Hi all back at it been sorting under the stairs of the old chaps home honest bags and bags full of envelopes got a handful to go through found some more matchbox catalogs

Welcome back Steve. Some great paperwork and media you are now showing. Wish I had some spare income for those UK Matchbox newsletters, I have never had any of them so would be nice to buy a job lot.

Hi ye it's good to be searching again I had some good news well started of bad because the old chap and his sister wanted to pay me for his care I had my first tax bill Nooooo how do they sleep at night but anyway his sister didn't want me to be out of pocket so her and her brother got together and officially gave me his entire collection.
So I am on the hunt for anything that's related to die cast cars he also has old news letters and lists from model shops with a price list so please if anyone needs anything to add or complete a collection make me a offer I am running out of space
Thanks Steve

Just gone through a few more envelopes found some more larger size matchbox catalogs and a poster and a few small ones also

Found another few envelopes containing matchbox and Lledo and corgi stuff
Thanks Steve

Hi all not sure if anyone used a auction company called Warwick and Warwick to sell any items I have asked them to call and value the collection for sale.
They replied but I was not to sure on hem taking the entire collection to value it then put it to auction

I have never heard of them. If that is also true of other collectors, then I would suggest that they are unsuitable. You might well do better to pay a little more in commission and use one of the well-known auction houses simply because they have the reputation and so will be able to reach significantly more collectors, with their pre-auction publicity, thereby driving the hammer prices up.
