I love it when I get one, but in the main they tend to look like they've been trampled by a stampede of angry voles. Led by Fury of course. He's a trouble maker that one. My interest as you know is to try and prove that all 833 possible pence copies exist. Condition is secondary to that, but I do love a tight glossy one.

Must say, I've never enjoyed collecting as much as I do today. All these crummy old variants that I categorise, that few if any care about, give me more pleasure than any of my previous comic collecting phases. Today in the post I got a Gold Key Pink Panther UKPV, a Ghost Manor CPV and what might be a new DC pence variant (subject to research). And I just won an Archie 35cv and scanned an Archie 15cv from a previous box diving trip. And I received some old distribution data which makes interesting reading when compared to the existence of Marvel UKPVs. I could wallow in it for hours. Actually, I do wallow in it for hours. Good time to be mucking about with comics. Larryw7, porcupine48, rakehell and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am pretty much complete with GK apart from the cartoon stuff, no idea how many pence, never even considered it tbh, when my room is uncovered again, its the first thing I will check, I always loved GK, the covers were great but the inside art could be a let down Get Marwood & I, porcupine48 and Ken Aldred 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was debating about this one myself, though I've always bent more towards the Twilight Zone type stuff. I'd love a set of the Dell Outer Limits. porcupine48 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post bobotski Posted February 7, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted February 7, 2020 (edited) eBay acquisitions. If you are boardies here, thank you. Back from CGC Reholder. I chose the older 2019 Hulk label but came back with the smash one, guess they ran out of the old label. Initially had the microchamber paper obliquely showing.
