WoW !!
Congrats Alex
You have upped the anté with that pair ! going to be tough to beat that... and here I thought was doing well with my 75b for €3.50
I take it there was no attempted to talk them down on the price and that you got out of there as quickly as possible, after the purchase.

Alex if I recall correctly you acquired one of those GG group 6's on a previous occasion, did you not?

Very nice Alex!
You certainly seem to have the majic touch. Did you enter Falkirk on an early admission (or perhaps with a vendor) or did you come in with the rest of us hoi palloi?
Enjoy!

There is no early bird entry at Falkirk and i was 30 mins late for the opening which makes it all the more incredible that these 2 beauties were not snapped up by another collector. I guess some people cant be bothered looking through the boxes under the tables, whereas it is usually the first place i look.
