Hi,

no problem, if you find some time in the next week-end for a picture, it will be great. Otherwise, I will use the pictures I found here

Thank you!

Excellent

!

Thank you to everyone here for their assistance to Geraud.

Geraud, can we expect to have access to a copy of the article once published eg in the form of a pdf posted here?
Would Casus Belli be ok? Even in French, this could interest all members. Do you know in which issue the subject should be published?

It will be published in Issue #6, so the next one (will be released in the end of mars, start april if there is no delay).

I will ask if it is possible to offer the article in pdf here but I'm not sure it will be possible as long as the CB#7 is not released.

Thanks Geraud.
Of course my ask was not to get the article before the publication. If it is available after, it would be great.

Huh, weird. Me too. I would have thought you'd been collecting longer than that.

Geraud - I am working on this right now!

Got it Steve, thanks!

I am currently working on the final text. Mark, if you can send me pics of your collection, it would be great. I notice that most of huge collectors have their collection in boxes and dispatched all around their houses or their offices. Finally, few of us have their collection will displayed.
So I need pics of huge collection nicely displayed

For those who participate, how do you want your names appear?
First name "Acaeum login" surname?

Let me know (PM me if you don't want to write your full name here).

That would be a pretty cool format.

i agree with historian, that format works well. William "Stratochamp" Meinhardt

it doesn't work so well if one has picked a name like buffotheartclown as one's acaeum handle however

so please, future acaeumites, don't pick a name like buffotheartclown.

The article is finished and will be published in Casus Belli #6. I will send a pdf of the article to all persons involved. I do hope I didn't forget anyone in credits in the mag :roll:

(if yes, I'm very sorry)
http://www.black-book-editions.fr/index.php?site_id=237

Thank you very much to all of you, even people that offered to help but have not be able to considering the time I had (I asked very late, sorry).
So huge thanks! And for all pictures. I don't know how many will be included, but I hope as much as possible

As for the article itself, I was very limited by the available place so I used your ideas and your personal histories but not your texts themselves. However, some texts were very interesting so I think you should post them on Acaeum

Seriously, you should!
French collectors are not "hardcore" collectors so the article deals essentially with generalities, French games, French point of view of collecting, and so on. I am not sure it will be very informative for our Acaeum community but it was a great opportunity to present our hobby to the French public.

I will post some pictures I took and that I didn't use

I'm sorry I couldn't get you anything on such short notice, GÃ©raud. If you do a follow-up piece, I'll be happy to help out
