    So I see some photos posted that not only include a coin but also with a favorite item/hobby. Here's my take which one do you prefer
    Thanks for checking this out 001a.JPG 003z.JPG 004a.JPG

    Trains are really cool, especially if you've had a ton of fun on them like I've been able to have. Years ago of course but good memories never die. wave.gif

    I vote with fretboard! But to be honest, my grandfater was an engineer on the Chicago & Northwestern and I rode in the cab with him as a young child. Good memories never die!

    All of these are just a way of fudging ebay picture size rules. Mobile scrap iron or your Far Northern girlfriend are immaterial, I'd rather see a larger and better picture of the item for sale.

    Not sure what you are referring to, but when I sell on eBay I only post a photo of the coin or item I selling.
    Sometimes on CT when folks take a photo of a coin to post it also includes more that just the coin.
    If you don't like my post that's ok I'll survive and keep posting anyhow

    My nickname is Moose, my father gave it to me the day I was born. So I had to go with the moose

    I voted train because my grandson loves trains. I really liked Moose two also but Moose one well not so much. I know your not out of your mind you collect coins or does mean we're all out of our minds? Nice pictures by the way.

    It's not about liking or disliking your post, it's that your post comes off rather shabby in the way it's written and presented. It isn't exactly clear what you are soliciting others to respond to with your poll. If you don't take the time to sort these details out for what you wish others to respond to, then you are likely to get a lot of confused responses.

    Thread title: "Tell me what you think it's a poll"
    No indication of thread topic, and this is not a sentence.

    Your original post: "So I see some photos posted (Posted where? CT? eBay? other?) that not only include a coin but also with a favorite item/hobby. Here's my take which one do you prefer
    (Which is your take? They are all different. Others' preferences based on what? Image quality, coin selected, placement of the coin over the image, graphical layout, quality of the coin image, lighting...? Images are interpreted differently but your poll isn't going to be accurate without some definition of what kind of preference in poll takers you wish to understand.)
    Thanks for checking this out" ( You're welcome. )

    Last option in the poll, "What your out of mine"
    This makes no sense. We can only assume, if we can interpret correctly what you meant to write, that it should have read, "What? You're (You are) out of your mind."

    Are these images of trains and moose related to your hobby or just aesthetically pleasing to you? Are you a train enthusiast? Work(ed) for a train company? Build model railroads? A photographer who specializes in train photos and/or nature photos? How do they relate to YOU and your life or hobby or profession. Did you take these photos or do you also collect prints of these subjects? Are you an inspiring layout artist? Better defining them will make this thread hugely more complete.

    Presentation is everything. You don't have to be in such haste to post until you have all the details sorted out and have done a little proof reading. If having assembled this on a "smart phone", it clearly shows how unintelligent such devices are and how much more vigilant you must be in preparing and initiating a thread.

    I didn't vote in the poll because just like a candidate who doesn't tell me everything about their platform, they don't get my vote.

    Well I had mark Trains one reason when I was young I would have to get a train to hit NYC to buy coins or a bus but train was closer than the bus station.
    Plus the last 20 years I have had train tracks about five thousand feel away. So train have been a big part of my life.
    Yankee stadium also was on my train line in to NYC When I cut class on Wednesday afternoon for Yankee baseball games .

    I could see the train getting more votes because of a connection to a hobby. I know of no moose collectors. Many people have also ridden in a train. I have. But I have never ridden on a moose. Maybe some one likes the old Bullwinkle cartoons of the past? Kind of a strange comparison. I believe this to be a post in jest rather than a serious question. ???? Hopefully.

    Catskill mountain where I grew up we were about 30 - 50 miles from area that Moose where. But if you drove north on interstate 87 you had to watch out a Moose will destroy a car! Bullwinkle one hard animal when you meet at 65 mph

    I screwed that up it should have read
    "What are you out of your mind" but I couldn't change it.
    Next time I'll read before I post LOL
