Popular Post Robot Man Posted November 24, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 24, 2020 And I found this photo of my uncle (driving) and my dad (standing) with their 1920’s Buick pedal car.

By the time my brother and two sisters came along, money had to get spread out a little more. Even though I can no longer actually drive one, I’ve probably owned a dozen vintage pedal cars over the years. Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post Ivan Ivanstein Posted December 9, 2020 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 9, 2020 Curious!!

Robot Man Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 That's interesting and probably explains something to me. It was bought at a flea market. The guy had a bunch of real interesting photos. They looked "funny". They were printed on glossy, thin paper but none had any borders. Usually photos like this are one of a kind if original. This was the only one that had a comic pictured so I bought it pretty cheap. My buddy bought a couple of photos with toys in them. Appears the guy was probably swiping photos from the internet and selling them. Just one more reason that I put a watermark on any I post online. comicdonna, Ivan Ivanstein, kav and 1 other 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Robot Man Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 15 minutes ago, wilbil said: how did you determine the originality? Easy, look at his photo. It is obviously an original probably from a photo album. Mine is obviously a fake lifted from the internet. It is cropped and printed not on vintage paper. As Ivan said, it is the same one down to the scratch. Anytime you post anything on the net it is up for grabs. Most of what I post is stuff I don't care. I usually watermark photos but not always to prevent this. Ivan Ivanstein and Larryw7 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Ivan Ivanstein Posted December 9, 2020 Author Share Posted December 9, 2020 Yeah, I should start watermarking too... As a snapshot collector, I hate it when folks sell copies without designating them as such! I've gotten burned that way once or twice. 1950's war comics 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Great pictures of your children. My dad had the same system for all of his vinyl, Marantz amplifier and other components, with cinder blocks and wooden shelves. That brought back some nice memories. cgcsketcherz, jimjum12 and Larryw7 3 Link to post Share on other sites
