Tamiya Perfect Album

Recommended Posts

I know there is quite a few of us out there with one of these books. But has anyone else got what looks like a Japanese signature on the inside back cover?

What ever it is, it has been done with a small paint brush

Any ideas, as I have seen 3 of these books and this one is the only one with it in?

Nah, mine does'nt have it. good book though!!

The fine paint brush was probably just that. They use them to do calligraphy type writting. Like the old English quill pen.

Maybe it's a signature of Mr.Tamiya and would make the book worth approx. $2,000,000,000 on e-bay, but only just before christmas when prices are high!!...

Got it from Tamiyaking off e bay about six months ago for $30. I thought that all the books came like this, but it wasn't til I saw another that I relized they didn't.

Anyone out there read Japanese??

Japanese people often write their signature in English, but sometimes in japanese.

I worked for a long time with Japanese people and when they sign a credit card reciept in Japanese it sometimes causes problems when they are outside Japan.

Spice, I hope you are not joking[:I]

If your not then "pick me up off the floor!"

This is a Quote I got back from the seller.

quote:I have no freakin idea what that text is!!!! I also noticed it on the 48

books I got in from Tamiya last year.

It's hand written, hence it might be a reference to the person who packed

the book.
