I have been having alot of fun looking through this wonderful catalog and was thinking the same thing about Rob going strickly online.....My thought after reading the preliminary pages and realizing the thought that went into them is that there is a real desire to do it the right way regardless of cost...I certainly hope as others do that he continues.....

On another note,... there certainly is a lack of memorabilia this year and wonder why this is.....Are people that have purchased pieces holding them to keep in the family to hand down...Are they drying up?

We Canadians are having a tough time with our catalogs, thanks to UPS.

I can say that, personally, I put a bid in on a lot I wanted and convinced myself that I wasn't going to go any higher. I was outbid in a day or two, and wasn't really planning on going back to the website any time soon. However the catalog showed up and I flipped to the lot, walked to the computer, and upped my bid. So I guess the shipping was worth it!

There is just no good way to see everything on line...you're at the mercy of the search function. How do I know if I want it, if I haven't searched for it? For instance, I would never search for the old baseball toys, banks, advertising, etc...but when I see them, I show my wife and she says "those would look cool in your office!" My guess is that they make up for shipping on the excitement that the catalog brings. If they were just selling cards (Memory Lane, etc), they could get away with website only. But their stuff is just too diverse and too nice not to feature it in a sweet book!

Take Care,
Geno

Still waiting for mine. I never got one last year either even though I filled out the online request & called them requesting one. I live just down the road from them in Jersey, So maybe I'll just go pick one up in person?

REA will ship you the catalog if you ask for it; I'm guessing that Rob is OK with shipping catalogs even to non-bidders as a "good-will" gesture to keep him name around your house in case you ever come up with the find of a lifetime.

A small investment of what the book costs to produce plus shipping tends to pay off in a big way.

Skelly,

You're not alone. I live less than 15 minutes from REA and have not received the catalog yet this year. Hopefully we'll get it tomorrow.
