So they ignored the cover price and put their 6P stickers on both? Thats strange.

Not really Shad. Back in the day it was a fairly normal practice to pop a pence price on a cents priced UK distributed book.

Did the fifteen-cent variants have the same British price stamps on them? 

A good number of the 15cvs that I have seen have 6p UK price stamps of various descriptions but mostly concentrated around one style. There are some 6p stickered examples too.

Years from now boardies will remember where they were when Steve announced that he had found a Spooky #130 15c PV. 

Mind you, that's not so hard - "I was in my mom's basement" is the answer to most of those.

True, true....

It really is time you got you're own place Andy 

A new one, hooray! 

As expected, a Spooky #130 has finally graced our presence as a fifteen cee vee. Whoopee!

Here he be, that fifteen cee vee, with his 25c cousin, see? 

They live with me.

That's a reely good cover, isn't it

It completes the Spooky set of three and takes us up to 34 confirmed 15cvs:

The 15cv and 25c both have a regular indicia by the way so May continues to have a split of regular and variant indicias. More on that another time.

Into the Spooky box he goes....

When the Spooky box will return, nobody knows....

I've heard it said that you love a good doodle Steve.

Ahhh! 🤷‍♂️😀 the joys of  collecting comic books!!…..the nuance makes so little sense! But we love it! 😂😂

We do

Indeed 👍

Thought so. I just updated the journal list above to 1,338 as I forgot to add the last two Barbies (topical!) that I posted in the discussion thread. I haven't been looking much lately if I'm honest. Have you found anything new?

I assumed as much - totally sound reasoning - hovered they do fill out the gaps rather well!  I am especially fond of my X-Force #2 (stickered) I came across in a collection recently - I’d given up on ever finding a salve for  that particularly annoying itch! 😂😂 still there, but greatly reduced!😀

You posted the GR/Blaze #13 with the AUS $3.80 price as well, didn't you?

On 8/1/2023 at 8:31 PM, AusBooks said:

I was wondering - what’s the standing of stickered $AUS price books? Such as this one for example? I count them as part of my personal Aussie book collection as they were clearly intended to be released as such, but what’s the consensus? 

Hello 

I cover books like these in the discussion thread. I agree with you that the books are clearly intended to be AUS editions, but I only count books with an AUS related printed difference myself:

Stickers can be 'manufactured' after all, and it wouldn't take much for anyone to replicate the scenario below on any date range book:

I'm not in charge though - other collectors may happily include them in the figures and it wouldn't trouble me one jot if they did.

So...  is it a comic or a book?  Comicbook?  Bookcomic?

It's a dumbbell bannered comic, Yoz 

Here's a new Streamline that I picked up last year for those that manage to find this post:

I love the colouring 

That's the 26th known copy now. Well, to me anyway.

This thread was so cool to view. The detail on the research and the high grade copies both impressed.

Cheers Sean 

I did manage to obtain a 15c copy of Audrey #102 in the end in fairly reasonable shape. These books are very hard to come by though, I'm discovering, even over here in the UK where my research indicates they were distributed. You have to take them in whatever grade they come.

I quite like that cover

I just want you all to know if these were Marvels, they would all be worth 4-5 figures.

 

Indeed. I don't think I'll be making any significant contribution to the retirement fund with these! 

They're fun to chase down though and for me, fun is what it's all about. I mean, when you find a one and six L Miller stamp on a Harvey - the only one I've ever seen in 5 years - the world nearly ends:

Well, it does for me anyway. ROAR!

BUT NOW LOOK!!

That one post was enough to put it in the lead!

For those that don't have ad-block, yes! 

On 5/2/2023 at 8:40 PM, Yorick said:

But I think I "liked" it more than a year ago. 

You did! You and three others stand proud from the other 2,283 that couldn't be bothered!

On 5/2/2023 at 8:40 PM, Yorick said:

BIG Congratulations! 

Aww, shucks 

Four years, 2,287 views and four likes later, my first DC Journal comment finally lands!

Thank you @Yorick!

On 5/2/2023 at 8:24 PM, Yorick said:

I feel that my Future-Journal of L Miller books will be met with the same.  Maybe a thread instead?

Definitely. The Journals have no visibility. I might have mentioned that once or seventy times.

You've a link on the Boards' main page today....  anything interesting happening here? 

 

 

Oh.  Harvey.

Narrowly edges Charlton for the lack of interest title, Yoz

Can one still subscribe to your newsletter?

That likely would be the overall number, yes.

I don't yet have a 25c copy of the other #54, Little Dot Dotland, but a kindly eBay seller sent me this image which shows that the 15c indicia is not present:

 

It turns out that the kindly eBay seller didn't understand my 11th page explanation, as my just arrived 25c copy of Dotland #54 does in fact have the variant indicia on the relevant wrap:

Consequently, I believe the issue should now exist as a 15c variant and I've marked it accordingly on the tracking sheet:

So both the September 54's are now 15cv likelys but both remain stubbornly absent, proving once again how the Universe likes a 'messing with your head' research coincidence.

I have some more 15cv stuff to post here but seeing as no one at Invision or CGC wants to solve the journal visibility issues, and no one noticed I'd stopped posting in them, I won't bother!

All good fun.

Sorry, I don’t know what this means

Richard, thehumantorch has 'tagged' CGC Mike as he works for CGC and, as well as managing the forum here, he often helps members with issues like the one you have described above. He's on holiday for a week now though so won't respond for at least that period. You clearly have already spoken to CGC agents on the phone so the only other thing I can suggest is that you post your question again in the 'Ask CGC' forum which you will find here:

https://boards.cgccomics.com/forum/23-ask-cgc/

CGC customer service staff like @MattM CS and @NickiO CS review that forum and they may be able to help you there, if indeed they don't respond directly to the tags I've just made here. Good luck.

Wow all fantastic research here, this is a deeper can of worms than I was expecting.

I know! Have you seen this? 

https://www.comicbookdaily.com/collecting-community/whites-tsunami-weca-splashes/weca-checklist/

My interest here was focussed on establishing whether there were any UK Price Variants among these books but it's an interesting avenue in itself and others have clearly gone into much greater depth.

That Jeep comics cover is particularly great, beautiful colouring!
