more of his priceless treasures with the world... this

just wants to be sure that you too have the chance to experience all of the
things he knows and loves here "on line."

Display Errors Fixed
After noticing a cross-platform display anomaly, Webmaster Chris has made
several key adjustments to the Joe Franklin site. The average user shouldn't
see anything but a cleaner looking site.
Thanks!

A Virtual Archive?!
This one, I must say, is just incredibly cool. We have laid the ground work for
and will soon be tweaking details on what will certainly become one of the
internet's most amazing databases. What will ours contain? Nothing less than a
virtual tour of the Memorabilia Archives belonging to Mr. Joe Franklin himself!
That's right, in a few short weeks you'll be able to come back here and sort
through THOUSANDS of the items we'll have in the archives! I smile just thinking
about it!
Take a look at it now here.

Shopping Functions Added!
After much time and energy, we have added two very important areas to our site,
for you our visitors! In a few months time, we will be opening an online auction
and catalog. With them, you'll be able to get your hands on that memorabilia you've
been wanting even faster and safer than ever! Though both areas of the site are under
construction, you may check them out now!
Take a look at our Memorabilia page to pick between
which areas of the site you want to see!
