Hi Richard M.,
Great question, I appreciate you asking but it is not necessary. If you buy
an item from us or anyone and it comes with an ID card, I would say you can
certainly say it is from whatever collection, museum or otherwise that it
came from. We used to hand write most of the info on the ID's back in the
day. If you have any of the white paper ones, that is getting real old
school as far as our ID's go. We went to the more rigid parchment stock
several years ago. Seems ID cards are an ever-evolving process for us.
Best Regards,
Greg

List, I've always wondered if it were proper to offer provenence display
cards in ebay listings. For instance, Greg and others, I've purchased a
duplicate specimens from you over the past number of years, since someday
when the necessity calls, I'll be able to sell one and keep the other for my
collection. Can one say it's "from the Hupe collection" for example? I've
felt that it is proper to ask first. What's proper?
Also, reflecting on hand-written cards...I love them!

Hello Everyone!
I always like the ID Card discussions over the years. I agree with those
who like different styles of cards from the different 'personalities' of
collectors and dealers. In fact, I use two different styles which are
different in size as well. I use glossy business card stock for planetary
and extremely rare types for a color ID card, and then I use just black
ink on tan parchment stock for all other types. Since I have two different
ID card styles, does that mean I have a split 'personality'?... probably!!
;-)
Hope everyone has a great weekend!!
Best Regards,
Greg

Hey all,
As one who recently needed to come up with a design, I'm more of the
opinion that cards reflect the personality of the person who produced it.
I had gone through Sergey's pages some time ago. Thanks Anne for posting
the link.
For my own cards I went through the collection of cards I have accumulated
building my own collection, picking out the four or five that had the
features and details I wanted. Unfortunately none matched exactly the look
I wanted. I put together what I wanted in Photoshop, but almost any
graphics program would work just as well.
A common card might be nice for those that don't have the time or need to
generate custom cards.
I do like the variety of cards. Each one reminds me of the dealer
themselves. I'd go so far as to say the cards themselves are collectible
too.
One last thing, Avery, the company that makes office supplies has software
to help design (business) cards and has an online tool to assist in this
too. Once on their site, http://www.avery.com follow the template and
software advisor link on the left to find their various tools.
