You need a good rack, a bench, and a 300-lb Olympic weight set. Now, what was your question?

Well, it's been a good week for old Iron! Now I have enough plates to cover my main lifts, and if things go right next week I may add either some more unbranded Ivanko or Canadian International plates for some flavor. So, what is the difference between York's with the '45', and the ones without? (older, more rare, less rare?)

Thanks! I feel pretty good about this trade, essentially I traded $250 worth of Urethane's for the York DD. They appear to be in good condition, its hard to tell whether its original casting issues or normal wear in some places. But I do not see any major cracks or issues that would prevent me from using them for bench/squats (and they will be used daily!). Although, I'll probably avoid using them for deadlifts until I reach 'AttyGuy' status with my collection. I don't think I will ever reach Dexter, Northern, or Dumb.Bell status. They seem to have the majority of the vintage York left in the United States. LOL

Hey, nice plates. They look good. What your thinking is issues is just typical Deep Dish casting. They are notoriously crappy in quality. Ive had 9 pairs and have seen lots of imperfections. Enjoy them.
There is so much York items to be found. Be patient, i just happen to be in the tip of the tristate rwgion ( Nj,NY,CT&PA). Its handy.▪██─────██▪ Ivanko Barbell Crew #3 ▪██─────██▪

You know, I'm probably thinking about your collection of unbranded plates.
So am I on the right track with what is considered VTG, HTF, RARE? I do not want to offend by what I post here
York DD's are considered 'vintage' (Skinny script as well), Jackson, Zuver, Berg, Roberts, Strongman, Dan Lurie, Marcy deep dish, Schisler, Eleiko (posted by the flipper), Hoffman?, first edition Ivanko grip (Atty brochure pg 114). Older, but not quite VTG, HTF, RARE: BFCO, Billard, International, Superior, unbranded Ivanko, Weider International, DP Industries, or anything that appears to be 'Made in China'?▪█─────█▪ Equipment Crew #58 ▪█─────█▪

Gorgeous. I have to swing by your place again soon to see all that iron beauty.

Anytime, Atty.
Doc and Dom, after some successes and failures, I think I have finally perfected a technique that works for me. Like many here, I use Sharpie oil based pens. For some reason, silver pens seem to work better than white pens. I place the plates on my desk so I am seated comfortably. I shine a lamp onto the plate so I can see the plate clearly. Playing on the computer is some sort of video to keep me entertained. I keep a bottle of nail polish remover and some Q tips and towels within reach for when I need them. What I have learned is when I have them I don't screw up. But when I don't, I screw up. Finally, and most importantly, I have a beverage to keep myself properly hydrated. For me, beers seem to work better than whiskies.

So much win in one picture.
Since we won't be doing any lettering work, I'll bring a single malt over.You need a good rack, a bench, and a 300-lb Olympic weight set. Now, what was your question?
