Ah the fabled Black Lotus... it takes me back. Not that I ever owned one or even saw one, but everyone of it in awed reverence. I guess the irony of the above cards is that only with the scribble on them would any regular Joe be able to possess one.

As one poster already commented, there may actually be enough dakka on this...

MiJ. My dad , a stamp collector, had an interesting story about triggering folks. Years ago a collector spent quite a high amount of money at an auction to buy one of the two remaining stamps of a very, very rare printing. Once he had received his new prize he proceed to burn it in front of everybody. The he said at the screaming, triggered crowd: "As I have the only remaining stamp, now it is priceless."

That Ork thing seems impressive, but as if there is enough dakka... I think we need the admiral's opinion before such a rotund affirmation."

M.

PD: Not exactly FB stuff but I found in Dakka that Hasslefree sells this.

nice idea, here. (btw, I need to find a way to resize pics from facebook. Any suggestions, chaps? I mean, without saving it to my own HD and fiddling with it. Some kind of img tags or something)

That's smooooth!

As for images, it's a couple steps but I save on imgur and edit the image to be 1000 pixels across.

If you're using Imgur it can resize the pictures when you post. From the link generation page, select Large Thumbnail and the option for a Linked Forum post.
Also, your images are always too wide when I view them, 800 pixels across might be better. I think it depends on which platform you are viewing the site on and which format the forum uses.

*high fives all around as, after 8 years of using this forum, we figure out how to share pictures easily*

And the backdrop and base really make that miniature. Very 80's late-night music programming.
