Long story Joe. I took ill in 2008 with a health problem that took the typically crap NHS till late 2009 to diagnose through refusing me scans/treatment etc. Got abit disillusioned with collecting and pretty much fully sold up over 2008/2009.
Bagged 2 more new items anyway. Matching Cromalin and Proof Card (both AFA-85's) for the ROTJ 1st photo of Han. Pretty tough -the Cromalins unique and i only know of four 65A proofs. Cromalin arrived this morning so again, lame photos, but was excited...
I could do with Joe taking my photos after seeing those 8D8 cromalin and proof photos on Rebelscum. I end up with washed out shots in if use natural light and camera glare if i use flash. I end up taking about 100 shots and hoping for the best!!!
Sorry to hear about your health issues Steve I hope you are on the mend now?
That matching proof and cromalin double act are awesome! Wow!
I confess I am also a very poor photographer, in fact when I was working on the cromalin + proof deals in 2009 they both came from US collectors so I had them sent to Shawn K before they
came to me and Shawn is an awesome photographer - so bit of a cheat but yeah those aren't my shots (I tend to have the same issues as you!)
All I know is that if you want the best shots you need a good camera, a tripod or a damn steady hand and a light tent with good lighting! Somehow I don't think I will be able to persuade my wife that we need a light tent just so I can take pictures of my toys :lol:

Hi Joe
Right place at the right time I guess?
Managed to combine him with some other tri logo's at a price buyer & seller were both happy with (a bit like the Tri Logo Jawa cardback valuation thread).

I have missed pages & pages of first class new additions. What's the special deal with the Tri Luke Jedi??? Blue saber?
Scottie, congrats on the Blue Saber Tri. He looks great!
Steve, that's amazing that you picked up the Cromalin and Proof in one go. I don't think I've ever seen a photo I'd consider lame with pieces like that in them.
Really great haul there mrbazer1. It looks like Christmas came early to your home.

Yeah I'm doing abit of Escorting on the side, weasel. Smashing through middle-aged house-wives for £200 an hour. Its £250 if they've been through the Menopause.
Anyway, this week, one old lady gave me this as a token of her devotion to my prowess...
ROTJ 2nd photo Han Cromalin, offerless, and with marked changes made at Kenner.
I tried my best to take a close-up of the text on the COA provided by Tom Neiheisel as I thought it might be interesting to anyone new to preproduction, or to collecting. Most (like my other two ROTJ cromalins) seem to have lost their COA's along the way. AFA in their widsom binned the one that was sent with that grade piece I showed earlier in this thread :roll: .
Cheers, Steve
