Glad u liked them Queen Lynxana, I really wanted to keep hold of them and continue to extend my collection but, some really expensive dental work on my wifes teeth meant i had to sell them to pay for it.
I can understand all about dental work. Last March, I got my wisdom teeth removed and that was painful for nearly a week.
I feel bad for the post I wrote, I never meant to rub anything in your nose, that was stupid of me and I apologize. I innocently bragged about my collection. I guess I was so proud of myself and for once I was able to buy something Thundercats related without my husband complaining about it. Sure it's okay for him to buy tools and stuff, but when it comes to me, I find myself giving almost a thesis of why I should get it. LOL
But look at it this way, I value these comics and have a deep love for Thundercats since I was 9 years old. I'm pushing 34 years old now. I do have my collection safeguarded and I was thinking of either getting renter's insurance or just storing them at my mother's home because she has home-owner's insurance. I have my father's stamp collection stored at her home (my inheritance from him) because she is insured. I am odd, I do like stamp collecting and I remember my father collecting mint stamps all throughout my childhood. Trust me, this collection is worth a lot. Everything is mint except for "Cattle in the Storm". I guess the most prized possession of that collection is the $1 stamp called
"Cattle In The Storm" only 56,900 were made in 1898. I am now one of the lucky few to own this priceless stamp in the world.
Edit I need to add, my father bought that stamp "Cattle In The Storm" with his inheritance from his father. So there is a lot of history behind that stamp for me. What was his inheritance is now my inheritance.
As far as other many expensive stamps, no, my father didn't own the "upside down Jenny" but he did own the "landing Jenny" it's a stamp about a biplane. Any stamp that is misprinted or with mistakes are priceless. The landing Jenny is printed too low on the stamp....thus the nick name, Landing Jenny.
The only thing I want to buy for this collection is a stamp sheet called "The Battle of White Planes" my father used to have that sheet but sold it to keep the house. Someday, I will hunt down that sheet and re-buy it.
I am a very serious collector of valuable things. The other thing I love to collect is Waterford Crystal....the Lismore pattern.
So buying your collection was an achievement for me, to buy something rare and beautiful without having it handed down to me. I appreciate your collection with the utmost respect. I am probably, as far as we know, the only US collector of UK Thundercats comics to own the largest collection. My collection now surpasses Purrsia's. She used to have the most with me second, now I'm the first. Speaking of which, I promised to send her those extras I had that she needed. I need to send her an e-mail about that.
I just want you to feel rest assured that this comic collection is in safe hands and well taken care of.
