Well, that's me told. I'll just sit quietly in the corner...

Looks foreign to me... Possibly from the Philippines? Certainly not from the time when US comics sold for 12c.

I spotted that. I've noticed it happens fairly regularly. One of the irritating thing about the GCD is the lack of uniformity in some of the more obscure entries. I try to correct them when I notice them, but I don't always have the time.

Ahh..my old stomping ground. I grew up in Springfield. Spent many a distracted hour in the Geppi's in the Crystal City Underground, or at various Jubilee Comic Conventions. Thank you kindly.

Another weirdy one - Brazilian Flash Gordon. Not a great copy, but I'm guessing there aren't many to choose from.

I didn't know I was on the gig. I knew I was off my rocker, but... Plus also, this job alert just popped into my inbox cos I is on their mailing list, innit. Having said that, it's started a couple of gears turning. If I spot anything potentially useful to you, Velma, you can rest assured you'll be the second to know.

Anyone from our little rabbit hole interested in this - Vectis Auctions | It's located on the Northern slopes of Penceland. The "Vintage Toy/Collectibles Expert" sounds like a dream job, to me at least. If I hadn't just started a new job, I'd be like a fat kid on a cupcake with that.

I am indeed. I added the issue skeleton to the GCD a few months back, remembering that I used to have a copy back in the dim and distant past. Where is "around here" btw? Also, can I add your scan to the GCD?

I think I did most of your Marvel UKPVs. And a ton of my own Charltons, but I know you have more. And the Dells.

Took me ages to find this one... on your old post - I'll leave it to you to add the rest of the Archie scans, cos I don't think there are many already present on the GCD.

A pair of Aussie Battles -

A couple more Star Wars variants - Canadian this time. Again, I would have thought there'd be enough of these floating around that someone would pop 'em onto the GCD.

Ok. A couple of easy ones first. These are weirdy ones, I guess, in that they should be thick on the ground (careful now). Star Wars multi-pack non-reprint 35 cent variants. As I said, fairly easy to find. Just try to find a SW1 30 cent non-multi-pack reprint. I've only ever seen one, and I don't really trust the image. Also tough is the SW5 non-multi-pack reprint. Just wasted a half an hour trying to turn one up & found nothing. This is going to be one of the next things I try to quantify: relative scarcity of all of the Star Wars variants.

You know I like a challenge.

Howdy Velma, I'm in, but you'll have to give me a minute. Gotta trawl through my old scans. I've added dozens in the past 4 or 5 years...

"Like a nightclub in the morning..."

"I'll say this for Monty, he keeps a sensational cellar."

Right back at ya, Velma. Been skimming through a bit of this recently, but I've got a new job, so my skive-time is much reduced. I read the Rare Comics article. First rate, as always. Have a good one, mate. And the rest of you (us) nutters! Meet you down the Mother Black Cap. "Two large gins. Two pints of cider. Ice in the cider."

Ha! That was me in 1982, except for the curling the back cover bit. 12 years old and I knew every line of dialogue from Dawn of the Dead. No one in Springfield ever got to watch it because it was always checked out of the Errol's Video to one of my friends or me. Wait... maybe that's what's held me back all these years...

Somebody would. It's over $6000.

No fkakting way!

I agree with all of this. I still collect foreigns when I can get them cheap, but by cheap, I mean pocket change. There is a German one, according to GCD. https://www.comics.org/issue/30562/ And a Dutch, and a Danish, Norwegian, Italian and another UK (reprint this time) to go with your UKPPV. And you're right about treasuries: lovely great big things, when you find them in high grade they're really something special. But try finding decent bags for them. Pain in the hay-ho.

It is indeed, Velma. I'm thinking about it. It falls just outside my "too cool not to own"/"more money than I want to pay" Venn diagram. I'm just too cheap-arse, I guess. I should just buy the bloody thing so I can lock it away and never look at it again. And I probably will...
