[meteorite-list] A request for ALL dealers - please read! :)

2009-02-21 Thread Michael Gilmer 
Hi Listees!

I have a humble request for all of the dealers who are on the list.

Please consider standardizing your specimen cards to fit into the
display window of 3x4 Riker box.  Roman Jirasek's labels are
great, but there are many falls or finds not represented in his
inventory yet - especially for the hot desert meteorites.  So I'd
like to use the specimen cards I receive from many of you when
I purchase the piece.  Some of you make very nice cards that would
serve double duty as display labels, but the labels are too wide
or otherwise not sized to fit the Riker window. 

Some of the specimen labels I have from various dealers are very
attractive and I can tell that some thought and creative energy
went in to designing them.  Since the 3x4 Riker box is a widely
used collector standard, I'd just like to kindly float the
suggestion that the big dealers design their specimen cards to
display in these boxes accordingly.

Best regards,

MikeG

Hi Michael,

What size card would you think to be optimal?  I realize specimen sizes can 
vary, and sometimes I may put a larger slice in a 3x4 Riker box that creates 
an issue with label size.


I'm still experimenting with label sizes, and would be interested in your 
thoughts.
