Description

THE SMITHS

GIRLFRIEND IN A COMA

GREY COVER

OK,.. THERE ARE SOMETIMES A FEW GREY SLEEVES THAT APPEAR ON EBAY.. NUMBER 19 IN THE TOP 100 RC LIST. BUT NONE ARE ON THIS LEVEL.

I BOUGHT THIS FROM A EXCELLENT SMITHS BUYER/SELLER AND NEEDED TO FIND OUT IF MY SUSPICIONS WERE CORRECT.. THEY ARE.

I HAVE HAD THIS CHECKED OUT BY A LOCAL PRINTING FIRM, THEY HAVE CONFIRMED THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN THE LAST OF A RUN.. I WILL EXPLAIN THIS LATER.

THE TOP OF THE COVER ON THE TOP SPINE IS GREEN.. IT IS NOT DUE TO FADING WITH THE SUN AS WAS THOUGHT BY THE PREVIOUS OWNER.. THE INK WAS CHANGED AND THE NEXT COPY WOULD HAVE BEEN THE GIRLFRIEND IN A COMA YOU ALL KNOW.. WITH THE GREEN TINT COVER.. THIS IS WITHOUT DOUBT THE FINAL COPY OF THE ALREADY RARE GREY GIRLFRIEND..

WITHOUT DOUBT THIS IS POSSIBLY ONE THE RAREST ITEMS EVER TO APPEAR ON EBAY,.. I SPOKE TO A LOCAL PRINTING FIRM WHO HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE SMITHS,.. THEY SAID STRAIGHT AWAY THE NEXT COPY WOULD HAVE BEEN GREEN WITH NO HESITATION.. THE REASONS THEY GAVE BAFFLED ME AS IM NOT A PRINTING EXPERT.

THE COVER IS GREY ( NO.19 IN RC LIST )// THE TOP SPINE IS GREEN

AMAZING

THE COVER DOES HAVE VERY MINOR STORAGE WEAR AND IF YOU WILL SLIGHT SPLIT AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM BUT THE SPLIT DOES NOT SHOW MUCH AND IN FACT I WOULDNT REALLY CALL THEM SPLITS AS THERE IS NO GAP.. MORE LIKE WEAR...

THE VINYL IS EXCELLENT, AND I HAVE TO GRADE THE COVER ALSO EXCEPT IF ONLY FOR THE FACT ITS A ONE OFF.. ROCKING HORSE RARE

GOODNIGHT AND THANK YOU

I SHIP WORLDWIDE

UK £3.00 EUROPE £5.00 R.O.W £7.00

GOODNIGHT AND THANK YOU

YOU HAVE INCREDIBLY GOOD TASTE.

THE VINYLS ARE BOTH IN A EXCELLENT CONDITION.

PAYPAL ONLY FOR INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS

I SEND ITEMS FIRST CLASS AND BY AIR-MAIL FOR OVERSEAS BUYERS, IF YOU WISH ANOTHER TYPE OF DELIVERY PLEASE ASK BEFORE THE ITEM CONCLUDES FOR A PRICE REFERRAL.

I ALWAYS RETAIN POSTING PROOF AND CANNOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR LOST ITEMS IF INSURANCE IS NOT ASKED FOR, BE REST ASSURED THOUGH I WILL DO EVERYTHING WITHIN MY POWERS TO TRACE YOUR ITEM IF LOST BY OUR/YOUR BELOVED POSTAL SYSTEM.

THANK YOU FOR LOOKING AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS PLEASE E-MAIL ME, I ALWAYS LEAVE FEEDBACK AFTER I HAVE RECEIVED AS THIS INDICATES YOU ARE HAPPY WITH YOUR GOODS, I ALWAYS RECTIFY ANY PROBLEM IF THE PROBLEM IS BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION BEFORE FEEDBACK IS LEFT.

DUE THE UPRISING OF NON PAYING BIDDERS, FIRSTLY SHAME ON YOU AND SECONDLY I WILL REPORT YOU TO E-BAY AND HAVE A NON PAYING BID ALERT TO YOUR ACCOUNT AND GET A REFUND FROM E-BAY WHICH IS SOMETHING THEY HATE DOING AND THEY LOOK UPON THE NON PAYING BIDDERS AS GRIMLY AS SELLERS, AND I WILL ALWAYS LEAVE A NEGATIVE FEEDBACK FOR THAT BUYER SO TO INFORM OTHERS. SO THE RULE IS SIMPLE IF YOU DON’T INTEND ON PAYING PLEASE DON’T BID AS I WOULD RATHER SELL THE ITEM FOR A POUND THAN A FIVER I DON’T GET.

ALREADY CAUSING A STIR AS I KNEW IT WOULD..!!

NO SUN GOT TO THIS.. IF THE SUN PROJECTED ITSELF UPON THE COVER.. WOULD IT HAVE ONLY HAVE STAINED 3/4 OF THE TOP SPINE??

NO

IM GETTING TIRED OF STUPID QUESTIONS,.. AND I FEEL ITS TIME FOR ME TO LEAVE MY SMITHS ITEMS IN STORAGE OR FOR PEOPLE WHO KNOW WHAT IS WHAT...

On 04-Mar-07 at 15:27:18 GMT, seller added the following information:

I MUST THANK RAGGI FOR THE CORRECT WAY TO CONTACT ME ABOUT THIS ITEM, HE IS A TRUE EBAY GENT , HE HAS TOLD ME HE ALSO HAS A GREY GIRLFRIEND WITH THE TOP SPINE GREEN.. I DID SAY MAYBE IN THE LISTING AND I MYSELF WAS NOT 110% SURE.. IF THOUGH THERE ARE 300 GREY GIRLFRIENDS IN THE WORLD.. AT MAX THERE CAN ONLY 10 OF THESE.. SO THIS IS BY FAR MORE RARE.. I WILL LEAVE THIS AUCTION TO KNOW RUN ITS COURSE,.. I WILL BE ALSO BE LISTING A COMPLETY GREY GIRLFRIEND SHORTLY, UNLESS I DECIDE TO SELL THEM TOGETHER :~)
