The ones I treated myself to above, must have worked out at £30-£40 each with shipping. Forties and fifties range. Had some Spidey ones and the winter Olympics one if I remember correctly. And one of the Spidey vs Supes ones. There were two versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And one I wish I had kept. Those are killer! Never seen them. And great condition as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like all treasuries, pence and cents.

I did have all the ones with Spidey in back during the completist years, but they were all cents copies. I gathered these images from eBay etc during the pence research. I've done the same for DC, but haven't gotten round to posting them yet. Looking at your name, is that batmiesta as in Batman, or Bronze Age Treasuries?

wormboy Posted February 11, 2018 Author Share Posted February 11, 2018 Hey thanks for those links! That seller has some really nice copies. I guess I didn’t realize I had to go to the UK eBay to look. Other counties pop up in my searches, but these never have? Anyway, I might need to go ahead and pay the $40 shipping to get a nice one (and hope it makes it safe). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always go to ebay.co.uk when you're looking for UK stuff. Often, sellers stuff that is listed as worldwide postage doesn't show on .com.
