It is not so easy to comment when previous collecting years have passed you by.
The highlights of the year I would say were:-

Ebay sales of the Novag Robot and Mephisto Turniermaschine.
Kurts charity auction.
Seeing off the Tasc scam.

I would drink to that. Clearly from the Ebay auctions, particularly in Germany,
there is no shortage of people interested. It seems to me that the websites and
message boards have an important role to play in encouraging the hobby.

All the best
