Oh absolutely. I tend to buy a Wisden serendipitously when a good deal comes up. This means I do have odd gaps. The really sad thing is that I have all the gaps in my head and have typed this direct from memory:lawsideopener wrote:Christies sale could solve that, Mike.
Your collection seems to have mirrored mine. I'd have a nice run and then something earlier would come up so I'd buy it and then I would take ages creating lots of smaller gaps giving me the opportunity to build small runs. That way, it felt like I was making progress when, using your example, I picked up a 1911 and then perhaps a 1912 to give me the 1910 - 1913 run even though there was another gap to 1920 still to fill.
Does that make sense?
Yep, they were. Slightly fewer gaps now though.grimble wrote:No those are mikes I think (I was quoting him, but misleadingly deleted some of his post).
Mine are 1864-79 and 1901 and 03 (I think). Im not entirely happy with my Edwardian softbacks as some have had some "work" done which wasn't declared by the vendors some of whom should know better.
But don't get me started.
