After deciding to start collecting some of the vintage stationery from Helix and Letraset I got off to a flying start. All ebay.
The R2 writing set got me started as it was something I had and remember buying when I was little from the local newsagents. Would like to upgrade to a better example at some point but I'm happy to have this. The Pencil case was only £12 and although it's missing the outer sleeve it's unused. The ruler was £10, again, unused but my favourite so far is the Helix School Set. Ebay buy it now for £40, almost complete, missing one ruler, the pencil sharpener and rubber, and the black felt tip pen. Love the artwork and it came with the 2 small erasers with Han and Tarkin on. Now looking for the pencil case with cardboard sleeve, maths set and coloured pencils...

Also got these! Absolute bargain, £30 for the lot. The 1st series card box is the British version and is pretty much mint with the top unfolded and uncut. Both sets of cards are complete and in stunning condition. I believe these are also British cards as the back is white and I think US sets were darker - someone who knows more about the Topps cards could clarify that though!

That's a fantastic deal and you do indeed have the UK set as the numbers on the red set are 1A ect and the US set continued after the last number on the blue set ( 66 on blue, 67 on red I think). I would have also snapped that set up so it just goes to show that there are still bargains out there!
Oh and if that box is ever something you want to let go of please do drop me a line!! :wink:

Awesome proof run.. Awesome.
Hi all!
Been on a 6 month break due to work and family commitments, just getting back into the groove
I thinned out my collection a bit as I feel it was becoming a "hoard" not a "collection", so set myself the task of completing a full run of 96 MOC's. Very shortly I'll be down to 3 left to get across a good mix of cardbacks :-D
Picked this beauty up just before my break :-D
