how much you would pay for yonexs first north american catalog if it has any collectors value at all?
if one read carefully, i think kelvin is referring to yonex's first catalog. Let me remind you that No.1 Spiderman. batman, superman, are worth $$,$$$.00 dollars.
I suppose Cooler is referring to kelvin as kelvin would have spoken to him abt it! if not i dont find any correlation! Cooler i think u are getting confused! Man take a break and chill out with a Beer!
yah, a while back he did ask me about the year of vintage of an older yonex racket. I told him he had to look in older catalogs to know that. So i toke a guess that was him. I checked on ebay and that old battledore paddles were sold to my surprise.
yes, a very noble venture. This way, the american would come to appreciate badminton and how they rule badminton in the 50 and 60's
the problem is badminton players are so geographically diverse, it will be better to have a online museum... on that subject, Bbn gave me a lot of old badminton printed materials from the 70-80s. i should get my act together and post them up on BC.... bad kwun, bad.
but the average american need to be shown how dominated they were in this sport at one time but they let it slip away to foreign hands like TV, VCR, automobiles, Vincent Van Gogh paintings, video games, and other good things in life. Talking about good things in life, how many sport event(s) do one see rich and powerful figures like Kings, princes & sultan go and watch and even some play?
I know that the sultan of brunei has his own private badminton court where practically everything is made out of gold. I think he really likes badminton!!
As to sultan of Brunei, My friend is there in Brunei right now Investigating Fraud committed by his brother or whatever! he had presumely seen the coiurt and played there also! It is a Arthur Andersen Project and it is DDR! I guess i have done a lot of DDr's too but nothing as close and as prestigious as this! There is a Lot of gold generally on The surrounding of a Teh badminton court! That is all he coudl say! he was not able to explain it as he could not find words for it! he said it looked like a Mini Taj mahal!
