Oct. 31 Days of Fright: post your HALLOWEEN-esque Covers

Sweet. Back in the days before ebay and paypal, I used to buy from the US all the time. I used to go to the travel agent and change my pounds into dollars and send the dollars in a greeting card to disguise it, did this for years and always arrived safely. I still have a random drawer with about 100 dollars in as sometimes you would get the books with a discount and they would send dollars back , they are not legal tender here so just accumulated in the drawer and I never got around to changing them over.

I have only ever come across 2 issues of Rex in the wild here in the UK, in fifty years. #24 & #38 Certainly a tough title to collect and all seem pretty scarce to me Yours is definitely nicer than mine. 6.5 at least

What are the top 5 Pedigree’s in your opinion?

There is no duty but it doesnt stop Border force seizing maybe 1 in 5 of everything I have coming in, even though the commodity code is clearly written. I always claim and get a refund but before you even know its seized, Parcel Force bail it out and you have to pay their fees under ransom of they will return it to sender and you have just paid 100 quid to ship it, so have no choice but to pay them and then claim, then they can charge up to about 20 quid for their service, you can claim that back too but its a lengthy process, so far so good this year, but I havent been buying that much. They also always blame the sender, I usually get a pic of the package before sent and there is nothing at all wrong with it. If anyone has their package seized, send me a PM and I will give you info on what to do. Notice how there is no telephone number, email address or public counter for Border Force. I am sure that some people just pay it and its going straight in someones pocket as fiddle. F$@cking Bastiches!!!!

Low Grade Trimmed...Less Stigma on GA Books?
Kevin.J replied to Dr. Balls's topic in Golden Age Comic Books
Yep, a trimmed copy is the only affordable way for some of us and tbh, for me I would rather have something lovely and presentable, than something hanging to bits for the same price. Each to their own though, its all good and whatever scratches the itch -
Bought a Cents copy to go with my Pence copy, went to put it away and found 2 cents copies already there

A few months ago I went into FP here for the first time in maybe 3 years and asked for silver & golden age backing boards, they said they dont carry things like that, I got the impression that the dude didnt even know what I meant For balance I went to the Travelling man next door and they didnt have any either, said they had been waiting for the supplier for about 2 years to get them in again, I said you need a new supplier, he laughed and said yeah There is really no point in me going to these type of shops anymore, no back issues, no storage supplies, just toys and games stuff, no thanks. I came out the shop and noticed a new shop across the road "Comic book store and cafe" sounds great right? went in, couldnt see any comics asked the dude serving tea & coffee where the comic stuff was and he points me to a tiny rack of about 50 old graphic novels Had to buy the backing boards on ebay and pay crazy postage
