The Magic Age of Rumph Booklet

[rhinosgirl74]

Hello fellow Rumph lovers and collectors! Currently there is a "Magic Age of Rumph" Booklet for sale on Ebay. **Whoever wins this item, would you consider scanning and putting the pages on this website? The booklet as a whole is fascinating, but there is so much information in it that is invaluable to a rumph lover like myself (somehow I'm sure that I'm not the only one out there that would love to see what is in the pages of that booklet). Thank you!

ever think about bidding on this booklet like a real Rumph collector rhinosgirl74? Some pieces like this should only be fully viewed by owners.The picture of the cover is good enough to know what to look for.Youll appreciate it more after youd aquired it.It also helps on preventing idiots out there making forgeries and repros. Now quit your whining and try contacting some of the diehard collectors on here who searched far and wide to get their collections to where they are today, and see at what price theyre willing to part with it at. Good day.

Gee, face, that was an awfully aggressive comment to make. I don't believe that I'm whining at all. I was asking to see the whole booklet, from one collector to another. I don't have the money to spend hundreds of dollars on a Rumph collection. If you looked at this entire site, a lot of the "die hard" collectors you speak of didn't have a lot of money when they began collecting either...Mr. Rumph GAVE pieces to his friends and colleagues. I love all of the Rumph that I have collected and that I have seen. Why would I ask any of the collectors that I have met on this site part with an original? I thought that the whole point of this website was to turn people on to all of the wonderful things Jim Rumph made. Please become a member and read more about who Jim Rumph was and what he was about, before you make ugly and argumentative remarks. Good day to you.

Hello all! I haven't checked this site in a while and was surprised to see the discussion about the booklet. I don't have a problem sending some pictures to post for this site. But, ultimately I think it should be up to the Rumph webmaster to decide whether they should be posted. And YES, all items purchased off ebay and that I've found at antique shops are for my own collection. I have been purchasing Rumph because I got addicted after collecting the 3 Star Wars mugs. Now I keep checking ebay for more of Jim's stuff!
I only know of the two books that went on ebay. One for $100 and $50. I also have a book my girlfriend got me titled "Cops & Dopers". Very funny! He did the illustrations for it and is very cool. Maybe I'll throw some of those pics on this site as well.
Take care everyone and remember...don't be mean, because no matter where you go...there you are.

Thanks, gdogg! Did you know you were so popular? Hahaha...anyway...I appreciate your input, and I agree with you about letting the webmaster have the final "say". My husband and I are relatively new collectors (a beastly bookshelf came with his dowry when we married 2 years ago) and when we saw the book we were both have been trying to find it...we've been outbid at the final seconds on the ones that have been on ebay, but we're going to keep trying! If you do decide to put any pics on this website, or upload to your computer, PLEASE PRETTY PLEASE let me know...you can email me at [e-mail]. Thanks again!!
