just wish the pictures were a little more..brilliant.

Hi Everyone,

We've been monitoring the feedback regarding the catalog images so that we can discuss it in detail with our printer. Our last four auctions have been produced using the same photography and scanning equipment with the catalog made by the same printer, so it's perplexing to us how some of the images might be of a lesser quality in print, especially when all the images appear crisp, bright, and accurate online. We also received proof sheets before the final catalog print run, which we reviewed for colors and were satisfied that they were up to the same high standards of all our previous catalogs. A typical REA catalog print run involves millions of pages (literally 4-8 million pages of catalog print depending on spring or fall) that are printed over many days, so it is possible that some batches were adversely affected. We're not printers though, so we'll take this information to our printer and find out why this may have happened. We appreciate feedback in all instances and thank everyone for being so interested in and involved with our auctions. This auction is off to an incredible start, and we're extremely excited to see what the next few weeks have in store. Thank you again!

Got mine Monday, bid yesterday, got outbid today. At least it wasn't a drawn out process...

[Koufax32fan]

I put in 2 bids yesterday, and only got outbid on 1 today. What was it that Annie was singing? Oh yeah: Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love you tomorrow,
You're always a day away ...

Got mine in the mail a few days ago. I'll tell ya there are some amazing things up for auction. But when isn't there. Anyway I def like to see what the 34 Goudey set brings at auction considering I'm building the set but in a higher grade. Be nice to see what it will fetch.
