if you had it they right way displayed, might be nicer to see the quality. Don't think many want to turn there monitor to look. Picts are a turn off, thinking guy can;t get the pics displayed the right way and bugger off

Very nice...

Does remind me of school.

I read the ebay listing and thought they aren't as rare as you think. I could probably get quite a few of those, and others! Most UK schools keep those maps 'in storage', almost afraid to throw them away. They throw computers and laptops away, but old maps, ten a penny ...

OTOH, I might watch yours and see what they fetch ... before I go rooting around ..

That map is mine :smash:

Thanks for the comments - positive or otherwise.

With the volume of watchers it currently has I'm hopeful to get a reasonable price for it.

Pics are an issue but I don't think it detracts too much.

Rare is a subjective word, have you got one? Seen one for sale recently?

Heh, gotta say, at £30 so far it's doing far better than I thought!

I'll have a look in the stockroom later, if I find anything I might take a pic or two .. I'm 99% certain that there are loads of maps in at least on set of cupboards/drawers, maybe 50+ maps, and none been used since I started work here, 12 ish years ago!
