An old discussion board buddy from the ebay board used to use a caliper that he clad in black electricians tape, with a black background. That...
I must say that I appreciate the self-depreciation routine, Gentlemen. :) I don’t think it was so bad. I’m not sure why it was a goal to not have...
A side note here, @ColonialCoinsUK : [ATTACH] https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces47938.html I don’t know if you are familiar with this...
That is one diverse collection of favorites, well done! The cabinet is great too. I have a similar one that I put my clothes in, and have stacked...
That’s true greatness. One of the legacies of Steve Jobs was to provide all his workers with a copy of «Autobiography of a yogi» by Paramahansa...
