This is a duplicate of the post on the main board but Leon gave me permission as an advertiser to hit both so I'm gonna do it!

With Leons permission I wanted to take a second and announce a new Auction venture, RMY Auctions. You can register at the link below.
www.RMYAuctions.com
I know it seems like there are Auction Houses starting every five minutes, but this is specialized. It will be ONLY Vintage Photography, and the finest examples in the hobby. Our first auction will be the highest quality and largest accumulation of vintage Sports (and non-sports) photographs ever offered.
We will also be the first Auction venue to offer a lifetime Guarantee on EVERYTHING we sell, forever, and offer the lowest buyers premium in the hobby at 7.9%.
The first Auction will feature between 1000-1200 lots, all of which are Auction House Quality. A short slideshow is available for viewing now, with the full auction being available for preiew in about 2 weeks. Our selection of Babe Ruth and Lou Gehrig photos alone are worth the 2 minutes it will take to register, add in the fact that we have the largest selection of 1919 White Sox and 1927 Yankees images ever assembled as well as the greatest collection of early career/Rookie images on the planet and it will truly be a special offering. ALL Sports will be represented as well as non-sports. Feel free to e mail me or call with any questions or concerns and I would love to answer them.
ALSO, I offer free photo opinions to any and all registered bidders at any time, NO LIMIT. If anyone who is registered as a bidder EVER has a question about any photograph in their personal collection, on ebay, or in the auction, drop me a line or call me on the phone and I will give you a free opinion as to its authenticity, approximae value, age etc. I LOVE photos and appreciate any chance I have to talk about them with my fellow collectors!
Please take a second to go to the site and register (it takes almost no time at all and everyone is approved) and I guarantee you will find it worth your while, even if you have no intention of ever bidding. When the full preview goes up, you will see..... The photos are truly breathtaking!

I want to take a second as well and thank all of the friends I have made on this site over the last 14 years. I remember registering for the parent board of Net54 in late 1999 as a 23 year old College Student and it has been a regular part of my life ever since. I have made some very close friends and had the opportunity to meet hundreds if not thousands of other great, passionate collectors over the years. I honestly could not have started this new venture without the business and support of all of you on this forum. A sincere thanks to each and every person I have ever crossed paths with, and hoping to meet all the rest of you in the years to come!
