Olympic Fan Darcy Posted February 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 3, 2013 Eh i'll think about it. Item 90 euros is pretty good but postage to Australia is 40 euros. $170. Possibly an easter present for myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympic Fan Darcy Posted February 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Lake Placid 1980? http://www.delcampe.net/page/item/id,160072039,var,Olympische-Spiele-Lake-Placid-1980-in-Lindner-Alben-mit-Kasette--Deutsche-Sporthilfe-S--23-,language,E.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord David Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 It's in German, which (alongside the evident images) clearly indicates that it's some sort of commemorative book, produced perhaps by the West German Olympic Committee.

Olympic Fan Darcy Posted February 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Pretty cheap 2012 NYC bid book. Would recommend buying! http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2012-New-York-Olympic-Bid-Book-RARE-/271157063790?pt=US_Olympics_Fan_Shop&hash=item3f2238706e&_uhb=1#ht_2097wt_1596 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord David Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Yeah, watching that one. Dunno, maybe. I already know much about that bid anyways. If it wasn't so sloppy (where they were forced to change main venues during the bid) then my consideration for it might be a bit bigger.

Olympic Fan Darcy Posted February 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Eh I thought it was a good book. Not happy Someone outbid me on the Melbourne books. Was willing to go as high as $140 plus the $30 postage. But $200 plus $30 is too much. If it had the case and stickers on the front of all books I probably would but i'll let this one go. Hope whoever gets it enjoys it... not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord David Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 I paid 500 for mine a couple of years back, came with the slipcase (no sticker on that though). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord David Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 I want more proof. For all we know this could just be a condensed version produced as part of the bid, like a mini bid book. I know Atlanta produced a 2 book commemorative edition and Melbourne offered a small bid book brochure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted March 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 eeeek. I already said $100 for it. He's sent me pictures and stuff. I don't want to lose my money over it.

I think 1976 is. It's been on eBay before and has sold. Here's the link to the site which shows past auction results.

Olympic Fan Darcy Posted March 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Well I recieved the Manchester book. Unsure if it's the real deal. I message TNMP before I bought it cause I saw somewhere he said he has/had it. He hasn't replied however. I guess we will find out. $110 isn't too bad if it's the real thing if not oh well.

I already have a Paris one. As for NYC 2012, not worth it for that price. The bid was sloppy at times, especially when the West Side Stadium plan failed.

Olympic Fan Darcy Posted March 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2013 Ridiculous price. I paid $80 total for NYC, Paris $150 both including postage. There the only 2 that seems to pop up. No new ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
