Hello all,

Thanks to all who mentioned my website in this discussion!
I'm glad that it is useful for some of you.
Any new labels (cards, handwritings) are always welcome! You can send them
thru the website (must register) or directly to my email
(vs.petrovich at gmail.com)

For me one of the most interesting part of the website is "Unknown labels".
So far I had only 5 requests from collectors to display "unknown" labels and
it looks like three of them were identified!
I think it is good when collectors can share their knowledge and help each
other.

All the best,
Sergey

Hello,

Thank you Michael for the suggestion and the offer of help, but I would
much prefer to see dealers invent their own cards.
And I have to agree with Dr. David, the wide range and variety in ID cards
is interesting and entertaining, also it does show a certain evolution in
interests and priorities. If you haven't yet, I would recommend you take a
look at Sergey's very interesting site about labels:
_http://labels.sv-meteorites.com/_ (http://labels.sv-meteorites.com/)

Not only the size, shape, fonts, .... have changed a lot over the years
(centuries?) but also the information itself, names of meteorites and
classes
have changed. Very interesting.

Also I certainly agree that cards are very important and should be passed
along with the specimens, and I do it as often as possible, remembering that
only a few years ago provenance was not the hot topic it is now. It all
changed when a certain "dealer" started selling extremely rare pieces with
highly suspect provenance. I am sure some of you will remember that problem.

Just my opinion, but I think a standard ID card would be boring. Part of
the fun of having the cards is to see what people of various backgrounds and
times think is pleasing. It's interesting to see how the various museums
designed their cards, what current and past dealers include on theirs, the
different fonts, colors, etc. Variety is the spice of life, and I like all
the
different types of cards that are out there.

May I suggest submissions be made to the
IMCA for a standard ID card the size of a
Standard business card be offered by the
IMCA and leave room to put in the Dealer
Name and website URL.
This would be rather simple, and
IMCA members could submit a JPG of
A given card and someone of the officers
Could choose the best to use for a generic
Card. It could also include a space for the
Specific IMCA member number as well
As a generic IMCA logo.
Of course, this would not benefit dealers
And collectors NOT members of the IMCA,
But that would be fine with me.
For what its worth, Michael
PS: If a board member doesn't want to be
Bothered, I would be willing to choose from
Among entrants and then offer it to the IMCA
To have on their site so members could download
The JPG and then modify it with their name, URL
And IMCA membership number.
