Yes! My brother and I always got so excited when the Sears Wishbook was delivered. I’m sad that recycled the last couple I had just before they announced they’re closing. I miss Sears.

It really got interesting when one of the male models brought a lawsuit against Sears due to them selling underwear he was modeling with the end of his penis hanging out. Everybody searched their catalog after that was aired on the news. 😂 My uncle was in his 70’s and showed me the picture.

@cherokeepatti The Long John in the Boxers! He was cute. 🤣

@TexChik I think nobody would have known about his photo slip if he hadn’t sued Sears and it got splashed all over tv news across the country. 😂

@cherokeepatti One of our friends had that catalog and showed it to us. 🤣

I thought he looked like Robert Conrad.

I studied it closely every year. I think it had every toy in it.

@exexec When I was about 3 I got a “busy box” filled with little crafty things like sewing cards, coloring pages, little trick things, etc. for Christmas. Every year I asked for one. When it was too cold outside I could sit around and do those things while indoors.
