After 100 catalogues, over 1000 bookfairs and 45 years selling books and memorabilia I have now ceased trading. I have had a great time and enjoyed myself immensely dealing in cricket. I have met some good people along the way and made plenty of friends. I am grateful to all who have bought from me, and I hope your collections flourish.
David Wilkinson, who worked for me for 30 years, has now left. The business would not have developed as it did without his hard work, dedication and discipline. He has run the office while I have been travelling the country, and helped many people with their collections. His knowledge of postcards, autographs and cricket in general far exceeds mine. He has taken pictures of the stock, uploaded everything to the website, and laid out the catalogues.
The website is now closed, and my stock will be sold at auction.
Saturday September 13th. Tim Knight will be holding an auction of about 500 lots from my stock and reserves. It will be at the Leonardo Hotel, Gloucester Road, Cheltenham, GL51 0TS. There will be viewing on the afternoon and evening of Friday 12th, and the morning of the sale. Tim will be producing a catalogue in his usual way, and there will of course be online bidding. I hope to see some of you there. I will be staying at the hotel on Friday night and am happy to buy the drinks!
Tuesday October 28th. Chorleys, at Prinknash Abbey Park, GL4 8EX, will be selling the majority of my books, pictures and memorabilia. There will be viewing beforehand.
As for the rest of my ephemeral items – brochures, autograph sheets, postcards, scorecards etc they will be sold by Tim Knight over the next year or so in his regular auctions.
