Great set up. It's odd to see a collection start like this. Usually collectors start with the cheaper and not so special stuff before moving on to those ones.

Very nice and I especially like the ROMO ram. I have the 8-inch version.

Re: A few of my favourite things
lol...My exact words to Joe on many occasions. I certainly started with the "budget friendly" pieces myself. I wouldn't want to steer any new collector from a start that way, but certainly not go as nuts as I did on them. You end up with a hundred "not so special" pieces that you don't know what to do with. It was very wise of Joe to dive right in the deep end. "Quality over Quantity" fits nicely.JimBrown257 wrote: ↑Sat Nov 02, 2019 2:09 am Great set up. It's odd to see a collection start like this.

I started out with the china stuff but sold or gave most of them away. Some of the stuff coming out of china isn't cheap anymore and the quality has stepped up alot.

Nice. I found an 11” B Svoboda last night. Nice colored black and old yellowed colors.Lucentcrow wrote: ↑Sat Nov 02, 2019 9:05 am Couple more pics 552564B2-8EC3-4BE8-9067-F0831FBA9846.jpeg
Last night I also scored a very rare 12cm flat guard wasp. it was super expensive but well worth it.

Ha ha thanks mate that’s all very comforting all you folk saying I started well, what’s the old saying buy the best you can afford and you can’t go wrong.
And thanks to you Jeremy and others I’m very thankful

That’s great can’t wait to see the photos mate, I dream of a flatguard but fear I’ll be dreaming a while longer.
