Hello Listers and night owls or morning people
I agree about signing ID cards. I always sign the back of the card, with the
weight of the fragment and also I print my name and put my IMCA number. I like
to use double sided matte paper and I find 50 to 61 lb weight works well. But

Hello all,
Thanks to all who mentioned my website in this discussion!
I'm glad that it is useful for some of you.
Any new labels (cards, handwritings) are always welcome! You can send them

Hi Shawn and anyone else pondering this question.
I'd suggest you consider using a Fine Art paper. There are plenty made for
inkjet printers now. You can buy a few sample packs for only a few dollars each
and see if there are any that match what you want in you card's paper.

Hi Folks,
A while back I printed up a batch of specimen cards that had my usual
graphic logo on the front, and the back had a blank specimen card form
with fields for name, type, weight, comments, etc. I only printed
about 100 of these cards and I gave them out with my more-expensive or

Hi all,
I always include my own specimen card with any specimen that i sell on
and have done since i started collecting. This is not because i place
any importance on myself or the 'added value' that this might place on

Hi all,
I appreciate the points you make Mike G and understand where you are coming
from. However i am not saying that the cards 'prove' the chain of ownership
only add to the overall picture. Of course you are right in what you say
about having trust in the person you are acquiring specimens
Signing the cards is just another step in fraud protection, but as
anyone who appreciates collecting autographs understands, signatures
are very easy to forge, and most all fake signatures are accompanied
by a certificate of authenticity. While it would make it more
difficult to reproduce, if

Being an autograph collector, that's absolutely true. It's difficult to
verify a signature, even with several samples for comparison. People's
signatures do change slightly with age - sometimes more than slightly. And
people don't always sign an item the same way - for example, sometimes

Here's my two cents, pure and simple - this paper is 110% bullshit.

The first time that NASA announced they found fossils in a Martian

little fanfare. Intrigued, I looked into the literature on magnetotactic
