I used to flip through the videogames section so much the color started to smear on the pages.

I bookmarked this link. I assume I am going to spend an inordinate amount of time looking at these in the next month or so.

Screenshot those pages, man.

Man, I'm not screenshotting and hosting every page I'd like to post.
Just wish it was a site that had the pictures linked so we could just paste the URLs in here. I went down a rabbit hole of reading all of the little blurbs about each Nintendo game a little while ago in the 1990 catalog. Just one quick statement, maybe 2.

Will be a great service to us all of those who post catalogs and certain page numbers.

I got a Bass Pro Christmas flyer/booklet in the mail the other day. My wife rolled her eyes when I told her how much I enjoyed thumbing through it like the old days

The 1987 one has a little lingerie in it (starting on page 44).
What's awesome is that this was basically Amazon long before Amazon became a thing.
Holy shite, The Animal toy truck. A buddy of mine had this and it was bad fricking arse.

I loved those catalogs. I remember looking at all the NFL gear and footballs, basketballs always wanting the real ones.
Yep first thing I went to & just did it again.

JCPenny 1992 pg 118 featuring Noxzema girl.
Thy self thou gav'st, thy own worth then not knowing,
Or me, to whom thou gav'st it, else mistaking,
So thy great gift, upon misprision growing,
Comes home again, on better judgement making.
Thus have I had thee as a dream doth flatter:
In sleep a king, but waking no such matter.

I'm in the 1930 one and there are what I would consider some fairly risqué pics (even though animated) in that one of women undergarments.
You can also buy a speedboat for $132.50, and an outboard motor for $150.
But bicycles were like $15-30, which seems outrageous.
Lots of awesome guns under $20 though.
And I don't think I see a single toy at all. Which is cool.

Oh man, I haven't thought about that in forever, but now I remember the gunk from those catalog pages rubbing off on my sweaty greedy hands

Found some of the toys I remember salivating over as a kid. Actually had the Legos castle set, some of the GI Joe, and Dukes of Hazzard.
