I saw a load of these cards yesterday, when I had been promised 40 of them, all different, when i arrived at the Annual cartophilic event in Stratford yesterday - late from my hotel, overslept after late planes redeye trip - but when I arrived seller had sold all (about 300 cards!) including all 6 of the Bobby Charlton card!! Much duplication but incredible amount of Man U material from this Soiree set. All were cut though, no uncut slides. Now in the hands of others boo hoo.
ReplyDeleteAmazing story, but so disappointing. Sounds as if they've been bought by another dealer, for all over them to have been sold so quickly.
