Hey Jamie!...I assume that you meant Mike. For some reason, people very
often call me John. I think it has something to do with my last name.
Anyway, I had posted the original message, so you must be talking to me. I
too was inspired by Stori-View , however I sold my cards and viewer in John
Saddys auction :-( . Ill guess Ill have to get another. What are they going
for these days? Im also interested in the mounts that you have made. What
kind of cardboard do you use? How are you laminating them? As well as
anything else about them. ......Also, about the Coney Island View Master
reels...When are you able to do them ( if you are still in to it)?...and
how much will it cost?...Thats all for now...Mike
