Default E-Bay never stops amazing

Not sure how to post this link but look at E-Bay item # 130386438935. Last time I checked these were free. WOW E-Bay can get crazy sometimes.

Man, and I've been throwing them out all these years
Look at all the money we've lost Jeff
All I can say that dude was drinking some bad kool aid while placing that ad. Maybe he's wishing/hoping for someone overseas to purchase????

If you look at the guy's other items he just panders old stuff (or seemingly old) magazine covers, sheet music, funky books. He just threw this CC catalog out there as part of his 'shotgunning' for profits and has no idea what it really is.

He doesn't need to have any idea as to what it is, as long as the buyer has no idea as to what it is, either!

Granted...but there is nothing 'amazing' (title of this post) about it. Just some huckster hoping to snare an unknowing memorabilia buyer.
Goes on hundreds of times a day on our favorite auction site.

It's worth every penny (but you can still get them for free).
