this may sound like a horrible decease, but actually it is much worse if you're a GP collector! It's constant pain and dismay. There is only one cure... Best, CC ...
the 9075 and the 8846 are prime targets but also likely the most difficult ones. The silver bottom left is though the 8846s twin brother, the 8862 (square pushers instead of mushroom and no lume) CC
fair which is not in spirit of Olympics Wow As I said you and blomman will be end of me Nice Olimpico collection...well done my friend! Cheers D Olimpicoless
I have a few pieces here and there that I'm missing and would like to find or could upgrade some to better ones , but a new big theme...hmm. Still longing for a few modern / semi-modern GPs, so perhaps the focus will shift towards those... who knows.
I love that Olimpico group picture, and the wit that goes with it. To collect all of that in 18 months is quite impressive, congrats! Love that 9075-AF, for me that Colour combination just works. To more Olimpicos!
