			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>By: <b>Mrs. Magoo</b></em>
<div style="float:left;padding: 12px"><a href="/wp-content/uploads/cc/All_fantasy12.jpg"><img src="/wp-content/uploads/cc/All_fantasy12.jpg" alt='All fantasy' /></a></div>
<p>“What? Did I hear you right? There are Moms playing Fantasy Football?” Yes! This phenomenon started 7 years ago for me. I headed into my first online Fantasy Football draft while nursing my daughter. My team, Mom&#8217;s Army, had some success, and that is how the obsession started!</p>
<p>In my league, I was the only woman, and even though I knew a thing or two about football, I wasn’t sure a fantasy team was something I could pull off! So- I made my picks for Team Mom’s Army, and headed into battle against 11 other players.</p>
<p>I wasn’t exactly sure how the draft was going to go. I had done some online research, but had done just enough to be dangerous. After the first round was over, I knew I was in trouble because people were picking players for running backs still, and not knowing what I was doing I picked a kicker. I got jeered in the comment box, but I just kept plugging along doing the only thing I knew how. I picked players I had heard of. Now that seems reasonable, doesn&#8217;t it? The most amazing thing was that the people I picked turned out to be pretty good, and I came in near the top that year!</p>
<p>Each year I have learned a little bit more about fantasy football, but by far the biggest lesson I learned last year, is that research does pay off! This past year I thought I “knew it all” and could wing it at the last minute. You would think after 7 years I would know what to do just off the top of my head. Not SO! That and hampered by my youngest not going to bed on time and continually getting up, set me up for a terrible season!! What I thought I knew about players from last year was not really what was valid that season. So, let me give you a few pointers on how to jump into the fantasy football game, and come out ahead! This should be a lesson that each year you start fresh. Which means that if you are a beginner, the playing field levels a bit year after year, so you can jump in and do well, even if this is your first time.</p>
<p>First off, don’t let it scare you! Just because you have never watched football, or you think you won’t be good, should not be a reason to quit before you try! There is a whole lot of luck in the game! Some of the “best players” could be injured (think Tom Brady) or some nobody could score big points.</p>
<p>Secondly, there are sites to help! There are so many things set up to help you during your draft and throughout the season. I have always been a part of the Yahoo Fantasy Leagues, because they give you hints each week during play, and good information during the draft! If you don’t know who to pick up for a player, it chooses for you.</p>
<p>Once you have decided on a league to join, start your research. There is a lot of information out there and it can be overwhelming! Just start simple. I will usually use three sites for information to start. My top pick for sites are Yahoo Fantasy, ProFootballTalk, and FF Toolbox. The first place to start is draft central in whatever league you sign up for. See who they have picked as their top players. Click on the links to read a little about why they think each player will do well. This is what I do for my top three sites. Look to see who they have picked for each position. Who are their top Running Backs? Why did they pick those players? Print out their chart of who they would pick and their order of players. This will be your first line of defense during the draft. Use each of these to figure out why one place ranks them as #3 and another as #5. They will probably give reasons, but if not it will give you an idea of who should be your pick based on the experts. Now if this is scaring you already, don’t let it. You don’t have to remember a THING! This is just to get your feet wet. Just remember that if all else fails, sit back and let your fantasy draft pick for you. If you use Yahoo it will do this automatically if you can&#8217;t make up your mind.</p>
<p>Once you have your list, it is a good idea to go through the first 15-20 players and make sure that there isn’t anything that has happened to them. Let’s say they picked someone like Michael Vick without knowing that he in fact was arrested. This could be a problem! These stories might be a big deal to people into football, but you might not really know anything about it. Check out ProFootballTalk.com to find the latest information about this. I have not found a better site to get you in the game quickly. Often you will get information there before anyplace else has it! Just reading this site for about a week, will get you &#8220;in the know&#8221; quickly about what is going on around the league. I have used this site to sound savvy more than once! In fact, it is a good place to go and then use one of their articles to start up a conversation with your husband. (ex. Did you know that the Dolphins are thinking of trading Ronnie Brown?) This type of thing is sure to perk up a husband who thinks they know it all about football. Now- once you give away your ProFootballTalk.com secret, it will be likely those conversations go more like this….”Did you know that the Dolphins are thinking of trading Ronnie Brown?” Husband: “I read that too.” Either way, it is an amazing way to get into the details of the game.</p>
<p>I urge you to start now with your research! Start to get a feel for who the players are, and feel like you are in the mix of things so that by fantasy draft time you are more prepared to get into it!</p>
<p>Go to Yahoo Fantasy Football. Sign up! I will tell you that if you are involved in a fantasy team, you will be more likely to enjoy ALL of the games that are on tv, because you will have players on your team from all over the league! You will want to know what they are doing and how many points you are getting! See what everyone is talking about! Don’t let any of it scare you! If you are involved, football will be better and a TON of fun!</p>

<p>Although eating in various places of the household. The dining room is the one place where were a majority of the household comes together for a sit down meal. It is often reserved for special occasions. Having a nice dining room set is crucial for those of you who like to be the host and have visitors over. I will discuss various dining room sets within this article.</p>
<p>Standard Dining Room Set</p>
<p>The standard dining room set is merely nothing more than a table and usually around four chairs. Due to the limited item this set is probably the most economical. I recommend Malaysian Oak with a cappuchino  or cocoa finish. You can find a good set for around $500-700. When choosing a stye it is best to keep it keep it simple; a basic rectangural or square table with four seats shall do the job. It is critical that everyone is comfortable, spacing can be an issue especially in an apartment or condo. </p>
<p>Formal Dining Room Sets</p>
<p>A Formal Dining room set is set to accomidate a minimum of six people and a buffet. The buffet shall be large enough for several dishes to fit  Space should not be an issue when choosing to include this into your home. Formal dining room sets are tipically reserved for those who like to host. A well cooked meal can take several hours to prepare. There is no better way to enjoy it than with family and friends on a table large enough to seat everyone.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>By: <b>Jim Kemish</b></em><br /><strong>The Foundation of Credit Repair Success</p>
<p></strong></p>
<p>It’s time to take stock. Where are you today? Are your finances stable enough to make timely payments on your obligations from this point forward? Credit repair can completely transform your credit and even put you on the path to long term wealth. But to be a good candidate for credit repair you must be able to keep up with your existing commitments. There is no point in making the effort if you are still slipping backward each month. If you can commit to timely payments from this point forward you are a candidate for genuine credit repair success!</p>
<p><strong>Understanding the Nature of Credit</p>
<p></strong></p>
<p>Credit repair success can be measured by the changes in your credit scores. Cleaning up all of the erroneous reporting issues from your credit report is essential, but in the final analysis it is your credit scores that will tell the tale. Credit scores are the result of everything on your report. As important as eliminating negative items may be, the presence of positive credit is even more important. In short, good credit scores require the presence of open and properly managed accounts. Managing your accounts for credit repair success is easy if you know how.</p>
<p><strong>Your Accounts and Credit Score Optimization</strong></p>
<p>As odd as it seems, you may make all of your payments right on time, for years on end, and still have awful credit scores. The good news is that a bit of knowledge can turn things around on a dime and lift your scores dramatically. There are two parts to this credit repair secret; type of credit, and account balances. When it comes to your credit scores not all credit is created equal. It is simple; mainstream credit cards, such as MasterCard, Visa, American Express, and Discover are good. Store cards and consumer credit, such as furniture store loans, are bad. If you have store cards or consumer debt you should work on paying it off. Now, let’s chat about managing those good mainstream credit cards for credit repair success.</p>
<p><strong>Revolving Account Management</strong></p>
<p>If you don’t have any good open credit cards, open them now. If you can’t get approved for unsecured credit, just get a couple of secured cards. They are easy to get and you won’t be denied. Once you have your credit cards you are in a position to really get your credit scores moving in the right direction. All you need to do is get the balances under twenty percent of the cards capacity. If you have a five hundred dollar card get the balance under one hundred dollars and watch your scores take off. Conversely, you need to know that a balance near the card’s limit can knock as much as one hundred and fifty points off your score. If you have high balances, don’t worry. As soon as you pay the balances down your scores will pop right back up (just allow time for the creditor to report the new balance to the credit bureau).</p>
<p><strong>Whipping Your Credit Report into Shape</p>
<p></strong></p>
<p>Credit repair rule number one: Give yourself the benefit of the doubt! Don’t believe everything on your credit report just because it is in writing. If there is any chance a derogatory item is erroneous, dispute it! For goodness sake, it’s your credit and it’s important, so get pro-active, or hire a professional credit repair service to manage the process for you. There is plenty of evidence to support an aggressive approach to credit repair. Over seventy five percent of all credit reports contain errors. The majority of these errors cause consumers to pay premium interest rates on the money they borrow. Don’t be victimized.</p>
<p><strong>Two Handy Credit Repair Tips</strong></p>
<p>Once you get into the task of cleaning up your credit report here are two handy credit repair pointers that can help you out. First, legally, collectors are supposed to withdraw their reporting of an account as soon as they sell the account or return it to the original creditor, but they rarely do. Challenge all questionable collections. And, second, credit card issuers have been known to underreport credit card limits. This underreporting has the same impact on your scores as if you had run up your balance. Proofread your reports carefully for accurate credit limits.</p>
<p><strong>Don’t be Afraid to Ask for Credit Repair Help</p>
<p></strong></p>
<p>Reach out! If you don’t have the time to manage the job of credit repair on your own call a pro. A credit repair professional will review every single detail on your report. They will be able to identify your credit score optimization options, find deficiencies in your credit, and dispute all of the questionable derogatory issues in an experienced and efficient manner. Good luck with your credit repair project!</p>

<p>These days, modern sofa beds cover a huge chunk of the modern sofas&#8217; market. An ordinary sofa bed can no longer satisfy the requirements of a modern urban middle-income customer since it does not have the biggest advantage of a Modern Sofa Bed, completely said by its name and so useful in the small to medium size apartments or condos: it could be turned into a bed in seconds thanks to the famous European click-clack mechanism. The old-fashioned squeaky, complicated opening device is now history.</p>
<p>There is one slight downside of this new innovation &#8211; you can&#8217;t position your sofa directly next to the wall because it needs some extra space in the back when it opens so it won&#8217;t touch and damage your wall paint or wallpaper. But really, you can take this sacrifice, when you remember that you no longer need to carry a folding bed in you closet for your mother-in-law, who arrives every now and then do her shopping in her favorite mall, which is most unfortunately happen to be within close proximity to your place.</p>
<p>Some convertible beds or sofa beds have the adjustable back option (try Wieder or Aminach sofa beds, a lot of their models have this benefit). It comes really handy when you want to half sit half lay down to watch TV but do not want your body crumpled as when you use a regular armchair).</p>
<p>Another advantage of a sofa bed is its storage opportunity. Nearly all of the modern sofa beds have a storage space in them, usually big enough to fit complete bedding set for two people. This comes really handy if your living room does not have enough closet space. And don&#8217;t be bound by the word &#8220;sofa&#8221;. Nowadays, there is a convertible armchair, convertible loveseat, even convertible chaise lounge. Usually, an armchair could be transformed into a sleep place for one person, loveseat opens as a bed for one to two, and a convertible sofa usually hosts two people when turned into a bed. Modern furniture manufactures usually try to give both options to their customers for almost every model of the modern living room furniture set. A European furniture manufacturer called Istikbal carries a full line of such furniture, including sectional convertibles described below. Sofa beds come from the same furniture family that features futons but sofa beds certainly have what traditional futons don&#8217;t: the combination of comfort and style (a traditional futon might be great for your mobile getaway home, but won&#8217;t exactly look good in your modern living room).</p>
<p>Modern bed evolution gave sofa beds the style you were looking for and, at the same time, all advantages of your regular mattress including but not limited to its firmness and comfort. Now you can put the sofa bed in your child&#8217;s room making it a really great alternative to a regular bed and not having to worry about your child developing back problems because of the bad mattress. It is a great choice for a teenager, since it gives him or her more space to hang out with friends when they come over. There is another modern living room furniture term, which is really good to know: convertible sectionals. Practically every piece of modern living room furniture can now be a part of a convertible sectional assembly. You can find a loveseat, ottoman or even chaise lounge performing as one convertible sectional ensemble, being able to be detached and positioned separately across your Modern Living Room at your will. Also, convertible sectionals really allow you to play with dimensions. Modern convertible sectionals are extremely popular these days.</p>
<p>Modern convertible sofas, modern loveseat beds, modern armchair beds &#8211; almost every model on the market is now available in both leather and fabric. Fabric gives you more choices in color and texture, it is always easier in care, especially, when you choose a removable cover (and I heard you can now order another set of covers in a different color/texture, which can give your furniture a second life, let&#8217;s say if you renovated your living room or just can&#8217;t stand this color anymore, or you two-year old son decided to add some of his own design to it by applying your pen all over the place). Leather can&#8217;t do it all, but leather gives you far more luxurious look, even if you are into a moderate priced sofa bed. So it all depends on what you&#8217;re looking for.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>By: <b>Prahlad Parmar</b></em><br />Mechanical 3D models using CAD tools brings life and transparency into the design goals with respect to clash detection, clearance, aesthetics, tolerance aspects and helps communicate design ideas more effectively.</p>
<p>Mechanical 3D modeling is an art of crafting a methodical wire-frame demonstration of any 3D (three-dimensional) object. With CAD tools, 3D models could be displayed as an image in print using computer simulation. CAD Modeling is usually the first step in a rapid prototyping (RP) system. The conventional approach to CAD modeling is through engineering drawings. A designer inputs dimensions and interconnects lines (along with other basic shapes) using CAD software like AutoCAD, Pro-E, 3D-max.etc to create a virtual 3D model.</p>
<p>Benefits of using Mechanical 3D Modelling in product design are:</p>
<p>-&gt; Speedy validation/verification of designs against specifications &amp; design rules</p>
<p>-&gt; Effective 3D visualization for full fledged manufacturing drawings</p>
<p>-&gt; Accurate wire-frame geometry creation</p>
<p>-&gt; Bi-directional parametric association (alteration of any feature is reflected in all information relying on that feature; mass properties, drawings, assemblies, etc.)</p>
<p>-&gt; Simplified design of assemblies, which are set of parts and/or other assemblies</p>
<p>-&gt; Hassle-free checking of kinematics, interference and clearance in assemblies</p>
<p>-&gt; It allows for 3D sectional views</p>
<p>With field modifications, inadequate support from the original CAD models poses a problem. The technical person on the field may have found a better way to mount the part by amending the original design, or damage to the part may demand modification to rectify the issue. This modification may not be documented in the CAD archives but can be accomplished with 3D parametric models of the mechanical design.</p>
<p>Also, a design engineer may want to introduce a value-added design to an existing part, but the first manufacturer of the part may not be willing to release their internal CAD files for proprietary reasons. The process of 3D modeling overcomes these problems by allowing the creation of a CAD model by scanning the existing object.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>By: <b>Torrie Cantor</b></em><br />When buying electric scooter parts, make sure they&#8217;re compatible with your scooter. Many customers make a mistake of buying the wrong parts for their scooters.</p>
<p>Popular electric scooter parts are:</p>
<p>- Accessories &#8211; Batteries &#8211; Chains &#8211; Chargers &#8211; Controllers &#8211; Throttles</p>
<p>Accessories</p>
<p>There are different kinds of accessories available. A popular choice for a scooter&#8217;s bag is a large multi-compartment bag than can be placed onto the rear cargo rack. A good bag would be made of a cloth that is high resistant to abrasions, tears and scuffs. Twin Velcro straps should hold the bag securely onto the seat rail or post.</p>
<p>You can also choose a basket to be placed in front. Good baskets would be those that fold out of the way when they&#8217;re no longer in use. Steel construction is the best with thick enamel finish.</p>
<p>You should have a safety warning bell for your scooter. Some bells are made with compasses too. These bells fit all electric scooter and bicycle handlebars. Bells that have a pleasant sound and are audible are advisable.</p>
<p>A bike motor kit includes self-contained removable power unit, a mounting rack and mounting hardware. You can also buy this kit in local motorcycle stores.</p>
<p>A good headlight would have side light markers that provide additional illumination in the right and left side of the scooter. This is for visibility during nighttime.</p>
<p>Your helmet should cover the back of your head to protect it from backward falls. It should have an air-gulping front, top and back holes. There should be a thick shock absorbent lining inside the helmet that can be easily removed and replaced for cleaning purposes. Most importantly, helmets should be certified by the ASTM F1447 helmet standards or any country&#8217;s helmet standards.</p>
<p>Even though some states don&#8217;t require scooter drivers to wear helmets, it is still recommended to wear a helmet no matter how short the distance is.</p>
<p>Additional mirrors are also available as extra electric scooter parts. You can choose a round shaped mirror that is made of chrome plated steel, glass and rubber construction. There should be a safety reflector at the back of the mirror.</p>
<p>Batteries</p>
<p>There is a different range of batteries available for electric scooters. If you know the voltage, dimensions or amp hours, you will be able to choose what battery should you require.</p>
<p>Chains</p>
<p>The #25 chain is the most commonly used for electric scooters. This chain has a &#8221; spacing between each chain link and is &#8221; wide.</p>
<p>Chain Breakers</p>
<p>Chain breakers don&#8217;t break the chain despite what they&#8217;re called. Their function is to remove the pins that hold the chain links together. Master links are used to connect chains together in a continuous solid loop.</p>
<p>Chargers</p>
<p>Intellect Charger &#8211; An &#8220;Intellect Charger&#8221; works with electric scooters and bikes that have a 12 Volt battery or two 6 Volt batteries.</p>
<p>Controllers</p>
<p>There are speed controllers for Chinese-made electric scooters. This part helps control the speed of your scooter from full stop to full forward.</p>
<p>Throttles</p>
<p>The Hall Effect Throttle is the most common type that is used on electric scooters. They work on Chinese-made electric scooters and are sometimes called accelerators, twist bar, speed bar, turn throttle, speed control or derailleur.</p>
<p>Another type of throttle is the on / off throttle. This is used for medium size electric scooters.</p>
<p>5k Ohm Throttles are for high-end and older model electric scooters.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>By: <b>Nicholas Tan</b></em><br />What are bullion coins? These coins may have high values because they are not only limited; but also they may have been found in shipwrecks, or they may come from the ancient times. Bullion coins are the type of collector’s items that many people look for.</p>
<p>The silver bullion could be the most well known type of bullion that is selling very well in the internet aside from those that are to be considered to be most expensive and valuable items in the world.</p>
<p>Some high priced coins that are displayed on the internet include the silver ingot. The silver ingot was said to have been found in the Spanish ship Atocha that sank in the ocean. This ship was found to contain treasures and artifacts including silver ingots. Others claim that the silver ingots were recovered from an old Colorado Mining area. Coins were found everywhere and were said to have been hidden by the miners.</p>
<p>The silver Maple Leaf Coins, which are officially sealed, are also popular among collectors. These coins came from the Royal Canadian Mint and include the Walking Liberty half-dollars and the dealer roll first-strike 1994 U.S. Eagles. These items were a collection of the Franklin Mint which had more than 100 masterpieces in his memorabilia.</p>
<p>Most bullion collectors prefer the gold billion. Some famous bullion gold coins include the gold Krugerrands, which are from South Africa. The European Gold Crowns were released from the late 1800s to the early 1900s. Other items include the Canadian Maple Leaf Coins and the United States American Eagle Coins. British Sovereigns are also seen on the internet as are the Swiss Helveteas and the French Roosters.</p>
<p>The awesome 10-ounce Swiss gold bar, China gold panda set, and the American eagle proof set coins can also be found and are considered to be the most seen coins on the internet. There are gold bullions found in the American Eagle set, Mixed Lots, Rounds, Bars, and any other similar categories that are found on some sites n the internet.</p>
<p>A type of bullion that is not well known is the Platinum bullion. It is less researched on the internet because the demand for it is not as great as the silver and gold bullions. Platinum bullions can be purchased anywhere: some of them are the French Statue of Liberty coins, Eagle sets, and the Koala Proofs. The World Trade Center has also offered some Platinum bullions like the Englehard platinum bar, crucible dish made of platinum bullion, and the Johnson Matthew Year of the Dragon coins which were recovered from the safety vaults of the building when it collapsed.</p>
<p>These coins can be considered as thoughtful gifts aside from their being valuable since they can be kept as a souvenir from the person who gave it. A bullion bar that features a happy birthday greeting can be a thoughtful gift for a friend’s birthday especially if the bar has the date of the birthday on it. Some people also use them for their anniversaries as their gifts to one another &#8211; they search for those bullions that have the date of their engagement or the wedding year. Some brides also ask their groom to find her 24-karat gold flakes or silver flakes as her chosen token for their wedding.</p>
<p>Coin collecting of this type can be very expensive, especially when buying bullions, but here are some tips that can guide a person in his search for affordable bullions.</p>
<p>1.	A person must be sure of the type of bullion he would like to purchase before ordering or buying.</p>
<p>2.	He must ask himself, or the person he is buying the bullion for, what bullion he/she prefers and ask if they would like to come with him when purchasing the bullion.</p>
<p>3.	A person must figure the delivery costs and add them to the agreed price.</p>
<p>4.	A person should be sure that the seller would contact give him a delivery for the item if they have ordered it on the internet.</p>
<p>5.	He should never make the payments using instant money transfer firms.</p>
<p>6.	It is important to know the seller’s background and reputation in the business.</p>
<p>A person can purchase any bullion that he prefers. The idea of giving bullions to a special loved one or friend can be very thoughtful and it will serve as memorabilia that will be kept throughout the years.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>By: <b>James Copper</b></em><br />There are many times in life where situations may occur that put a stress on your financial situation. Losing a job, medical emergencies, or family situations may cause you to fall behind on your bills. However, losing your job does not have to mean that you also lose your home. If you have accumulated some mortgage arrears on you home after you lost you job, do not lose heart. There are still some ways that you could save your home from foreclose. Being in contact with your bank and working with them to help you out, is the best thing to start with. To help you stave off foreclosure on your home, here are some ways to handle your mortgage arrears.</p>
<p>Contact Your Bank</p>
<p>There are hundreds of people all over the country that have missed a couple of payment on their home so you are not alone in this predicament. If you think that you will be unable to pay your amortization for a couple of months while you are still trying to find work, it is best to call your bank and tell the loans officers about you change of circumstances. You bank has probably handled this situation before and they know how this go. Banks are not in the business of reposing and foreclosing properties so they will not really jump at the chance of divesting you of your home. Besides, if the bank forecloses your home, it will now have to face the challenge of disposing the property in order to free their capital. Since foreclosing your property will entail more work on he part of the bank than just merely giving you a couple of months grace period, the bank will most likely give you the grace period to pay for your amortization.</p>
<p>When negotiating with the bank for grace period, make sure that you express your strong intention to pay your debts. You should also outline your plan on how you will go about paying your debts and how much time it will take you to do this. If the bank officer will see your strong interest to pay your debts and keep your home, he or she will be more open to the possibility of giving you the extra time that you need.</p>
<p>Leasing Your House</p>
<p>If you cannot pay for the amortization of your home and you have exhausted your grace period, you might want to lease your home for a while. You can use the money that you get from the lease to pay for the amortization. If you have no other place to go, you can just rent a portion of the house. You can move to the basement of the house for a new months and lease the upstairs rooms. Note that if you really want to keep your home, moving to the basement for a few months or so is a small sacrifice that you have to do. Besides, living in the basement of your home is not really that bad. Once you get a nice job, you can always move back to the upstairs room.</p>

<div style="float:left;padding: 12px"><a href="/wp-content/uploads/cc/Autograph12.jpg"><img src="/wp-content/uploads/cc/Autograph12.jpg" alt='Autograph' /></a></div>
<p>Manhattan, New York – January 24, 2008 &#8211; New York auction house RM Smythe &amp; Co, Inc held one of the most successful autograph auctions in its 125-year history on Thursday, January 17, 2008. The sale, featuring the collection of Steven Lee Carson, saw an unprecedented 77 percent of offered lots sell. Although the auction suffered a few delays due to technical problems with E-bay Live Auctions, in the end bidders on the floor, on the phone, and at their computers were able to take home a remarkable variety of historical autographs and Americana.</p>
<p>Not surprisingly, the highest hammer price was won by a letter written by President Abraham Lincoln, asking Secretary of War Edwin Stanton to approve the resignation of a cavalry captain at the request of the officer’s wife. Lincoln, typically a “soft touch” in such cases, makes the argument that “we are rapidly getting an over-proportion of officers.” The letter sold for $14,500, not counting a buyer’s premium. The Great Emancipator wasn’t the only family member bringing high prices. A pair of 1869 letters (one incomplete) from his widow, in which she refers to him as having been “from my eighteenth year – Always – lover – husband – father and all, all to me – truly my all,” brought nearly as much, $13,000.</p>
<p>One of the most exciting possibilities at any auction is watching a lot begin at a modest opening price only to rise and rise. That is just what happened with an extremely rare autograph note signed by beloved artist Norman Rockwell that had on it an original concept sketch for one of his covers for the Saturday Evening Post. A typical autograph note by the author might bring about $200-300, and the lot had been given a modest estimate of $650. Due to mail bids received before the auction, the lot opened at $2000; furious bidding drove it to a final price of $5500. Another high climber was a fascinating typewritten letter signed by Theodore Roosevelt as president during his negotiation of the treaty ending the Russo-Japanese War, complaining about the stubbornness of both sides. Estimated at $2500, it sold for $8500. Also shooting well beyond its estimate was a signed copy of Woodrow Wilson’s book Why We Are at War, which was estimated at $700 and sold for $3000, a record price. According to American Book Prices Current, it was the first copy to sell at auction in thirty years.</p>
<p>When asked why these lots were estimated so low, Smythe’s Bob Litzenberger explained that in some cases, there were no recent sales results to use as a reliable guide. He added that there are strategic advantages to setting conservative estimates, too. “High estimates, even if you’re confident a lot can reach them, discourage bidding. When an item opens low, more bidders get involved, and even if it goes so high that only those with deep pockets can stay in the game, it makes the auction more fun for everyone. If you know you can get in on the action, you’re going to come back, and you’re going to also bid on other items and win them. Consignors, too, are much happier when something sells much higher than its estimate than they are when it sells for even a little less. They also know we aren’t going to give them false expectations just to get hold of their material.”</p>
<p>As usual, early presidents and first ladies were a hot item, with a very unusual letter by Abigail Adams in which she commiserates with a friend whose son died in battle bringing $7000. A great document signed by her husband, authorizing a letter of marque for the Quasi-War with France, sold for $6000. An autograph letter of recommendation signed by the ever-popular Thomas Jefferson while vice president brought $10,000.</p>
<p>Highlights from other collecting areas included an outstanding content typed letter signed by novelist Henry James in 1914, with his views on wartime topics ($850 &#8211; a record for him in that format); a delightful original drawing of the Grinch signed by animator Chuck Jones, who directed the television version of Dr. Seuss’s book ($700); an autograph letter signed by beloved “Peter Rabbit” author Beatrix Potter ($850); and a scarce program for a 1942 German marksmanship competition signed by notorious dictator Adolf Hitler ($2050).</p>
<p>Along with great autographs, Smythe offered collectible Americana, books, prints, and photographs in a mail bid and online sale following the public auction. Here, too, there were valuable rarities. A most unusual hand-drawn map of the area around Vicksburg, MS, used by soldiers under Gen. W.T. Sherman during the Union siege of that city, sold for $2100. A large tapestry celebrating the Declaration of Independence went for $1900. A letter from a girl who had witnessed the horror of the Great Chicago Fire reached $600, while a wonderful diary along with a few letters of a Civil War soldier, telling of his participation in the battles of Fredericksburg, Chancellorsville, and Gettysburg, went all the way to $3250.</p>
<p>This is just a fraction of the sale’s results. Prices realized for the entire sale can be found at the firm’s web site, www.smytheonline.com.</p>
<p>Smythe is already accepting consignments for its next auction of autographs and Americana, scheduled for spring 2008. Interested parties can contact the company at 1-800-622-1880 for more details.</p>
<p>Accredited media interested in scheduling an interview to discuss this release or past or upcoming auctions are encouraged to contact Mary Herzog at 212-943-1880</p>
<p>About R. M. Smythe &amp; Co.</p>

Smythe and Co., established in 1880, buys, sells, and auctions coins, paper money, stocks and bonds and autographs at their corporate headquarters at 2 Rector Street in the heart of the Financial District in New York City.
