DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9865 Posts	Posted 06/02/2011 11:11 pm I'm going to this event on Saturday,I have a few items I'm hoping Ms.Blunt will sign. What kind of ink would be best for an ICCS flip? I'm curious to see who the expert from J&M will be Phoned there 3 times today to get some info on a coin they have,I might as well have phoned Walmart,they may know more about coins there than the people I talked to at J&M. Things sure have changed at J&M over the last 20 years. Report this Post to the Staff

medaldetector New Member 19 Posts	Posted 06/03/2011 3:41 pm DBM , the only good marker for writing on plastic etc. is a Staedtler LUMICOLOR (fine) marker available in diffrent colours. It even needs its own dedicated pen like remover for mistakes. Good luck Report this Post to the Staff

DBM Pillar of the Community Canada 9865 Posts	Posted 06/06/2011 01:47 am Went to this event on Saturday In my rush to catch the ferry to Vancouver I left the items I wanted Ms.Blunt to sign in my jacket pocket by the door. Had to buy an Uncirculated set there to get signed,it'll have to do Small world,met uncle al from this forum there,hope you got the appraisal and items signed that you wanted Report this Post to the Staff
uncle al Valued Member Canada 311 Posts	Posted 06/06/2011 12:12 pm Hi DBM, I also had to buy a Canada set and have Suzanna sign the inside. I was able to open the package, have her sign it, then let the ink dry and then put a paper towel inside to let it dry. The first try putting it back in the package, the ink ran. I finally succeeded at home. One thing that I did get her to sign was the Canucks Conference final hat rim. She was quite surprised when I asked her to sign it. I took a couple of coins, as well as the gold coin, that were of different grades to see how close I came to Darrens appraisals. I don't know if I was reading too much into the add, but I thought they were being graded and slabbed. Did anyone else see it in the add or am I just imagining things. I did meet some nice people though. Report this Post to the Staff
