That's actually illegal, Kev.

Yeah, this thread should have been inclusive and allowed books of all currency 

I just looked I have 64 GK books scanned so far and not a single one is a UK PV

There's loads that I didn't notice at the time.  A great one for UK covers is MWOM #129.  Steranko's original artwork made the Hulk look so psychotic with rage that Romita toned it down for KS Special #1, but we got Steranko's original. 

Aw man, thats just great, as a completist, you are killing me

OK, I'm throwing this one out to the group.....Cap & Iron Man are from Avengers #4, but where does Thor come from?  Looks like Kirby inked by Colletta, so probably an interior panel from their Silver Age run on JIM/Thor?  Anyone? Anyone? 

I have had all of the above comics that you compare since I was a kid and I have to say, I didnt notice any of this

You are way more observant than me  

Battle Cry #1 British reprint followed by Aussie Reprint thats exactly the same but different  

I still need the original US Battle Cry #18, I hate being a completist sometimes

Further to the previous examples, two 10d T&P stamped 10d UKPVs, and two shilling stamped cents:

Assuming the bottom left stamp is a shilling, of course. Hard to tell sometimes...

So I'm not the only collector that has some Charlton books.

Nope, you are not, Charltons

It's bad enough having boxes of Charlton UKPVs in the first instance, but two boxes of duplicates?

Hoarder

Oh man so check this out - I bought these from a seller in the UK, and asked if they combined shipping.  They said yes and here’s what arrived in the mail.  How could I be happier than with a uk seller who sends cash and sends dollars?

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

This thread needs more pics! 

Probably the best $$$ spent during my entire life: $84 for 30 pre-code Atlas from the as-yet-unnamed Edgar Church collection.  Saturday, Feb 25, 1978, at a very small, sparsely-attended comic show in Sacramento (I don't think a single person visited Chuck's booth the entire time I was there).  At that point in my life, $100 was essentially every penny I had (otherwise, I would have spent more), and I valued quantity over quality (hence, my preference for the less expensive, mid-grade specimens).  I ended up selling the crime issues to a fellow collector and having most of the horror issues certified.

Whoa

There's a T&P / Miller distribution summary here Albert (as well as my summary on page 1 of this thread):

Here's my #1

Yeah, normally from the US is 5 -10 days, however, I have had stuff from the US in as little as 3 days, worst was when covid was on and the tracking showed my package in Japan 

Then after a few months it showed up out of the blue in perfect nick
