Deals for old strip Minifigs are always best done in the dark of night. They don't look so bad that way.

I just dealt away almost 8 pounds of strip Minifigs Greeks & Persians, but then acquired a few more strips of T'ang Chinese and Tibetans. --All transactions done late at night. (Grins.)

Salutations, gentlefolk,

Well, another 3.4 strips turned up today. Have all the Strip Minifigs I have ready, and will compile new catalog and get orders ready as soon as I write checks for the stack of bills currently occupying worktable.

Am thinking of a 'Tape to Cardboard, Insert in Baggie, Armor with More Cardboard, Stuff in Flat-Rate Envelope' system of shipping - suggestions or objections ?

Hope you and yours are healthy and happy, and had a joyful Fathers' Day.

In memorium, Lawrence Joseph Desmond II, 1913-2003. He was a good man, may he rest in peace.

Yours, John Desmond

Salutations, again, gentlefolk,

Should've mentioned that I can also bring figures to Historicon or WBC.

And now the little matter of monjy...

You can send me checks or money orders, or - possibly - make payments to the Paypal account of a friend of mine (need to check with him, find out details)

Finally, would any of you like to opine on what would be a 'fair' price for these figures ?

Yours, John Desmond
