Going through boxes of records which haven't been seen since buying them is just like Christmas morning! " I have this? ooo, and this? wow, and these! " Discovering that I already had a record, but forgot & paid good money for another copy - not as much fun as Xmas ... it's more like Tax Return

No Dave, his previous ads did not mention anything about paper stickers, which is why PayPal refunded my money. He actually ran several auctions previous to the one that I bid on, with authentic rare tins, but they were always won by his friend... It was classic bait and switch. My point was, n
