  6. They're catching up faster than you think. Currently about 80. Kew is 110+ depending on condition. I have the 92, as for the kew, when I find one I shall have it. Screw paying that much for cuni.

    I agree with @Paddy ebay is it's own worst enemy with free listings, allowing any nobody to over-grade everything without financial impact. Joining that set is self destruction for any credible dealer or collector.
  14. I have a 760D and a bunch of lenses, but after seeing what the new mobile phones can achieve, I'm starting to reconsider my direction regarding photographic equipment.
  15. you people either have too much garden or too much time or both. My garden looks like it did before the fair weather. Even the locals won't go near it.

    Brexit 50p design

    Brexit 50p design

    @Paddy Indeed. I also ordered an annual set from the RM - it has the Team GB 50p but they've canned the games now, so that will be a non-event for this year too

    Daily Challenges

    You are in a room that has three switches and a closed door. The switches control three light bulbs on the other side of the door. Once you open the door, you may never touch the switches again. How can you definitively tell which switch is connected to each of the light bulbs?

    It's the grading AND the pricing which caught my eye, with that structure I'm a multi-billionaire
