Not sure that Gabby Logan is that much better. The same questions and platitudes over and over again (all right, that does come with the territory), and a smugness that does grate after a while. Michael Johnson and the other Yanks who sit on the sofa are very good sports for all the relentlessly twee Britcentric flag-waving spearheaded by Logan. Overall though I agree...the coverage is pretty good. It does help that Brits are doing well in the medals, of course. Yeah, Logan's not great either but overall it's been pretty impressive. Can you image what it would have been like on ITV? It would've been biased to the point of jingoism and dumbed down to X-Factor levels. Plus it would never have provided such complete access to all the events the way the Beeb has. And then of course there would've been the ads and corporate sponsorship infesting everything. That said, I thought ITV matched the Beeb at the Euros. Overall, Des Lynam was the BBC's best sports anchorman and had a quiet, understated authority that all the current Olympic presenters should attempt to emulate. Except Hazel Irvine (will someone get her off our screens immediately, dammit!).

Great run, with some OTT covers (especially number 6, which rarely turns up). Nice pickups.

Andy, I believe the road for you is clear. Can't deny I'm flattered.

Bravo Phil - all the best with your new venture. With Richard's experience and ability to succeed in retail and yours in marketing, you can aim high.

All the signs of a pre-tour meltdown....

Surprised that that item made it onto the Beeb's website as there are so many collectors out there doing the same thing...that guy must have friends in high places.

We're fans. Good to see that our keenness for the title is still strong. ....it's the kind of stuff you never get tired of. GOD BLESS... -jimbo(a friend of jesus) (thumbs u P.S. I really miss your website, Andy. I miss it too! Thanks gents. May reboot it at some point....

Colmore Comics is Mark Arrand - a longtime collector and friend of mine. He collects and has dealt in mainly high grade Silver, specializing in pedigrees. His site is currently on hiatus for the time being.

You've been picking up some excellent books lately...

That book has been red hot. Check out the 5.5 that sold for almost $1300. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Venus-18-CGC-5-5-WHITE-Classic-Everett-Atlas-Pre-Code-Horror-Golden-Age-Comic-/350583039445?pt=US_Comic_Books&hash=item51a060a5d5 I can remember an 8.0 of that book being sold in the marketplace only a couple of years ago for below $1K.....
