Name the armor family, not the feeling
Something iconic is not a brief we can match against the Iron Man armor archive. Mark III plate studies, no convention stamps, budget under a stated band, viewing in June is. The second email gets a date on the calendar. The first gets a request for the second.
Artists’ names help when you have them. Film-era nicknames help when you do not. What helps least is a list of every helmet you have ever liked. We will still read it. We will then ask you to strike three. Package inquiries cover one armor family and up to three technical variants. That cap is how matching notes stay honest.
If you already own token-linked certificates for certain editions, list the certificate numbers and whether you still hold the paper. A certificate without the sheet is a different object from a sheet without a certificate. We will not silently treat them as the same line item in a package.
Collectors based outside Thailand should say so in the first paragraph. A Bangkok sitting has a different calendar from a remote photo-log review. Remote review is only offered when our log already covers the variant. We will not photograph an entire cabinet to satisfy curiosity.
Budget bands can be awkward to write. Write them anyway. An inquiry fee does not reserve a lot. If your band cannot meet the lots we would actually put on the table, we decline early. That is kinder than a viewing that becomes a lecture on prices.
