The license plate is the best! Well done, my friend.
You could sponsor a game to come up with your new license plate code. The winner could get a tidbit from your extensive collection. . .and your old plate, of course.
Just an idea. . .or a hint, perhaps.

Not a bad idea, Gary. However, my old plate was a regular plate, not the special UAKM PD plate. Course, if anyone would like to bid on it just for the sake (isn't it odd that the English sake is so similar for Japan's sake) of adding to TOG retirement fund, please feel free to do so. Just hurry. I'm not getting any younger.

Hey, I'd make a nice contribution to the Retirement fund for those french novels, they are sweet.
Actually, do they have ISBN numbers on them? If so, can ya shoot me off that info??
Muchos Gratis, or nachos bell grande, whatevah.

Best thing about all of that is rest assured Tex's legacy will remain in-tact forever and ever and ever

Amazon.com, go to bottom of main page, choose France or French, type in ISBN, do money conversion, etc. Also, sometimes they're available in Canada.

I am overawed!!!!!!! I came across Tex in the UAKM days and never got to play Martian or Mean Streets, so I'm overly jealous of those copies that you have.
Great collection, TOG. I hope that you have them insured to about $2 million, because some of that stuff is truly priceless to us fanboys & fangirls.

A really killer collection. It must have taken some time to amass. How much of it was bought off the shelf during that time and how much second hand (ebay etc)?

UAKM and TMO were bought off the shelf; PD I acquired on line along with the rest.

How many copies do you expect to misplace? lol
Wow, if Indiana Jones was a Tex fan, i'm sure your shelves would be his Holy Grail.

You're right, Joel! I consider this collection to be MY holy grail - almost.

That's no joke, Bjyman.

Fantastic!!! I just got my French Pandora Directive novel, and hope to get my French UAKM soon.
Thank you so much. I'd been hunting for ages on Albirs, and Abe with zero luck. It took just a few minutes.
