In the days when the year 2000 was unimaginably far away, when I was eight or nine years old, my brother and I collected the 2000AD comic.
We had pretty much all the issues from 200 on when I saw an advert in the local shop declaring the sale of the first one hundred and fifty, from issue one, for a ridiculously low price.
Adrian and I picked the comics up from two young brothers. But their father telephoned that evening and said that they had made a mistake and asked to reverse the deal. My father felt sure that there was no going back on the deal. I thought that we should, it was obviously a mistake in some sense of the word, but I kept my mouth shut because I was really happy to have an almost-complete collection.
