Was out last weekend & a good friend & ex serious collector, was on about just what great finds/bargains you could pick up during the mid eighties (I was mostly off the scene at that time). He told me about a guy who turned up at Parr Hall Warrington with 6 (that's six) mint copies of Cecil Washington on him, my mate Geoff bought one, as it was all he could afford on the night, said he had to flog a few of his own just to do raise the cash, think he paid something like £50 or so.
Was also talking to Ian Cunliffe, boy has he got a story or two to tell, could have listened to him all night with stories of a similar vain, top bloke.
Anyway, got me thinking, must be a vast amount of what are now regards as rare gems picked up for a real bargains in those days.
