Today, I was flipping through my eight dollar copy of R. Bruce Hoadley’s “Understanding Wood—” a “must read,” in my opinion—when THIS fell out: I’m told that—once I get it authenticated—it’s worth “upwards of $350-400.” A truly valuable woodworking book, indeed -- -- Neil |

And I bet it won’t cost more than $500-600 to get it authenticated. Great find. Where did you get the book? Jerry -- Jerry Boshear, Professional Kitchen Designer, amature woodworker. |

$22.50 for a Pink Floyd ticket… Wow. Now that Michael Jordan pic is a great find. Let’s hope you don’t need to spend about $350 in getting it authenticated. |

The authentication fee—from THE place that does these things—is $100. I have to figure out whether hanging onto this is the better move. It might go up in value, over time. I just paid $37.50 to see the Dark Star Orchestra—a Grateful Dead COVER band (albeit, an exceptionally good one). $20-ish for a Floyd show ? No matter HOW long ago it was … Kill me, now. Also …. forgetting where you put that Floyd ticket—to me—just makes sense. This Jordan thing … not quite so much ;-) -- -- Neil |

I knew I left that somewhere. :~0 I would keep on that for a bit, it shouldn’t loose value. Nice find, but the Floyd Ticket is worth more to me than the MJ pic. -- Bill - "Freedon flies in your heart like an Eagle" Audie Murphy |
