Interest in Ephemera

Dealer/Collector, Curator/Archivist

About Me:

I've been collecting ephemera for as long as I can remember. Before I even knew what ephemera was, actually.

Latest info... (June 5, 2009) It's come time to move house again, and I've taken this opportunity to go through my stuff and separate what's keepable from what needs to be thrown out.

I think I've cut the pile down to the best ten or fifteen percent (by volume.) The next step is to go through what remains, bag it up, catalog it and scan as much as I can. Of course I'll post scans of especially interesting things here as I make them.

Here's some things I've managed to scan and upload. It's kind of a mixed bag. And I do appreciate any comments--even negative ones, because I'm keen to separate the wheat from the chaff. There's two crates of this stuff!

Here's where I post scans when possible:

My tumblr page isn't really ephemera related. It's just clips of things I find interesting in the news and on the web... science, current events and some humor... if you're that bored you might take a look.

Zeno Izen commented on martyweil's blog post 'Weil-Ptak Standardized Ephemera Scale'

I'm curious why measure F-age rates newer items higher than older items. That seems to go in the opposite direction of the rest of the measures. And also, it says in your post "Measures A-E, graded along a 5-1 scale, going from smallest to larges...

That's a great idea. Hopefully, I can get a chance to try this on some things pretty soon.

Welcome, Great to have you aboard. Always good to hear from another collector of ephemera, we tend to be a very misunderstood bunch. look forward to hearing more about your collection.
