Hi everyone sorry for my delay on coming back on here to answer any questions I think what I am going to do from now on is come on every Monday morning and answer any questions on here.
It's not that I havent been on here on purpose I have just been extremely snowed under and I just forgot and I know thats no excuse so for that I am sorry.
I know how important it is to you guys to know whats happening and that you have lots of questions alot of you know me personally in the collecting world and have met me many times, so some of you know what has been happening anyway.
Below I will give you a heads up on what has been happening at UKG from late last year to this year.
To start with I didnt deal with the website for UKG, when we first started in 2008 the website was built by a friend of ours who was all up for coming in with UKG basically to cut a long story short I was getting fed up of the Archive not being updated,price list,Q+A,Main page and the order form I was constantly on the phone trying to sort things out, but I think the guy lost interest in doing it! Because I would ask for things to be updated and they never would be.
With us being a new business we couldnt afford to get a computer tech guy to help us with the website so I took it upon myself this year to take over the website and within the last few months there has been massive changes on the site, the archive was stook on 800 and now I have typed up to 1958, as well as new Archives being added and changes to the main page and just basically updating things, I am not a tech guy by any means but I am learning with it all the time and I feel I have done more in the last 3 months than our other guy had done in 3 years.
Also if you havent noticed on the website there have been changes for "U" grading now.
Also some of you know with us being a fairly new business there are 4 of us in total at UKG 2 of which are part time and just give us their outside opinion on grades and case items up.
I work 24/7 on UKG and consider myself the face of the company really, I am the guy to moan at(haha) and I am the guy to help out.
We are looking to take someone on full time to become our senior grader who will take that side of the job off me so I can consentrate on the rest of the side to the company.
A few of you who know me well also know we had problems with the company who made our cases, From the begining we said that we would purchase the machines as we went along which we have been doing over the last 6 months, we now have the unit fully kitted out with everything and we have poached one of the plastic guys to show us the inns and outs of it all so all case production now will be in house so there shouldnt be any delays.
Also you have probably noticed the labels have been changed which has bumped up the orders from the U.K and they have been getting a really positive response.
I know theres loads to read there and I apologise for any spelling/grammer errors.
I will log in every Monday morning and check back if you have any personal questions before that please email me at
