Get Marwood & I

Cor, that's lovely I used to have a copy - here's a scan of the label I made for it: I think I saw an additional three separate copies on my travels - two on eBay, and one at Heritage I think. So it doesn't crop up that often. There is a market for error copies like this and I sold mine for quite a bit more than the amount a standard copy would fetch at the time. I would expect CGC to make a note of it, should you submit it, but I suspect you'd have to agree that with them first. I've since graduated to this alternative pence copy. Issue #5 was clearly an error prone issue!

They were worth much more too, the last time I looked. Your copy looks lovely. I never managed to get a stickered one before abandoning ASM completism many years ago, but here are my old two copies, one slabbed, one with a very unsuccessful sticker removal attempt. Clearly the previous owners did not know what they had....

I know I said I was going to pick one up each month but I couldn't resist this one because it has a Thorpe & Porter price sticker on it: Two of my favourite things - PKD books and T&P distribution evidence

Is there a 1974 setting on that thing?

Nice. It's so hard to find any of those Beetles and Blondies with white background covers. They're almost always dingy looking.

Not too deep Reggie. They float, you know...

Of course. Nor pushed, filed, indexed, briefed, debriefed, or numbered.

What if it was none of those things though... What then?

Kev spotted this stamp riot on the bay...

@Albert Tatlock I think this is up to date now. I do a full sweep every so often but not for a while now. Check your copies!

I made a similar observation here Robot, albeit on a Len free copy. Check my other threads for my 6d/9d Miller theory - this one is just to show off horses I've read it, and they're all lies. Rumour is that The Horse of The North wrote it under a pseudonym.

Yes, sorry, I'll have a go later Albert. I think it needs an update.

Snap! I think I mentioned earlier in the thread that I used to own a nice, full run of PKD books and that I regretted letting most of them go. Inspired by Eric's thread, I've decided to add a nice book once a month to what remains of my small collection. I'm hoping to read them too, and that will be for the first time in 30 or so years. I thought I'd start with this one, which came today. I like the way the spine dispenses with Philip and K, and just proclaims the remainder in vivid red. Quite appropriate really. It's getting quite hard to find new comics to buy lately, so it will be nice to reopen another old avenue of collecting. See you in a month!

You'd bet as much as fifty pence I had a root around myself to see if I could find anything Reggie. When you think how many references there are - Hudson Street, Day Line Tours, West Side Dock, the elevated motorway - you think you'd be able to find something. The best I could find was aerial images of the piers, but nothing that matched Ross's layout.
