Thank you everyone.
Having been a member of a similar board for vintage baseball memorabilia for about four year now, I know sometimes noobs can step on some toes...and that on occasion it isn't meant that way. Other times the person is just a jagoff, which I'd like to think isn't me. So I do get it and will watch the way things happen here.
Ari...the C is just for my last name, which is in my screen name. The baseball board I am on feels it is important to put your name with your posts so that there is less flaming coming from anonymous interwebs sources. If someone's name is behind a post the thought is that he or she might be a little more toned down. At least on a consistent basis anyway. On MOPO I think my screen name was cgrantfan but am not sure about that.
In another thread someone asked if I kept the stuff I had two decades ago. Most of what I had and brought to shows were things I could afford on a student's budget. I had some lower level posters, but moreso had things like magazines, sheet music, tearsheet ads, cigarette cards, postcards etc. I did the Holiday Inn show in West Berlin NJ regularly for a couple years. Did an NYC show once or twice. Did shows in Ocean City NJ three or four times. But my inventory was such that it isn't much of a shame that I didn't keep it. Really just kept the Cary Grant posters that I had and a Harvey three sheet which is hanging in my house.
These days, like I said, I am buying and selling when I see things I think are too cheap. Helps pay the bills and keeps the wife off my back so I can be near these items that iI love. Have bought some items for myself...mostly posters from childhood movies like Animal House, Stripes, E.T., Bull Durham, etc. Want one for the Breakfast Club but my goodness they are not cheap!! Star Wars and Empire Strikes back are next if one evr slips through the cracks a bit.
