I'm just gob-smacked at what you're offering for sale here in this thread. Hi, still an FF collector, but its an evolving situation as I intend to take a run at some OA up soon at auction, in which I'll probably get crushed like a bug, but on the off chance I win I am trying to avoid my usual after-the-auction panic selling and get ahead of it. For a collector this is what passes for "responsible forward planning" If I win it I'm not sure my wife will be as impressed, but we'll hope for the best...
