This Idiot Can't Be Serious.

I've worked in the paper industry for 40 years. I retired from a sulfite mill, and still work with them as a contractor. I have a friend who works at a Wisconsin sulfite mill which is making printing and writing paper.

The statements by the pouch-seller are complete gibberish. Especially the part about chlorine. It is rarely used anymore in the paper industry due to multiple environmental concerns.

What he is apparently doing is soaking paper in a sodium sulfite or bisulfite solution and drying it, then cutting pieces to put in his pouches. Sulfur in this form is a strong reducing agent and will tarnish silver. I'm not confident that it would produce astonishing rainbow toning. It would more likely turn silver black or sooty colored.

You'll probably have better luck striking matches under silver coins to tone them. I've taken polished shiny walkers back to an age-appropriate look by doing this. It's a combined effect of sooty grime and reduced sulfur gas (SO2) released by the burning match head.

Think he's got that covered too, he switched up the titles.

Frog - please be sure it's an icky Amazing. Even though that title isn't usually worth much I'd hate to be the reason that one of them was destroyed. Now send me all your Doc Savage, Shadow, G-8, and other hero or horror and I'd definitely have some silver goodies for you.

I used to have a ton of Doc Savage books, traded them to my ex-father-in-law many years ago for some hockey cards, along with trading him most of my other Silver Age and early Modern books (12-15 centers) -- he was a former comic/sportscard shop owner/dealer. Picked up some nice 60s Parkies and some early 70s OPC's Habs cards, Rocket etc.

Only kept a handful of SA books, Amazing War Stories, Detective Comics, etc.

He prob trying to game the ebay search engine. Isn't that against ebay policy.

Mostly it annoys me that he puts a super close in photo of a AT Morgan. You need to show or tell someone what they are getting. Not just have a photo of something that susposanly your product does. I'm not sure you can get colors like that without heat from like a blow torch or pan frying.

I'm not above artificially toning sorta, my pocket piece haha. Started storing it in this old antique oak telephone Dynamo box that is like 130 years old at night.

Nothing.

The thread title is a little harsh.

That's right. Use the alpha-numeric code:

Idiot = $2 + $3 s/h*






*note the seller is located overseas

If you don't want to use paper you can use some of the yolk of a hard boiled egg, an onion, or garlic. All are high in sulfur compounds.
