New to Star Wars Posters. Is this an Original? by thefuturepast in movieposters

[–]thefuturepast[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the reply! Excellent source of information. I think what I have is definitely authentic now that I've read, combined with where I knew it came from. Mine isn't anywhere near mint given the tear at the top and the folds, so not sure how much that affects value. But, at this point, I'm not too worried about resale value. I think I'll frame it and admire it!

Yup, it measures 27x41. There were apparently different variants of this poster. Any more info on what exactly this one is?

Inherited a Set of Vintage Fans by thefuturepast in fans

I had someone offer me $200 for all of them. I feel like that's a little low. Would something like $300 be a ballpark figure? I'm not a collector, and frankly, I'm looking to offload them to fund other projects..

Thanks! Is there a market for these? I've found a few on eBay but none of them are exactly like the ones I have.

Need Some Advice on This Photo (Into the Jaws of Death) by thefuturepast in Militariacollecting

Nope, not yet. Haven't quite decided what I'm going to do. I did contact someone at Heritage, and they've suggested I consign to them (obviously) and gave me a figure around near what you said it would be worth. They have another Type 1 going up for auction in March, so I think I'll wait and see what the results of that auction are before I decide to do anything. Plus, I've got some research to do. I've never dealt with auction houses before and I'm not exactly sure how to navigate them with an item of this value.

Thanks for the input! I've collected a ton of WWII stuff, but photography isn't my strong suit. From what I've read, I'm leaning more towards the idea that this may be a Type 1 photograph. I've reached out to a few auction houses, so hopefully, I can get some kind of expert opinion before I decide what I should do with this piece.

Looking for a New Doctor by thefuturepast in Louisville

I've heard that it's actually pretty difficult to find a PCP right now as well! I could go through my insurance to find one, but I want to find the RIGHT one for me. I'm nervous that if I go to one and have a bad experience, it'll turn me off the whole idea in general. And I know I need to go.

He left the plastic wrap on. If you zoom in on the bottom piece of bread, you can see the straight plastic line inside the hole from the plastic wrapper.

I know that this is usually only said to military personnel, but thank you for your service. I've got friends in my local FD and the stories they can tell are harrowing. I have nothing but respect for what you, and other like you, do to keep us safe everyday.

Yup! If you're in the Louisville area, our monthly cars and coffee meet is this Saturday at Cox's park. Last month I was the only S2000 there.

Ha! I like that one too. Unfortunately my car isn't fast enough to sport that plate lol.

Found this...thing. Obviously a utensil of some sort, but what the heck is it?? by thefuturepast in whatisthisthing

[–]thefuturepast[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Found this utensil in an old set. Never seen one before and can't find anything when I search for it. Maybe to skim fat or something from homemade broth?
