I started collecting stamps in the late '40s and if you bought a pack of stamps cheapish, you were guaranteed to have several German stamps overprinted with millions of marks value.
A 1923 500million mark stamp overprinted 10 milliarden (10 billion) marks was valued at 6pence (I think that's 1 1/2p) according to my Stanley Gibbons 1953 stamp catalogue.

Sorry, that's triggered me. I just remembered the hell that was stamp hinges.
I think I only collected stamps for about a year. You could send money to some dodgy guy who would send you assorted stamps through the post, and you'd stick them in your stamp album. I could see the appeal, but it faded.

And in the ads in Victor comic there was always a few for bumper bags of stamps with the promise there could be a rarity. There never was.
My Dad collected stamps from when he was at primary school and I inherited his beautiful albums. Every stamp lovingly stuck in on a stamp hinge, and each one with a short annotation as to where he got it and what it was about. There were first day covers, envelopes that contained letters from his several pen friends ( South African, American, Dutch).
I showed them to an “authority” and he explained Dad had collected the wrong sort of stamps, and his collection amassed over 70 years was worth pennies.
Sod the financial valuation, I count those albums among my most treasured remembrances of the man who I didn’t get on with, but who was passionate about his philately.

I was the same, after doing the collecting for a year or two, the collection languished in a draw for years until I joined the Army, was posted to Germany and sold the collection to one of the German chaps in the ammo depot office!

So,
The Lucca thread has turned into stamp collecting,
Theres a connection somewhere….

Guess he is our Penny red.
Still it makes a change from when the Nuno thread became all about crisps.

Have you seen the postage fees for 2m+ parcels...probably cheaper to pay the £30 transfer fee.

Last night I dreamed Lucca scored a last 8 minute hat trick to help Forest come back from being 2 down in our end of season game at home against Bournemouth, thereby saving us from relegation and condemning Spurs to the Championship.
It was a very vivid dream.

It's definitely "weird dreams about the relegation battle" time for me, too.
I dreamt Leeds played Villa in a league match...at the City Ground. Neutral location was necessary and nobody in the dream questioned it. I sat in the home dugout with a mate who supports Stoke.
Villa missed a load of chances but eventually went 1-0 up through a goal almost identical to the one Mangala scored against them a couple of seasons ago, where Martinez palmed it into the air but it bounced in.
Villa and Leeds don't play each other again this season, so make of it what you will.

My dad took share options as salary add ons in the early 70s....
One drunken night a few years later ( him, not 15 year old me) we wallpapered the sitting room with the now worthless certificates.
My mum was not amused when she emerged from the safe part of the house in the morning.

Similar to a Taylor Swift concert. My friend was quoted 300 pounds for a ticket, but I told him he should expect to receive more.
The Bologna interest will be an April Fools. Have the Forest people who brought the lad here been fired yet?

Did anyone who went to the open training see what happened with him?
A) Seemed to injure Big T in the piggy in the middle
B) Getting into a pushing match with CHO right before the Kids penalties
C) Get a talking to from MGW before the photos
and D) Stand on his own virtually any time the players were stood as a group
Genuinely felt a bit of cringe for him

He did, but he wasn't the only one.

Have you been experimenting with Purple Ohms, Capt?
Bizarrely this could happen. It’s the Forest way.

A lot of the finishing was absolutely honking yesterday. That snapshot of sustained shooting perfectly illustrated why we haven't scored many goals. On the flip side, once Woody got a few early rusty ones out of the way he looked devastating in front of goal.
Yes, that’s true, to be fair. I thought Milenkovic’s finishing was really good. Put him up front for the last 10 if we are chasing a game.
Far have we travelled

Sadly, I noticed that too. Wood did look sharp though, Mcatee showed he could finish well, and Taiwo generally put his shots away when one on one with the keeper. Bakwa's finishing was awful.

How can this thread be at page 54? You guys have way too much time on your hands.

You will find out tomorrow if he has a decent touch of the ball for 30 seconds, there will then be people questioning why we are rushing Wood back and risking him getting injured when we have had the Messiah all along in the squad. Only for them to all fall silent and not say a word when Lucca isn't even in the squad on Sunday.
