I've got some stuff going on which is taking up most of my time but I can see light at the end of the tunnel.

Sometimes a light at the end of the tunnel is just some b*****d with a torch bringing you more work. :insane:

That's about 80% of the last sale.  Was it a good looking 5.0?

They're all good looking gadzukes :headbang:

I got this in the post today - a nice surprise after a long day on the road:

70.thumb.jpg.10f841ccb61a02907aa8feac1adce6dc.jpg

 

It's the first pence copy I've ever seen, and the first book on the missing list I've ticked off since the middle of last year. So we now have 3,008 confirmed pence books :headbang:

I know some of you think I only post westerns here. That's because a lot of the titles on the missing list are westerns! This is what it looks like now:

I think the remaining three Gunsmokes exist (69, 71 and 73):

Two appear on this old list for a UK comic shop:

So I hope they turn up one day.

Here's the inside with the T&P addition:

I love the pence books from this age - they have the three differences - the T&P indicia wording, the price and the missing cover month:

Choice! :headbang:

Congrats on the GW #70. You can't keep a good pence copy down!

Cheers Harry! I can't believe how rare that book is. Our kind of grade too, eh!? :wink:

I found this online recently, regarding the handwritten issue number on TGK #60:

I've only ever seen handwritten versions, never a 'properly' printed one - has anyone else?

Here's my one again (any excuse):

I just googled and found this. A handwritten 60 with a printed month.

Yes, the cents version has a printed month but still a handwritten issue number. The suggestion is (and I've seen it noted a few times down the years) that there is a mechanically printed issue number copy. If there is, I've never seen one, cents or pence.

I couldn't find any with a printed number other than the modern reprints.

Pedants Corner : I've just noticed that they have missed out an apostrophe in the blurb at bottom left.

Oh yeah. No wonder Nancy despises the TGK. Missing an apostrophe out like that is unforgiveable!

It looks a bit too high grade for you, I think you should give it to me. :p

 

I would, but it appears to be the only one on the planet Harry so I'm forced to keep it. :grin:

What's happening in your neck of the woods. Anything exciting to report? You've been proper quiet and everything lately.

Well, I haven't bought any more low grade pence copies. :(

Sometimes I like to go into my forum shell for a bit, storing up energy for some more misguided and irrelevant journalistic reviews. lol

I understand. Some quiet time away helps doesn't it. As for your reviews, they're neither misguided or irrelevant Harry. So stop slacking and go buy something. Or I'll send you some low grade Charlton spares to review (thumbsu
