Look away now if you are not keen on lots of words and if you don't mind reading my drivel (or are forced to as you want a plaque or so (sorry about that), make yourself comfortable..............
I hope to start selling the James Bond type plaques next weekend (haha, if I don't have a breakdown first).
I had better elaborate, that'll get rid of some of the non readers that didn't read the first sentence, as I want no confusion about these.
The plaques that I have been showing off (for once in my sad life) are of the same type, era and denominations of the 4 plaques seen in the film "Dr No" and until somebody finds me a list of the ones used I have no idea if used in the film or not BUT they would have been lent to them by the Le Cercle casino (within Les A) and these are the exact same type as shown/used and 100% genuine. Trust me, they are kosher. So it is a distinct possibility I may have them.
I have a lot of some, fewer of others (as I have explained throughout my threads) and obviously varying grades and degrees of beauty.
These are now probably going to be sold (or attempt to) singularly so people can mix and match for their budget requirements.
I hope to have a price guide and a picture guide to help us all by then but only if the missus is still talking to me or this may be the last you hear from me (thank fu*k for that I hear them cry). Relax, you'll only get to see it if interested so some of you can go back to the TV soon.
More details will be forthcoming over this week so it all might change again but there are so many options my brain's fried now (days ago actually).
I have ones that look like they were made yesterday (sorry they are NOT cheap although I think they are for what the are and represent but hey, I'm biased). The next grade will have small faults but be just as beautiful. 3rd grade will be the usual sort of condition you find this era plaques in (ink spots on back, slight pushed middles, need another clean etc etc) but in the main, minor. Next 3 or 4 grades will have more of the faults but still actually pretty nice on the eyes.
Obviously this is the short version and anybody who decides to splash out will get good photos of the ones they hope to buy and a description as I really do want everybody to be as happy as Larry when they receive them. Most people don't grade their plaques (I can see why) but I feel these are too important not to so (as I keep waffling on about) I want to do them justice. Yes I really am that stupid.
Examples are shown underneath just to keep the non readers occupied and are pretty obvious I feel. The picture guide should be even better and easier (for me mainly) to follow. I bloody well hope so.
If nobody is interested I will happily write off my investment and just buy a roulette wheel, sit in the summer house and amuse myself, sod yers. Sorry, only kidding, I think the breakdown is starting. I will be listing them elsewhere (chip board,
eBay at some stage and FB, why I bother I don't know but hey got to try). Actually I do have pre-orders so at least some will escape to appreciative collectors of casino stuff, Bond and maybe even the Beatles fans.
Wait until you see the ones from the 1970s (I think), you won't need a viagra (if that way inclined) and all are in beautiful condition with low numbers as I doubt that many were made. Prices will be made available to those that inquire first and then probably on here but not yet. If you stayed until here then you are either interested, bored or something else but thanks to all that did. FFS shut up! All done, bye.
I bet I still missed about 6 things that popped into my head as I was typing this novel but hey, another time perhaps.
