All right. As I said, the PS site is ready enough to post. However, there's been one last section that's been boggling my brain. The site is functional without it, so I was just going to add it later... but since Scott's uber busy, I might as well try to take the time to work on that section.

So here is where I ask for help! I wanted to do the promo/misc. stuff section, consisting of stuff like those Planescape badges, the GenCon pins, stickers, uncut Blood Wars sheets, Flasks, etc., but I am a little unsure of how to present them...

What should be included/excluded? What kind of information should be given? Should they be categorized in any manner? (Insert other question that you thought of and I did not, here)?

I've no doubt I can put something together, but I'm curious if anyone has any creative input. Thanks!

Oh, and another big question - Which section is best for the Sketchbook. Wink It's often included in the Planescape product list on various sites, but I've always thought of it more as the section I'm discussing above, especially since it has no product number and is hard to place a definitive value on... Hmm.

I would say include them all, there's not that many for Planescape and these oddballs are some of the most fun items to collect.

Include everything! Sketchbook should definately go into that section.

Post a list of what you need scans for once things are getting together. I'm sure between the lot of us we can get a bunch of it together Wink

As for information.. well, anything that you know is 100% accurate, really. Any stuff that's not gauranteed accurate, maybe include in a section of the item listing that clearly mentions that.

I agree post everything.  There are plenty of resources out there for learning about the common items; its the ones that come up rarely that are lacking in documentation.

Thank you for the advice. I'll definitely take it. :} As for scans, I think I'll just be needing some of the odd stuff...  

If anyone has the pewter version of the Lady of Pain buckle, or the resin Lady of Pain pin and that white background Lady of Pain tin pin that was posted a long while ago... I heard tales of a Lady of Pain pewter box akin to the flask that would be nice to have a picture of (anyone confirm this?), as well as perhaps an example of an uncut sheet of Blood Wars cards and the Blood Wars shirt.

That's all that I can think of for now from going through what I've got and what I know of. This section is going slower than I thought. But, at any rate, the rest of the site can go up when Scott has the time to get to me, and that section added as it's ready.

Ohh! Thank you!

That solves a big mystery of mine. When I got mine from Mr. Burrage, it was said that not many were made, and I've always been curious. That certificate of authenticity in the picture solves that question! (and there were a lot more made than we thought!)

Great price for that, too. I'm pretty sure eyeofvecna is on here... could someone point out the screen name? I'd love to share a PM about that certificate and what exactly it says... er, whenever it arrives, that is. Smile If not, my bad. Razz

For what it is worth, when that item was first mentioned in the Planescape forum, I did a quick search and found an association to the name Ian Burrage with a company called Ultimate Buckles Ltd.
Here is a link to their website (they have a nice looking Red Dwarf buckle on their site Smile but I did not see the Planescape item)

http://www.ultimatebuckles.com/

Norfolk UK business operating as "The Norfolk Pewter Mines".

They seem to do a lot of custom and novelty work.

Edit: In the drop down for Buckles in the upper left corner of their site, click on the link to "Gothic". The buckle in at the bottom of the page, although it does not mention that it is a limited edition. The company also has an eBay store. This does not appear to be an officially licensed product.

Hey hey. So sorry I haven't been around much lately! Had gotten a new semi-temporary job that's been a *lot* of work. Haven't had much of a life recently.

For site update: Still haven't finished the misc. section, but it's certainly done enough to stand on it's own without it. I posted some of the site on my own personal web space to show Scott back in December and I'm quite happy that he liked it! So, yeah, it exists. I promise. Wink I've got the go-ahead to upload it, so as soon as I update the item values with recent ebay auctions (and if I don't go crazy and completely forget...Razz), I'll upload it so Scott can do what he needs to.

I appreciate all of your patience for this and apologize for it taking so darn long! I hope you'll find it worth it when it goes live.

Hi all.  Um...this is my first post to the forum, so please accept my apologies if I inadvertently break the rules (written or otherwise)...
I came across the forum when doing some research into selling my RPG-related stuff, and I gather that Azurah is looking for the pewter Lady of Pain belt buckle.  Well - I have one (in near-mint condition no less!), and can post or send some pictures if you're interested...?  If you want me to email them, send me a PM.
