Jon, those postcards are neat.
Congratulations on the postcards, Jon. Glad you got a set.
I haven't updated my collection thread for a few months, as everything has been outgoing rather than additions to the collection. Many thanks to everybody who has bought a book or a stack of them in some cases! I am so grateful to all the buyers. It has helped my out of a sticky and unlucky period. I feel I'm getting back on track. I have decided to no longer collect S/Ls and lettereds (I have sold about half my S/Ls (mostly US) and most of my lettereds). However, I have continued buying a few proofs, after a few months pause, as I find this side of collecting fascinating and very rewarding. I will never get them all (as that is impossible, right?) but it's very satisfying to tick another one or two off the list. The fewer that I need, the harder it's getting to find the missing ones. I have enough for a couple of months of Rare Proof Wednesdays, so come Wednesday I may have something to post.
Very sorry you had to sell just about everything. But I too, want to get more into the proof side of things. I only have two right now so that is a weakness in my collection for sure. I won't be able to get all, like you indicate, or the real expensive ones, but I hope to get enough to get a nice set. Good luck on you proof collecting. I am looking forward to seeing what you have been collecting and I can't wait to see your rare proofs. The two that I have are The Talisman and the smaller From a Buick 8 which is flat signed. But again, good luck.
Bummer about the collection, Jon . Good to see you back though and looking forward to RPW once again!

Jon, pleased to see you coming out of this rough spot and that you are still collecting. I'm also looking forward to Rare Proof Wednesday! Two months worth means you have been busy!
Glad to hear you getting back on track, Jon! Looking forward to Wednesdays again

Thanks. Proof collecting is easy at first, there are a lot of common ones to get. Then you hit a brick wall as the remaining ones you need are almost impossible to find (and more expensive) and only come up once every few years. But, good luck in your search, it's fun. The UK From a Buick 8 is not an easy to find signed. I don't think I've seen once before. Congratulations.
Thanks. Brian.
Thanks Jeff. Yes, still collecting the proofs. At this moment I have 13 to post.
Thanks Chad. Until tomorrow!
The start of few RPWs. For some reason I have found it very difficult to find the proofs of this King title, but I've now found most of them!

He's back baby! He's back!! Great stuff, Jon...
Congrats on the FDNS--it's a tough one as is the white spine--I hope another one of those turns up in the near future. I bet I know where the last one ended up. So good to see you back and I look forward to the additional reveals. I went back through your recent acquisitions and they are just spectacular!
Great find on FDNS. It’s going to be neat watching the proofs that you’re able to uncover.

Fabulous DarN Selection there! And it's a good read as well.
I'm sure if there is intelligent life somewhere out there in the universe, they are wise enough to stay away from us.

Thanks Antoni.
Thanks Jeff. I’ve certainly had trouble with FDNS. It looks like the black tape state is unobtainable, as you have the only known copy. As for the white tape, you’ll have to wait and see.
Thanks Luke. I’ll start with the not so rare and built up.
Thanks Steve. I enjoyed the stories as well.
That's a good one to find, Jon. Congrats man
Nice!

Nice FDNS! I'm so glad RPW is back!!!
Great to have you (and RPW) back, Jon!
CONGRATS JON !!!
