Yeah! Collectors collect in many different ways, I only buy HG stuff because I want to be happy when I look at it, so the term low grade is better than no grade is wasted on me, but that's just how I collect, it would be fairly pants if we all collected the same way.

I guess so, but it stops me from paying $4500 for a $600 book, which would be an even bigger disappointment .

Don't have any mush, refused to do it, I have a price I am willing to pay for a book and when it goes past, bollocks to it, another one will come along sometime.

The bloke that paid $4500 for a copy of this during the comic boom must be pretty pissed.

60 HG magazines?

What did you get it for? If you don't mind my asking, no worries if you do, and I was strutting around like a banty myself with my win.

You need to get out more.

Me and my big mouth.

One of my favorite's ever since I bought a beat up copy at a Blackpool market when I was on holiday in the 70's.

I think it's like a card cover TPB sort of book, but not 100% sure.

Hers a copy I sold to my old pal Bladak, rarely shows up in this condition.

The UK weekly version used this as the cover to #1 and like most UK # 1's at the time it came with a free poster, the US version did not.

Greggy's got loads of them, but then again, he's got loads of everything. The annual is very hard to find in nice shape and the magazines themselves are tough too due to being paper covers.

Why would anyone buy this book? Let alone pay those crazy prices for it.

This cover is a classic compared to most of the other sh!te in this thread.

What did you get?

This book went for double GPA, thought I had a chance at it but got blown out. $2150

Will do, and thanks. There is a copy in the latest Clink auction too, thought this one looked much nicer though even with the cack label, it will be interesting to see what that one goes for.

Managed to snag this beauty from comiconnect last night for well below GPA, not crazy about the custom label though.

This was around the time I had set up an advance order through Bob Smart, as these were not distributed in the UK at the time, those were the days.

Yes.

This is a great looking copy.

Yeah! Me too.
