I went to Windsor today (last-minute decision to go), although I didn't know you would be selling there Ghosty. However, I may have bought some items from you - was it you who sold me the Corgi Juniors album? :?:

Yes my friend it was and you are very welcome to the memories it holds for me and I hope it finds a good place in your collection. If you have not been to Windsor before, don't let this one prevent you from going again as it is usually much bigger and busier than Today and the Two rows of empty tables in front of me are the result of 17 dealer/traders not re-booking for this event!

I look forward to meeting you again Fred, take care and carry on enjoying the hobby.

It was good to meet you Ghosty. I've been to Windsor before (first time was in 1990 - I still have the metal badge!). I thought it seemed a bit quieter than usual, but didn't realise so many traders were absent. Was there a particular reason for this? I hope your sales were't adversely affected.

I like "peripheral" items like the Juniors album, as they add interest to the collection. It will have a treasured place in my collection - if I post a list of the missing cards, do you think that those lucky forum members with carded Juniors would be happy to cut out the cards from their packaging and send them to me? :lol: .I have a copy of the Corgi "All About Cars and Motoring" book which you had - it's a real shame they only made the one edition of this, as it would have made a great annual.
