Hello guys. I have been inactive on the discourse for quite a while as I was too caught up with college and work.  As a result of an unfortunate course of paperwork, I ended up losing my job and now have to part with my collection in order to raise funds to travel and see the family.

Anywho, now that the boring part is over, let’s get to the purpose of the thread. My name is Shiraz and my email address is m_shiraz@rocketmail.com. I am shipping within the continental US. Below are some of the goodies that I have collected over the years.

Greetings and welcome to our community. Hope you enjoy your time here

Welcome to the discourse. Quite the collection you've got there.

Quick question with regard to the steamboats in the second picture. Are they opened? And if so, what year are they?

Any-who, have fun and enjoy your time around here

Cheers!

Greetings, fellow card enthusiast!

Welcome to the discourse.  Feel free to browse around and ask about anything you don't find

I understand what you are feeling. Not too long ago, I had cut away a very small segment from the corner of my left index finger while I cooking. I don't usually cut myself, and never had a cut that severe.  Just keep the wound clean and it will heal in due time. Thankfully mine healed completely and with no scars. During the recovery process, I  practiced one handed cuts for the most part and would recommend the same to you.

Get well soon kid 

Looks really neat. 

The only constructive criticism I could think of is the illustration. It looks a little too "computerized" in my opinion (2nd picture).  Making it look a little more raw or rustic could help I guess.

Still, great idea. You should really go for it.

If i remember correctly, they were top view and front view...

Damn america is cheap! here is costs $899 to get a 4s.

I have a samsung galaxy Ace. Mostly because it was android and on a reliable plan for $30 a month

The only reason Iphones (and other phones) seem cheaper in the US is because them of being associated with contracts (usually 2yr long ones). The phone plan that a person is made to have, over an extended contract period, makes up for the phone's cost many times over.
The true cost of a phone,in this case, is the value of a new unlocked handset.

At all other places that I have been to, you usually

• buy any handset you like
  pick any operator you like
  (if you wish), you can select a plan you like, without the necessity of contractual obligation.
  

Pardon the rant. I digress.

Anywho, I own a Nokia N8. The reason I bought it is because it had the best camera out of any phone on the market at the time, and continued to be for a while. (12MP, Carl Zeiss Lens)

Currently wishing I could own

• Nokia 808, a 41mp camera sensor with pureview technology,
  Nokia Lumia 920 (flatmate has it, probably the best phone I have operated till date)
  Sony Ericsson Xperia go (Xperia advance in the US) or Xperia Arco s, both of which are water resistant, and (at least the go, if not both) can be operated under water. The Arco also has a 12MP camera on it, which will hopefully be a Cybershot/Zeiss.
  The ubuntu phone project seems interesting

Looking back at this post, I see that this as been quite the rant,so, once again, forgive the long read.

Yes, and to practically no avail, which is why asked people that were actually knowledgeable about them.
The only (hopefully) relevant info is the number in question, steamboat 999 (hoping that number can help determine the year of production).

Quick question....how much are the old Cincinnati steamboat decks worth?

Please elaborate on what you mean by responding to "the posts"

Add Altruism deck to the list. The little triangle/pyramid above the owl's head 'faces' the same direction on both ends of the back design.

EDIT: Fixed it. Thanks Don. Will keep that in mind.

Split Session by Blake Vogt may also be a good resource for your purpose.
