Hi folks,

I've just dug out my childhood Pokémon collection and realised it's almost entirely first print Blue Logo Topps cards.

So far I've found:

- Series 1 Blue Logo collection

- Series 2 Blue Logo collection

- 9 Series 1 holographics

- Several Series 2 holographics

- Character cards

- Episode cards

- 8 of 10 Surfing Pikachu w/Blue Logo

- 2000 Wizards Pokémon League "Legendary Birds" crossword promo

I've also got a stack of the tcg as well as Japanese cards - likely do another post in the near future.

Condition of these is mostly VG with some wear on the corners but no major damage. The Series 2 cards are still pretty crisp. Think I used to take the Series 1 cards in my pocket to school back in the day.

Before I spend time cataloguing or valuing anything, I'd love some opinions from people who collect the Topps series of Pokémon cards

Does anything here stand out?

Is it worth completing the Series 1/2 sets?

Would you sell as a collection or individually?

I've attached photos of the collection. Happy to provide close-ups of any specifics.

I live in a housing association block in Scotland. Our flat overlooks the small garden of a licensed short-term let next door.

For the last 3+ months, it's been occupied by the same group of long-term contractors rather than what I'd consider typical holiday guests. They arrive and leave together in work vans each day and there are usually ~5 or more of them staying there.

The problem is the noise as the garden is used like a pub beer garden most evenings, with people outside smoking, chatting and drinking. More recently, because of the warm weather, they also leave the doors and windows open, so conversations from inside carry straight into our flat.

One particular occupant is outside virtually every morning between around 0530 and 0730 smoking, with very loud prolonged coughing/hawking that regularly wakes us up. He's then back outside throughout the evening as well, usually hammered. It's become quite predictable.

I've started keeping a log of incidents and have submitted a formal antisocial noise complaint to my local council.

I'm reluctant to contact the company that owns the short-term let directly because, after a previous complaint about noisy guests, the owner viewed my LinkedIn profile shortly afterwards, which made me uncomfortable about being identifiable.

A few questions:

- What legal options do I have beyond reporting it to the council?

- Is this something Environmental Health would normally investigate?

- If it's a licensed short-term let, can repeated noise issues amount to a breach of the licence conditions?

- Is there any benefit in contacting the employer of the contractors, or should I leave that well alone?

I'm trying to deal with this properly rather than losing my patience and shouting out the window at 0530 like a numpty every morning.

Thanks in advance!

Found my childhood 1999 Topps Blue Logo collection - worth cataloguing?

Ongoing noise nuisance from licensed short-term let. What are my options? (Scotland)
