Massive Collectors Toy Auction

Not really about our type of model boats although there are some waterline ship models but the catalogue is certainly worth a browse if only for nostalgic reasons. I don't think the guide prices mean much though.

I dare not look Colin. Too much on offer!, Ashley

Hi All,

This month's free book with the mag is terrific reference for the die cast ship collectors, from Traplet who must have printed an awful lot back in the day ??

Regards Ray

Which book is that Ray, I don't recall seeing anything.

Hi Colin,

Maybe this is only for people who buy the mag from WH Smiths ??

Your welcome to my copy, It's not really my thing, although I have a few

PM me your address.

Regards Ray

Yes, it didn't come with the subscription copy.

Thanks very much for the offer but if it is basically a rerun of Kevin's MMI articles then I have already seen most of them and he tended to emphasise the warships. If it is something more than that then I would be interested. and happily refund postage.

Incidentally, I have been helping Paul Freshney's family to sort out a disposal plan for his models and workshop contents. He liked to go on cruises and afterwards bought 1:1250 scale models of three of the Cunard fleet. His family had assumed that these were just mass produced souvenirs and were planning to give them to his grandson as toys. In fact they are from the Scherbak Collector series and cost around £200 each back in 2012 when he bought them and now retail for around $450US!

Cor. A bit expensive for just toys! This is why you need someone who knows about these things, before just giving stuff away.

Just this morning I may have given away £20,000,000 worth of Ming vases (masquerading as plant pots) to the recycling second hand stall.....
