I hereby curse your friendly postman. Not once, has he dropped anything like this to me. He is clearly failing in his duty. Lol.

Hold on a minute, I don’t have the friendly postman or UPS driver, that's Doug Ellis you're confusing me with.  I'm  totally innocent here, just a humble collector trying to get along!

I know all about Doug. You have just as incredible a collection. 'Just a humble collector' with a guy who delivers goodies to you too. Do you guys have the goods on them? I never get anything this nice delivered to my door.  Lol. Seriously, your collection is amazing. As is Dougs. You chose well. I ran out of wall space years ago. Beats me how you guys manage.

Everything wonderful about the imagination of sci-fi during that time period with the gorgeous fantasy work as the visual focus.  Finlay creates a lavish full color scene that you didn't often see in other medium.
