I think you’ll need a bit more than that as it is a reserve auction. No telling what the reserve is. I hate reserve auctions.

Oh yeah. Bah! I hate them too. If they won't sell it for less than, say,

Incidentally Mr A, does it annoy you when people refer to you as Mr * rather than Mr ASTERIX?  Perhaps you should put the little Gaul on your avatar.  After all, he was the Bond of 55 BC.  And Vitalstatistix (Abraracourcix en Francais) was M and Getafix (Panoramix) was Q.  And didn't Sean Connery appear in one of the stories as an agent with a gadget-filled chariot?

Actually I started the Mr* as my Mister Asterix is named for a character in my fan fiction. Here’s how the character explains it:

Of course he was, it was in "Odysee" (that's what it's called in Germany). He has that chariot that unfolds like Little Nelly, self-destructing letters and a fly as a messenger (who falls in love with him ). Haven't read that one for years. I'll see if I can find it anywhere in the vault, check it for references and provide some scans (if I'm allowed to).

Always wondered if you took the name from the cartoon or if you had another reason, Mr. A. Now I know.

Mr* and/or Mr Asterix is much better than "The Big A."

Yes, Sean Connery appeared in that comic book. He was called in the french version Double "0" six.
And I have a friend who created a character for a role playing game in celtic world who was a spy and he called him "Sean Connerix".

Of course for a change Bond is wrong here and obviously isn't the amazingly well-read spy we thought he was: Asterix was a Gaul who fought the Vikings. Silly James, must try harder.

You'll definitely need more than a ton, it's currently at 255.50 and the reserve still ain't been met!

If I had that I wouldn't sell it. It's amazing what people will sell just to get a bit of money. I bet if he waits about 15 years he could get about three times as much.

"Asterix was a Gaul who fought the Vikings."
In one book only yes, but in all the other books Asterix fight against romans.

Oh, now we expect Bond to be an expert on comics, too.

Blimey! That auction's passed
