[meteorite-list] ID cards

[LITIG8NSHARK at aol.com]

Good day Folks,

Over the years I have received hundreds of different meteorite specimen cards 
and certificates.  The great variety added to the charm of the collection 
and, whether the card was on copy paper or card stock, it was appreciated.  
Occasionally I'd receive a specimen, or heaven forbid, several specimens without 
any identification.  I was then forced to go back to the auction page or contact 
the errant seller to sort out what was what.

When I began to sell SNCs and (drooling), "Bessey Specks" of Calcalong Creek 
(Lunar), I borrowed an idea from Rob Elliot and developed a nice looking 
Certificate of Authenticity.  Printed out on either glossy photo stock or photo 
quality paper, it was about 3 1/2 by 8 inches and contained a fair amount of 
information.  It takes only a minute or two to fill in the certificate on the 
computer, print it out in full color, sign it and place it in an envelope.  

If anyone is running PrintShop on their computer I'd be happy to send the 
Certificate file for your use/refinement.  If you don't have print shop but would 
like to see a JPG of the certificate I'll can forward that too.  Just drop me 
a line off-list.

Best Regards,

Paul Martyn
