Will have to go and buy a lotto ticket tonight and add the de la Rey group to my letter to Santa.....

But...... (the biggest word in the English language)

I am in the same spot as Brian..... No more pennies......

Yes, been a little busy having a peep at it! De la Ray group is very pricey, will take the Lotto on my way home

Lots to choose from but will have to watch the pennies this time round, just spoiled myself with a QSA/1906 Pair and a few POW groups (a passion of mine)....will post the pair soon.

Brian

I hope that you find something really nice for your own collection Brian, the agony of choice, oh dear!
Kind regards Frank

Frank

To be honest, I do suspect this auction is a tad on the large side, it ends up great for the collectors but if one has placed their collection with CC in order to make a few rands, you are bound to loose! The same thing happened a few years back when a lot of Delville groups were assigned all at the same time, they went for a song! As for QSA's there is a nice selection.With the exchange rate as it is, yes, I have to agree with you 100% Frank a lot of these medals are going to go abroad.

Mike that outfit suits you

Brian

Hello Brian,
I am confident you will find something there, it is a very nice selection of QSA's and ABO's, you need to get together with Adrian and sort his trees out first!
Mike goes with the traditional coca cola look!

Frank,

I need a lot more than a saw. It will take a several men armed with chain saws at least a week to complete!!!

Imagine the noise

You know the SA Great War stuff has rocketed over the last few years, I very much like it!

I would really like those CP lots but with 6x 40m high Pine trees in the garden that need cutting and carting I will just have to give them a miss. However, I have my eye on two other more affordable lots which would fit in nicely with my WW1/WW2 collecting areas.

Reckon Mike has a big chain saw, moreover, I bet he knows plenty of loggers too, being in Canada!

Hi All,

Is that the 'Lumberjack' song I can hear in the distance?

Some very interesting material at City Coins. I was going to have a 'go' at a few pieces at DNW but may resist the temptation and save my efforts for City Coins. There are a few TG's & DMT's that I don't have.

Cheers,

Jim
