I did my best to address the questions, and also asked a few.
I have revised some of the wording in my last post where I refer to the second tan model.
I'm not sure how to respond to the rest of the latest comments.

Magnification shows that the paint wear on the raised lettering is from wear, not thin paint, which is further supported by wear to other areas of the black baseplate, includi...

I have learned much from the knowledgeable and experienced collectors here. The VBD is a valuable source of information for Matchbox---certainly one of the best I have found. Sharing insight about the process for authenticating a 'rare', 'uncommon' or high-value Matchbox model would be a productive ...

forgive if it is under my nose, but please help this novice navigate there.

I posted some replies on the 'hall of shame' thread, but without using Numi's link, I don't even know how to get to the HOS thread.

I don't like setting prices for models, and with the auction format,...

Hi Jason is there any chance of posting a list or photos & prices. People in the UK can always pay be paypal & we all know you are a trusted seller Pete sure, I'll post a list with a photo of each. I have always preferred the auction style to posting a price. Either way, most of the proceed...
