[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 2887884, member: 10461"]Funny you should mention that. I saw it just a moment ago ... opened it ... saw zero pictures ... and closed it. I'm sure Frank's a reputable guy, his descriptions are indeed good, and there were probably some actual bargains to be had in there, but sorry, I've just gotta have pictures nowadays. Teletrade in 1998 or so was the last time I did sight-unseen mailorder purchasing. Then again, you're right- "quaint throwback", indeed. It did remind me of the old-school inventory lists I used to carefully peruse during my premillennial mailorder era. I've been on his mailing list a while, but haven't done any bidding or buying from him yet. I'm not ruling it out for the future, however, and do look the lists over from time to time (at least the ones with pictures - haha). I like your Gallienus at the price. I think your Postumus sestertius is kinda neat, too.[/QUOTE]
