And my money was on you!

Well, I s'pose that balanced out since all three were bought by aneoth. ^^

I've been trying to find this message all day.

£50 seems like all the money for GW G1/2/3.  But they have been a bit thin on the ground recently.  Maybe this will smoke out a few more.

Heh. The price "drop" on the "standard" Gs hasn't helped, perhaps?
And that the UK mods aren't listed separately on the main chart...
Would still make sense to do so, IMHO, but have been nudging on that, etc., for some time.

They're certainly scarce enough in very fine or better condition (with/without SW! )

aside: Out of interest, when's the last time you saw a decent set of UK Ds?

Oh; and congrats re. the ST1 sale/purchase, of course

Apart from the copies on my shelf...none for quite a while.

Maybe a testament to how many got played and read. Who on earth would have thought someone might want to collect them?!?

*nods*. Maybe us Brits used all those purchases a bit more, too, having had to fork out rather more $ for the purchases in the first place.

Hrmm... thx for the confirmation, John.
Yeah, should have one very fine set of UK Ds here ("somewhere", as ever!) and was making a point to pounce another decent set should they come by at a half-way sensible price.
Certainly can't remember that happening, last year or so; nor even that anyone (i.e. yourself) pointed out when I might've missed some.
Maybe I need to look harder...

Must check what I've got here. I never bought one at the time. I've got a feeling all my copies are 3rd printings.

1st & 3rd.  But no no 2nd.

*takes a look over your shoulder at the condition of the 1st print*

Anyway.  Changing the subject.  Only 5% of women (apparently) have their baby on the due date.  But knowing my luck, that will be Kathleen.

So, I better get myself to bed.  The baby is officially due tomorrow.

Checks the time.  Today in fact.

But not even a twinge yet.  So will probably be late (if it takes after me)

Oh, nice photos, John! Thank you for taking the time to do those.

Hmm... Have seen much, much worse than that (on 3rds). Looks not bad from the front, aside from (near to) the spine... No laminate, either?!

Beginning to think we need a different grading scale for those PBs...
(Heh; with a warning note or two; otherwise we're going to see "reconstructed" copies, sooner-or-later!).

Still think that's a pretty rare copy, though; but willing to be proven wrong.
(However, given recent questions along such lines, two copies owned by Acaeum members almost makes it "common" for some of the early UK products/prints! Poll time, perhaps?? *g*).

@ rest of list: just marking time awaiting the "official results" of the ST1 jury! ^^
(or some such excuse...)

Congrats, David.  I was watching that one.  VERY nice MM, imo.  

Gotta get me one of those...
