The Pentium III had arrived, and suddenly last year’s dream computer felt ancient.
Circuit City announced the launch with sixteen pages of faster PCs, DVD and Divx, MiniDisc, Sprint PCS, camcorders, and car audio.
This is late-’90s upgrade culture at full throttle—when every aisle promised a newer tomorrow.
Turn the pages and let the old prices, logos, products, and colors do what nostalgia does best.
Launch-Day Hardware
This vintage retail catalog spotlights new Intel Pentium III computers, Divx and DVD, camcorders, MiniDisc, car audio, appliances, and Sprint PCS. At approximately 11 x 12.5 in. with 16 pages, it delivers a genuine snapshot of what shoppers saw, wanted, and talked about during Sunday, February 28, 1999.
PERIOD RETAIL EPHEMERA1990s NOSTALGIACIRCUIT CITYFrom MiniDisc To Sprint PCS
Weekly ads and seasonal catalogs were made for immediate use—not long-term survival. They were folded, circled, clipped, shared around the house, and usually recycled once the sale ended.
That everyday purpose is exactly what makes this example so enjoyable now. It preserves real promotional language, package design, brand presentation, and consumer culture from its own moment—not a modern recreation of the decade.
Who Will Get A Kick Out Of It?
A fun crossover piece for collectors of Circuit City, vintage advertising, retail history, graphic design, period technology, pop culture, and 1990s ephemera. It also makes an engaging display or conversation piece for anyone who remembers shopping these aisles firsthand.
Honest Vintage Condition
Pre-owned vintage paper catalog/circular with original folds, handling wrinkles, edge and corner wear, light age toning, minor surface wear, and small bends or curling consistent with age and use. Contents shown remain visually engaging and legible.
Please review every photo closely for exact page count, contents, folds, marks, completeness, and condition.
