Post by: a4man on April 04, 2012, 12:59:52 am
i know this is  rare back 20  years ago i was collecting all the idea and this is the one i never found

a collector has it and is selling he ask me to give a offer but dont want to overpay or upset him

any idea--wont let me take a picture--i dont think it matters  on condtion--it all there --straight- needs to be restored

i think its up there  as a r.c 81----any ideas on value--any one on here have one to compare  it has the same emboss as a hires-- its stamp in wards  thanks  in advance

i go see him in a couple of days--

        Yes, probably as rare as the RC 81 but not as valuable. I'd say $2000.00 but that's just a guess as supply and demand really dictates the price.
        If you don't buy it, I have a friend looking to buy one so please keep us posted.

Gotta chime in...I'd have to say that $2k would be fair but probably close to all the money right now.

Maybe he's worried about embedded information in the photograph information that will tell him when and where the picture was taken... Kinda scary, but I think that technology is available with the newer camera phones like I phone and such..  dont know for sure, but big brother is watching YOU! :glare:
