    This is rare enough for � ebay � No? :D

    None of you fine folk have these? This is real deal Membership card, not some creation generated from a website.



    I came across this amonst my piles of pulp, Corvette pulp, and realized I have an obsessive compulsive disorder to collect pulp. I still enjoy collecting Green frogskins, but Corvette pulp is a close second.

    By my estimate, I have way too much Corvette stuff. Cars, parts and paper goods. I have 28 book shelves that are 99.9% Corvette paper exclusively. No Sears, Gardening, Cooking books or invoices or any business records or Franklin Mint Corvette models, etc. Just Corvette pulp.

    Each shelf is 27 inches wide and contains 15,000 pulp pages. So between part manuals, shop manuals, Corvette magazines, Corvette articles torn from the generic rags, sales brochures, dealer books, finger tip facts, assembly manuals, owners manuals, C/News 1-up, technical service bulletins, Restorer 1-up , VV-1 up etc, I figure I have over 420,000 pages of pulp and no duplicates. I assure you I read 95% of this and have forgotten only 99% and lost track of the other 1%. That is what three decades in this fine group does to ones obsessive compulsive disorders.

            Thar's gold in them there Restorers!...in more ways than one. I'm going to keep the Restorers, but don't keep the Drivelines...it'll only depress you to see the prices for parts you could've bought, and didn't, and can't buy anymore for any price.

                These were filled in on REAL typewriters. Seem to recall that upon membership renewal, they offered to mail you this card and/or a couple of NCRS window sticker decals. Note the orignal patina and slight variation in the keystrokes



                We really should have 3 divisions in NCRS; 1) cars, 2) pulp, and 3)parts. We'd haul the stuff to each meet, spread it out and get judged. Would have to eliminate Joe L. from the parts competition, so it'd be fair for all others.

                  I have to show this to my wife. She thinks I am the only one. I have Hemmings complete from 1980 up, years of old Vet VEWS, & all the NCRS magazines since I joined. It make one sick to look at car prices back in the early 80'S

                        Is this what yer talking about?



                        This brings up a sore subject. After June 30 when my 30th anniverday arrives, am I gonna get a pin or plaque or some other award for this achievement? I'm trying to plan ahead.
