Great list Ray. I'd leave you 33 reps for this if the site would let me? ;-D

One I saw that was not listed was "Old Pete" for a Confederate Army General-Longstreet I believe? Jeff please correct me if the name is wrong ;-D

 

hey carl,thanks mate...glad it is of interest,ray..

 

hi Ray, definately. I had never heard of many of them in there but knew of many of them ;-0)

 

I didn't see your nickname there carl? ha!ha!...

 

Which is? ;-))

Believe it or not? I actually was christened: Patton Jr, because everyone in school knew how much I liked studying anything and everything about WWII.

 

well! theres a lot to see in that carl...and knowledge/collecting! you,ve kept it going? so it was very apt,ray..

 

The downside to all of the above, is that it keeps me poor. Just today I managed to do another deal with a dealer so that I could have some credit with them. Not sure how much credit ill have but-thats ok-I don't know what future item(s) ill be getting from them ;-))

 

serious buying season eh!!

 

Certainly ;-0)

And I THOUGHT I was going to relax a bit on purchasing or trying for photos but-I found about a dozen RKT award creremony pics and I bid on all of them. Currently i am still in the lead for about 7 of them. im letting a few go so I cna concentrate my monies on the better pics. If i could afford it/ i'd bid on all of them in an attempt to keep them together.

 

good luck with bidding,and hope to see your pics,if and when you win,ray..

 

Hi RAy, I got back later than I wanted to today so missed out on all but aboout 6-and then some SOB was using that automatic bidding feature so I knew I was going to lose all of them, however, I wa able to double the amount that same SOB was going to pay-on several other photos. I know this bast__d has deep pockets and paying more doesn;t bother him, so--when I see something really good, I WILL be biding extremely high-just to get some revenge on this pig. :-D

 

sadist,ha! ha! carl...

 

Heh heh, and this guy got every one of those RKT pics-most at higher cost than they could have gone gor. Didn't someone write at onetime something that said: "Vengeance is mine sayeth the Lord". Well, I got some revenge and also that bidder who has zero feedback, well, I officially delared war on that person(s) and even if I lose out on my bids against him(them), I will guarentee you he will be paying a LOT more for won photos than he would normally have to pay :-D

Also, doesn't it take away from the whole purposee of the site to not even participate in the bidding? That's where most of the fun is-when you do that instead of having that auto bid crap feature.

 

I tried that once upped the bid and when the time came! the other guy didn't bid anymore? oh! $300 I thought to myself you prat!!!!!!

 

old pete, or gloomy pete they also called him carl.
