Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

This has been mentioned already by Greppers and Goofee (it’s not embarrassing owning up to collecting something if someone else does it too!): Wisdens. Every one back to 1963, the year I was born.

I started in 1976, when I became aware of them. When I was a student, I bought the softback editions because they were cheaper, but then eBay came along and I replaced them with hardbacks. Then I backfilled to 1963. I daren’t buy any earlier ones, because then the madness will take over and I’ll spend more than I can afford to 😮

Slightly off topic but does anyone else find themselves ‘accidentally’ keeping all their copies of National Geographic?

Yep, though I have now given mine to my son. ;)

I have been debating whether to try and re-acquire copies of all the editions that had maps of the US states as supplements some time in the early/mid 1970s. Hmm, now what’s that auction site called again?

I have nearly the full set of Blue Peter annuals 1-25 (collected pre auction sites). T9 is enjoying them!
