I purchased 50 albums and received 10 sets of five.
I am happy.

girls are never any trouble mate - trust me darlink

i was a highjumper when I was younger but I didn't do that roll (fosbury flop) - straight out scissors technique for moi
my arch nemesis always did the fosbury flop and always beat me

the b** bar would wobble and vibrate but the damn thing would stay there  & she'd get the little blue ribbon

my brothers were the QLD age champions so I had good incentive to be better at it but alas no state champ in this chick

jeepers I loved that sport

so I am really happy have a carded set with the highjumper on it & also did competitive swimming when I was a teenager as well - I was better in the water than trying to fly over stupid metal bars that won't stay where they are supposed to ha ha  

although, no state champion swimmer mind you - but Tracey Whikham  was a little up and coming in the pool in the suburb up the road when I was swimming - we all heard about this superfast little girl

ahhh the olympics brings out fond memories of our more athletic days !!!

Possum possum possum, never any trouble, I find that a bit hard to believe :winkextra: You'll have to get Mr RG to set up a few jumps in the back yard and you and the girls can have a run :laugh2:

I met Tracey when I was 12 at dreamworld and got her autograph, she was pretty cool :)

I have just had a close look at the seven coins my wife got from Woolies and six of them I consider nice UNC (MSsomething anyway). Has the RAM picked up its game with these or have I just been rather lucky?
Thinking is dangerous, it makes you think. That\'s why many people avoid it.

local stores only got certain sets  
all we saw were the highjumpers and the waterpolo
i bought the bike rider at the mint but they didn't have any swimmers  
they said woolies got most of them

I've got his autograph on a pair of boxing gloves, which have blood stains, don't know whose.
It's signed in Biro which makes it a bit hard to see.

Are you sending that in to Collectors Universe (owns PCGS) to have it graded/certified? :)

Goldseeker
