  1. Lofwyr, I'm always looking for any fighting tapes (I have all the commercially available contests already on tape) of either Vitor Belfort or Mark "the Hammer" Coleman. Practice tapes, gym tapes, sparring, rolling, etc. Please keep me in mind if you see something that fits the bill.
  2. Lofwyr, Do you have your tapes/contests catalogued? Do you have any "home-spun" tapes of reknowned fighters sparring as well?
  3. If I had $5,000 to invest in comics, I'd be wondering what the hell happened to the rest of all my money!!!!
  4. Now how's THIS for ironic! This is the very same seller that always offers those cheesy $14.00 (can be bought for $5.00 in novelty stores/catalogs) hand held black light, "fool-proof" restoration detectors (for identifying color touch). How do you suppose he "missed" the entire black area of the spine (painted with acrylics) with cases of those "fool-proof" gadgets in his home? web page
  5. No, NO...she tried!! It was half-hearted it seems but not a bad start, and awfully cute coming from Joanna!! OK..since she went out of her way with her maiden effort, I'll do my part and play along by hitting the "notify the moderator" button on her post as if I'm "incensed beyond all comprehension".
  6. Can you just imagine the look on Arch's face when after taking about 12 hours off from moderating the Board, and coming to the site to see what was "cookin" after sitting down with the "fam", partaking of the Traditional X-Mas Goose, he started reading?!?!?!?!? I wish I could have a picture of THAT look of astonishment and horror as a "Kodak Holiday Moment"!!
  7. I can only imagine what the always unpredictable Jens has in store for us on April 20th (Adolph's Birthday).
  8. "Sorry I missed the infamous X-Mas Day Massacre...sounds like fun" Hey, we've got Easter Coming, another Religious Holiday. Who knows what the Easter Bunny will bring this year?
  9. I just reviewed many of the threads mentioned that I saved for posterity. Most have been unceremoniously deleted from the Forum and hurled into the pits of the Penalty box. By far, my vote for most memorable moments, events, whatever, is an easy choice!! What other thread was responsible for so many members being thrown into the Penalty Box at the same time!! This thread had it ALL!!! In my estimation, by a wide margin, the best of the "beast" was "the X-Mas Day Massacre", when for once, the Spirit of X-mas and good fellowship, chained to the bumper of a vehicle driven by no less than a dozen Forum members, was dragged through the dirt and given an indecent burial, until Arch got wind of what was going on and called an abrupt halt to the ensuing "festivities", by pulling the plug on a bunch of angry participants.
  10. The SCAN sells the book. The more detail available, the better. As a seller you want BOTH the positives AND negatives to show and should use the description to call attention to these attributes in the image. Negative attributes are just as important to be seen in an auction, as Positive. Grading is a DEDUCTIVE skill, not Additive. Every book starts out flawless, and the amount and severity of each flaw deducts cumulative points from what started out, theoretically, unflawed. When the parcel is opened by the buyer, you want the book to be represented accurately or the only one enriched by the transaction is PayPal and/or the Post office, for a round trip, back to the seller. I've found auctionwatch to be the best hosting company. I can store an UNLIMITED amount of scans there and pay one charge of $12.95 monthly and using their site is fool-proof. Fast and easy. Mostly, I store my scans there at a size of 200KB. This seems to yield the best results on Ebay and produces an image of approx. 1.5 times comic scale.
  11. I read you. Thank you for the valuable info! They're badly curled but when you open them up, the surface is free from cracks, fissures, etc.
  12. Pov, In your estimation, could a press like the cast iron one (which I assume you can REALLY torque up without breaking) be used to press photos?? I have hundreds of photos taken by my grandfather's brother, of ball players between the period of approx. 1946 to 1956 at Yankee Stadium, the Polo Grounds, and Ebbets Field. They are Kodak B&W snapshots with very glossy stock and the fluted/scalloped decorative edges of approx. 4" by 6" in size. They're in beautiful condition but VERY curled, most actually rolling up. Whenever I've tried putting them in a photo album, they just eventually curl their way out of the "magnetic" pages. They were kept in a large hat box for YEARS, where they now are still stored. Any ideas?
  13. I just stand on them with my custom, muskrat-stuffed cinderblock, platform lifting shoes when I'm doing 1000 pound power-shrugs. After THAT, even 80 page giants are pressed as flat as a pancake. THAT'S the secret!!!
