I retired from Protein & DNA research work in 2009. Now I hike mountains, sell my photos when I can, and work in movies/TV shows as an extra. I also get to act in local productions, but only for the experience, so far. Still learning.
Arrived on time, as described, and well packaged. Thanks you very much!

I'm happy to know that you received them. Sorry to make you sign for them, but I thought it best. I probably could have asked for more money, but I never had the coins appraised, and this seemed about the going rate. My fun was in collecting them and completing the set. Enjoy. They are in pretty good shape. Did my best, but I didn't didn't have a lot of money to spend at time.

Very good seller, fast shipping, nice coins, A+++++
This is a fun ride. All characters play major roles and all make fun of themselves while doing it. Characterization has improved. Well written. The sight gags and running jokes continue, and the stories almost, kind of, make sense, as far as they can, given the cast of characters.

The first two Sherlock Holmes cases
These are great stories, probably Doyle's best Holmes stories. In 'A Study In Scarlet', Doyle introduces Sherlock Holmes for the first time. Although he published other stories before 'A Study in Scarlet' and after, and before 'The Sign of Four', it is in that story that Holmes makes his second appearance, and we find out so much more about Holmes, who is not quite the person we had imagined earlier, but a man with weaknesses and who is not entirely infallible. If you have only read 'The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes' which followed these two, then you've missed a lot, as these two stories are probably the best, and most interesting of them all, although the later 'Hound of the Baskervilles' is right up there too.

At what age is it dirty?
The theme of May-December relationships is an old one, and has been explored in other movies, often to the disgust of many people. Many women feel that it is the inequalities of our patriarchal society that makes it possible for old, especially rich and/or powerful men to attract younger women, while older women rarely attract younger men, and seem to be often left by men their age who lust after younger women. With Peter O'Toole in the movie, I expected to see something a little out of the ordinary, and I was not disappointed. He is a marvelous actor. His character does not seduce a younger woman because of his fame and fortune. In fact, he has no fortune, and the young woman knows nothing of his past fame, and could care less who he is. To her, he is an ancient fossil, and with 56 years between them, that is close to the truth. However, despite the suspicion and disgust with which society in general views such a relationship, as exemplified by the old man's friends turning on him, the two main characters do have a relationship. It is not so much sexual, although that is an element, as it is a real friendship, ultimately touching and changing both people. O'Toole plays an old man who openly expresses sexual desire for a woman who openly expresses her disgust at such lechery. However, they are drawn to each other for companionship, and realize they can share some affection. This movie especially made me realize that our unthinking condemnation of people with much less of an age gap bears reexamination. Perhaps people above the age of consent should be free to explore whatever they like? especially if both people get something out of the relationship? What a concept! Beautifully acted and filmed. Worth a repeat viewing - which is, after all, why I bought it.
