Did everybody make it?

Just checking on who made the transition to our new board. This appears to be a good thing. I like the posting features (spell check particularly). I'm attaching a pic. for test purposes.

This board is similiar to other ones I use - the features are great. makes it easier to attach pictures and files. i'll post a pic too - here is a box for a basketball from the 1930's. got this my last year of high school on a trip to brimfield with my dad - $25!

Back in the early to mid 1990's we had great luck there - bats and gloves galore. As time has gone on things have dried up. Since I've moved to IL I haven't been able to go back so I can't speak for the past 4 years. My dad finds a couple things there but not like the good old days. It's hard because you're competing against the guys from Hunt's auction, Bob McCann and other big dealers who have access to some of the fields way before the general public can get in there.

I HATE WHEN THAT HAPPENS!!! It really turns it into a stressful situation when you have dealers holding things under the table for the big boys when collectors would probably pay as well.

I always wondered about that as well. Collectors would pay more for an item because they aren't going to try and and resell it right way. And if one of the big boys wants it, you know it's gotta be something so why not try and get more from a collector - I'm just an elementary school teacher but that seems like simple economics to me.

Re: Did everybody make it?

Looks like I made it, but...... I can't for the life of me figure out how to attach a pic......

Can somebody explain what a URL is or help this idiot out?

Good thing I have a day job.

Thanks,

Re: Did everybody make it?

There a couple of ways to post a picture. If you click on the paper clip icon it will bring up a "manage attachments" box. Click on the "browse" button and find the picture on your computer. On you have selected it, click on the "upload" button to the right. You should then see the file attached where it says "current attachments." Scroll to the bottom, click close window and you'll be back to posting screen. Click submit reply and it will be posted. Hope that helps.
