I think it was even before my Dandy & Beano days, I didnt know what an American comic was yet

I have a couple of long boxes full of Dynamic forces signed books from the 90s, some nice sigs in there, were useless until now, if ever I could be bothered Not sure how many CGC Green labels I have but lets say a few

I had just been speed reading it earlier but got bored and gave up, I do have some books I would like done but I doubt I ever will at this point really.

Now that CGC are going into unwitnessed verification, I may just send my #31 in for whatever label they put on an unwitnessed but verified book. I really hope its not yellow as that would weaken the Yellow Label program.

I was about 8 or 9 at decimalisation, I do remember old money though, I just never got me mitts on much of it There's an old story that I found a old pound note in a puddle and showed my Dad, he said do you want that dirty old bit of paper or this lovely shiny sixpence, guess what I wanted

Couple of months later "Lets try 8p again, I hate losing all those 2ps to greedy kids"

Back to 6p, they couldnt get 8p ?

Thats a bargain, someone increased the price to 8p for mine

Giving my age away here, but I was a paperboy when Happy Days was a hit TV show, my pal and I would time picking our rounds up just as the show started, the girl in the shop would ask us to watch the shop while she went in the back to watch it. We pocketed the money of anything we sold and scoffed more sweets than should have been possible for an 11 year old kid. Also all the comics I delivered I kept and read overnight before I delivered them the next day. Yeah, paperboy, the best job I ever had

Not at the time but I wasnt satisfied with the copy I had so upgraded a few times over the years, I never sell anything so maybe ended up with half a dozen or so copies

I have TWE 1-4, I will go and check the splash pages as its not a cover of any of those issues. I am back - I just had a quick flip through those issues and its not from any of these books The search goes on...

I have a few Rex but only have the first issue scanned, they are tough books to find in the UK.

You really dont want me to start caring about stamps, do you ? Laurel & hardy are the greatest comedy duo of all time, one of the few things that still makes me laugh. Things I found funny when I was a kid, even up to just a few years ago just doesnt do it anymore, but Laurel & hardy never gets old for me.

I just had a quick look at my Harvey's, most of my collection is too old to fit the criteria and I only have 71 books scanned, a couple have stamps but alas not T&P

I would have liked those too, but not at those prices, I dont care about the stamps. I thought I was the only person collecting IW. Whats going on ?

I hate it when the picture is someone holding the comic and his finger nails are rotten, no chance of me buying that, puts me right off Or even worse you can see his cheesy feet in the photo, yuk Ebay is minging.

Charlton did love a Hot Rod

Yeah, I have been known to have a couple of duplicates

Well some people think thats all they are good for

She knows what to do with my, I mean your Charltons

I would agree, go with a proper Auctioneer, never a dealer offer. Anderson and Garland sold the Ian Penman collection for a supposed 500k+ that was just a mid sized collection with a lot of missing keys and no Golden age books, the thing it did have was great publicity, I saw it on the national and local news a few times, thats the key to a nice sale, I think, nerds around the world Ian Penmans sister knew nothing about comics, imagine she rang Silver Acre first, Darryl would have made what seemed like a sweet offer to her I am sure I have spoken to John Anderson a couple of times about my missus cashing when I am gone, she knows nothing at all about values despite living surrounded by comics for 25 years

I was a paperboy who couldnt afford comics, so someone got their comics a day late as I read them overnight and delivered them the next day, there I have admitted it Okay, okay, I read Jackie, Bunty & Mandy too

Nah, I have had it years. The only FF book I have tried to upgrade in recent years is FF 49 from a local auction house (lesson) never bid without seeing for yourself in hand, especially if its partially obscured
