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 thru the website (must register) or directly to my email ([email protected])
For me one of the most interesting part of the website is "Unknown labels". So far I had only 5 requests from collectors to display "unknown" labels and it looks like three of them were identified! I think it is good when collectors can share their knowledge and help each other. All the best, Sergey http://labels.sv-meteorites.com -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Saturday, March 05, 2011 1:21 AM To: [email protected]; [email protected]; [email protected] Subject: Re: [meteorite-list] Meteorite Cards SUGGESTION Hello, Thank you Michael for the suggestion and the offer of help, but I would much prefer to see dealers invent their own cards. And I have to agree with Dr. David, the wide range and variety in ID cards is interesting and entertaining, also it does show a certain evolution in interests and priorities. If you haven't yet, I would recommend you take a look at Sergey's very interesting site about labels: _http://labels.sv-meteorites.com/_ (http://labels.sv-meteorites.com/) Not only the size, shape, fonts, .... have changed a lot over the years (centuries?) but also the information itself, names of meteorites and classes have changed. Very interesting. Also I certainly agree that cards are very important and should be passed along with the specimens, and I do it as often as possible, remembering that only a few years ago provenance was not the hot topic it is now. It all changed when a certain "dealer" started selling extremely rare pieces with highly suspect provenance. I am sure some of you will remember that problem. Anne M.

Part of the fun of having the cards is to see what people of various backgrounds and times think is pleasing. It's interesting to see how the various museums designed their cards, what current and past dealers include on theirs, the different fonts, colors, etc. Variety is the spice of life, and I like all the different types of cards that are out there.

This would be rather simple, and IMCA members could submit a JPG of A given card and someone of the officers Could choose the best to use for a generic Card. It could also include a space for the Specific IMCA member number as well As a generic IMCA logo. Of course, this would not benefit dealers And collectors NOT members of the IMCA, But that would be fine with me. For what its worth, Michael PS: If a board member doesn't want to be Bothered, I would be willing to choose from Among entrants and then offer it to the IMCA To have on their site so members could download The JPG and then modify it with their name, URL And IMCA membership number. ______________________________________________ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list ______________________________________________ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteoritecentral.com/mailing-list-archives.html Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
