MMmmmm. And the Miller stamps are both 6d's which makes it look like they both got sent back to the wrong distributor but then re-priced and sent back out anyway, because....why wouldn't you?

I note 70 is a 1 but 74 is still only a 2.  The usual DC chaos. 

Indeed.

Just found this in an old box. Strangely, it completely failed to have a long forgotten copy of ASM #1 in it. 

What do you notice about this?  (Let's not always see the same hands).

How well the in-laws took a photo back in the day?

You get extra points for making a Sid James - Bless This House - type era-appropriate gag.

The seller of this item (Action # 317) on ebay says it is a rare version, not the usual 10d one.

Probably true, all the other stamped copies on ebay right now are 10d ones, but here is one I got locally recently:

Also an 8d stamped copy of # 430.

And Ethel has positioned the stamp on both the #317s within a couple of microns of each other. That's what years of experience can do for you.

The prices changed from 9d to 10d around that issue with the majority being 10d.

 

The linked copy is the one I have saved in the files, so it must have been on eBay for yonks.
