Just to make people aware, members I know and members I don't, that Bondposters.com is a reference website made up of items not just from my own collection. Reason I added an online store was to sell in one place as opposed to another website in the belief it would make things easier, but this caused a problem. Bondposters.com was and is after all a reference website, so in the end having an online store was confusing for many people. Therefore, I created a new selling website and returned Bondposters.com to a reference-only website which was and is the right thing to do.
Also, with regards to the comments about "largest collection"; this was a quote from someone else and I used it naively (if some noticed, I hadn't actually changed that content since it was created 4-5 years ago). Hindsight is a wonderful thing as I should not have used that quote - I got into creating websites and content blind, so learning what to use/what not to use and what to say/what not to say in several mediums is a very interesting process and something I advise others to do - I learnt many things through completing an Advertising degree.
Not much else to say other than I just wanted people to know the above information and so I do hope Holiday and Thierry look at this and see that I should NOT have to continually defend myself to torrents of abuse from a certain member, especially with new members joining, as his words genuinely (and wrongly) damage my name. And for new members; he was invited to meet me and see my entire collection first hand even when he planned a trip to the UK, but he ignored me which should tell you everything.
ANYWAY...
If anybody is an elite collector, I put forward Simes as I do not believe he has been singled out as yet.
Very nice man. Very good collector. Very dedicated.
The other collectors I would mention have already been named.
