P.H.D. (piled higher & deeper)

[Pyrate Jim]

Yeah, I promised I'd do it. Don't expect it all at once.
Start with the initial face-off.

[Pyrate Jim]

The first shovel full.

[iamthelazerviking]

Would still love to come by and help sort sometime!

[Pyrate Jim]

Invite is open, I could use help. Just on a day the water pipes aren't frozen.

[Pyrate Jim]

Still more from the first box...



Yeah, the pink Phantom has eyes.

[$L!mBo]

gave my Green Eyes to COB

[redsquirrel]

Diggin those phantoms and the eyes are hilarious

[Pyrate Jim]

A few masks in the next box.







Lenses are JT. Seven Spectra & one Elite.

[Chuck E Ducky]

Those Pink Shields! ❤️

[Super Nova]

Right those things are hot

[Pyrate Jim]

Little things and DVDs.

Anyone recognize that pin? Rare as hens teeth today.






Might notice the Pump Pandemonium disc from 2004.

[Chuck E Ducky]

That pin from the Wolfs Den back in the day?

[Pyrate Jim]

Wolf's Lair, actually. Which was shut down as some "paramilitary" organization, later re-opened as EMR who ran MilSim scenario games.

[Pyrate Jim]

Something to keep in mind is that I'm posting these pics in the order I took them as I dug through the mess.
There's another hundred pics to go, and I'm not posting those calendar pics without permission.
While I know some are slathering over the marker pics, be patient. You won't be disappointed.

[Pyrate Jim]

So. Where was I?
More detritus retrieved from the bowels of paintball hoarding.






Maybe some literature?





And a bonus.

That Turret has never been used. The shoulder stock is still in the box with original paperwork.
I was told it originally belonged to Dan Colby, but cannot confirm that.

[Pyrate Jim]

Just something I'm proud of. The first Paintball Sports International magazine signed by Jerry Braun.



Pretty sure I have two of these.




Like I said, omitting the next thirteen images as unsuitable.

[nuclear zombie]

If any one is curious about the calendar bacci has a video on YouTube about it's creation. Actually an interesting part of paintball history: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XmL24mDUzc

[Super Nova]

That's an awesome piece of history lol

[Myrkul]

Maybe you could post them in the members only section?For posterity and such. I personally think it's very important that those pictures be preserved in a digital format.

[Pyrate Jim]

What's in the next box? It's labelled "everything to carry paint".

[Pyrate Jim]

More of that.

[Pyrate Jim]

Here's a couple oddballs.




The Viewloader Pro-Flex. Not JT.
A soft sided battery operated hopper designed to absorb hits. Unfortunately, an incoming paintball could force it's way in between the shell halves and a side hit could break the paintballs within.
Mine has a cover, which was not allowed in competition so they didn't last long in the market. Also needed a neck insert because the soft sides had trouble clamping to the elbow.




It's squishy.

[BrickHaus]

So many dream parts in the mix here! Thanks for sharing good sir!

[Pyrate Jim]

Less than half way, more to come.

[Pyrate Jim]

Some miscellaneous stuff.






This needs a clearer picture.

[Alexndl]

You are sitting on a gold mine of JT parts
That stock class mag too
Make sure you check the value of those if you decide to sell some of your collection
