Stuff to Make Us Laugh

This is mental. In my mind it's no different to buying an acre of the moon. I want my part out of the slab please. -

They've been around for a good while I think. Blindingly obvious too. -

I will do anything for money (but i won't do that)

I was in Rome a few years ago for Italy v England in the 6 Nations. They had beer wallahs walking up and down the steps to save you going to the bar. As it (Stadio Olympico) is primarily a football ground they'd been told to pour the beer from the cans into the waiting plastic glasses. The bloke on duty near us got bored and just started passing out 4 packs. Nothing got thrown, it and we got drunk. They had great big perspex screens separating sections of the crowd - presumably to stop me giving some Italian fella a cuddle at half time? I went out with an England flag and came home with an Italian one. Cracking day out, never a hint of trouble. Football fans are (largely) an embarrassment. -

I hate it too, but if you cart it about in your pocket with the rest of your change for about a year you can take the shine off it and make it look a bit better. I'd have kept it, but then I keep everything. -

Bloody hell. Poor Dave.

My preference is nice acid-free 2x2 envelopes. I've never liked flips but that's what they arrived in so I left them.

Most people seem to think Mylar's fine but I'd never use it again for anything. Good job these were cheap!

I like it! -
Personally I wouldn't. I had these stored in a 2x2 mylar flip (as delivered from the seller) and now they're considerably impaired.

Other reference numbers Other reference: IOW2019-7-283 Might this have been found on the Isle of Wight?

I think it looks better repaired too, and it appears to have been done quite nicely.
-
As I don't collect hammered, is the repair acceptable or would it have been better left?

As above Mike, £1.99 worth of open 3.
