Amen to that Mike !
Scanner images turn out dull (lack of luster) for a specific reason - it's because of the angles, or rather the lack of angles. So to get a...
That stack is one of most unique things I've ever seen. Quite impressive :thumb:
Dan I'm not trying to make arguments in anybody's favor. I'm merely trying to present the facts. As everybody here well knows, I am among the...
Hmmmm - from the DLRC web site. Reserves on lots are revealed approximately 48 hours prior to auction end...
