Get Marwood & I

I think you meant that for Mr HG, Lord B

It must have been difficult for him at times, with everyone likely wanting to talk about the one thing he didn't. You need to meet people, I think, to have a full picture of what they are like as people. So much gets lost in translation on the printed page and once you form a 'voice' in your head for them, you read everything they say in that voice and it could be miles off in tone and intent. I'd love to have met him.

What was he like, in person?

There's two above - I just added a second called "I shook SD's Hand Today" - is that it?

State of that!

Oh dear. I've said this before, a perfect CGC submission and resulting slab is a wonderful thing with many positive attributes to commend it. But when it goes wrong, it's awful. Basically, a grading company, charged with protecting your precious items, irreparably damages them instead. If third party grading companies didn't exist, and someone told you they were planning to put comics in sealed plastic holders with a little wiggle room around the edges, then post them around the world, every alarm bell in your head would start ringing. And yet that is exactly what CGC have done, and people submit to them day in day out. When it works, it's brilliant. When it doesn't - well, you know how that feels, alas. Sorry this happened to you Geeks.

That's a shame - far too much room for movement in that holder from the looks of it. It makes you wonder what they think is going to happen, when the book is inevitably manhandled through the postal system. I have a 9.8 ASM just like it - too much room in the inner well, innards moved and it's ruined.

You're saying that's not the right spelling? No wonder my copies sold cheap

I suppose the argument would be that filtering reduces sales possibilities, but a 'don't show me this item / sellers items again' would be great, wouldn't it.

The USA one, I take it?

Roger that, Reggie! I've said this a million times, but the day I saw the originals of ASM 176-180 hanging up in Rodney's in Barking, as a kid who thought the UK weekly reprints were all there was, is one of my enduring and happiest comic memories. That and when me and my brother found a load of comics on a spinner wrack on holiday in Great Yarmouth. The best times

Charton, Chalton, Charelton, Charleton, Charleston, Chaton, Chepstow..... I've won copies in every category!

Always ensure you have maximum carpet visibility and a dirty jean stain in your annual listings

I prefer his brother. Ralph.

According to this Facebore commenting canine, the Yanks are cleaning up! Funny name for a dog, isn't it.

Another good gap / hiatus proving run from the Red Elephant on the Bay. A needlessly stamped 10d UKPV #149 and then the expected Goldstar stamped cents #151:

Four Red & White Kirby Westerns

Cor, look at that.... Just out of my price range by around two hundred and seventy nine thousand dollars, but a boy can dream, can't he....?

I was going to respond with a picture of Steady Eddie, but Google's primary example must've been added during a Hurricane...
