there was a thread on KLOV not too long ago regarding the reproduction of that thing. i signed up for it, but it never came through. here is a thread with a link to a better picture and the original dimensions, i'll try to dig that other thread up as well!

UPDATE:

here is one with a couple more pictures and here is another one which also talks about a topper for toobin. looks like atariscott has the original films (which films doesn't he have? ;)), but this thing never came through. :(

I guess you mean the company that i use, its not my company  ;)

according to theyre site, they state that "as long as it fits under the printer, they can get a print on it  :D

so i think that cardboard is not a problem. the costs on the other hand... i have no clue.
i can ask for a price if you are interested.
But dont you have a printer close to your place Ully ?

We can gouge interest in this ofcourse, i mean , they have a "fixed start fee" so that can be devided by the people who want to participate.
or i can check the "other" printer that i have used before, and see if they do cardboard too..
(they tend to be a little cheaper, but i cannot tell the quality, from "my printer" i know they have the priority on quality.

also i need to know the thickness of the cardboard ofcourse, or how many "grams" it needs.

the guy's in the us are saying this:

The extra 4 inches folds under and has adhesive on it to stick to the top of the game. It is made of some sort of heavy stock paper or a thin cardboard.


anyway, the selected area in the earlier post is the "bottom" so thats the fold line

the 2 black squares represent the 2 strips of double sided scotchtape (i just putted a square around it that was in the picure):



maybe to get it more sturdy, i could include something like this :

I wonder if the post will still accept a 1927 stamp though ;)

I still got a small stamp collection on the attic of my parents. Time to sell it ;)

i was collecting stamps as well when i was a boy (which boy didn't?) and since those albums were only lying around, i put all the german stamps on envelopes, even the ones which weren't supposed to be "good" anymore - never had a single problem with it!
