Avoid the paypal thing. Sounds like a scam waiting to happen. Cash is king. Anyone not wanting cash should be suspect. That's just me.

From the RGP discussions I have seen IJ would be a poor choice. I have not played it but still it seems there is a lot of "hate" for this pin. Maybe I am mistaken. But I would visit RGP and do a search for IJ...maybe it's a different version I am referring to..but still worth the research.

Good luck on your first pin. Have you considered older pins like SS or EM style pins? Might save some $$ and ease yourself in to the hobby. Just an idea.

Sadly in pins, you kinda have to act fast. So, you really need to know your stuff so as not to get burned.

PS - I meant in my previous post, paypal is OK for a deposit but I still prefer cash on the top glass of the pin as you buy it. Yeah, mailing cash is silly. Do people do that? Scary. But buying in person (bring a friend so they have to use at least two bullets to shoot you) is best with cash, IMO.

Check, the sticky at the top of this forum that talks about some dude who does weird stuff when sent paypal money...
