Get Marwood & I

Oh, I don't know Albert. Three arms could do a lot for you I think, know worra mean? I'll try anything once. Or thrice, in this case. The 9d there is a regular, and is going to be in one of my glut of forthcoming posts. I've been studying the unbranded 6d and 9d stamps and the unbranded 10d and later decimals. I'm as sure as I can be that they are Millers and T&Ps respectively, based on dates, issues, comparisons to printed equivalents etc. There may be a pretty chart to show, you know.

@Mr Thorpe you might like this one - a 'cancelled price' copy of a South African kind: The original price was 8 1/2 cents and that has been cancelled by a special stamp... ....to be replaced by a 6 cents one: Interesting too to see how far Harveys got around the world - CNA are still going I believe

I clearly need to be clearer with my thread titles

You're very welcome Jeremy

Hello Jeremy and welcome to the CGC boards I think you will stand a greater chance of getting a reply from CGC staff if you post your question here, in the "Ask CGC" forum: https://www.cgccomics.com/boards/forum/23-ask-cgc/ Unfortunately, CGC have set up three different questions forums on the boards: The one we are in now, which is for comic related questions (which is the first appearance of Batman, that kind of thing) The 'Ask CGC' one which is where your procedural / submission type of question best sits And a site technical one which you will find at the foot of the main page I have suggested behind the scenes that a more simplified set up would help as we often see questions being asked in the wrong place which then do not get answered as a result. That's not your fault - with three Q&A forums, one at the top, one at the bottom and one in the middle, its easy to miss them, especially if you are new. I've flagged @Jennifer F. who is one of the admin team whose role includes responding to your type of question and maybe she will pick it up from here. You can also telephone CGC and discuss it with them as sometimes that is easier than an email dialogue, especially when there are follow up questions - the contact numbers can be found here: https://www.cgccomics.com/contact/ Good luck!

Its not a T&P is it... Give me some time....

Very good Robot. I think I can beat that. Give me an hour or so - I'm on Dementia Five duty.... OK, lower in every cents, sorry, sense: Beat that!

I know Judith, keep up woman!

Very good Robot. I think I can beat that. Give me an hour or so - I'm on Dementia Five duty....

Thanks Andy - it's well at home here then

Pristine/Original staples?

Indeed. And Li'l Genius #31 for 23 pence. We're in the money Kev I tell you my son, we're in the money.

Clearly rare then Robot! At least we know its date then now, thanks. I've seen a few T&P stamped outliers now and wonder whether they just somehow found themselves in the system by mistake. But the 3p stamp is a puzzler. What would that have been used for I wonder, given our 5p decimal comic starting point. No other stamped G&Gs to be found, or seen in the past, and no other 3p stamps. Weird. I like it.

I just watched it. They say four of the last five pence WWBN #32 9.4 sales went for over $10k. Maybe the comparative scarcity is finally hitting home?

Got ya. I don't have an iphone but I can see you don't see what I see on my Samsung android phone: My Android Your iPhone Let's hope admin turn up today as Donna indicated with all the answers In the meantime, the answer may be in here: https://browserhow.com/how-to-view-desktop-site-in-chrome-iphone-or-ipad/ Good luck

I put this thread together to explore the distribution of comics in the UK but unexpectedly strayed into the world of magazines, largely as a result of our 'first comic T&P stamp number being an 8' scenario. Something else obviously took up the #1-7 stamps of the first ever stamping round and I've gathered quite a few magazine candidates since. I don't plan to look at them anymore - the salient comic link has been explored and satisfied now - but here is one last post from me on T&P in respect of magazines. The mags themselves are a tad seedy, so avert your eyes if you are easily offended (phwooaaar). Step forward 'Action for Men' numbers 5 (v12) and 5 (v13), from 1968 and 1969 (sixty nine being nicely appropriate to the general theme): Some nice cover art there The points of UK interest are the fact that one copy has a T&P three shilling wigwam sticker... ...but the other has what appears to be a printed (possibly over-printed) three shilling cover price: I have other examples. Images of these magazines are not common online and I haven't been able to find second copies to see if the later book is an effective price variant, i.e. a US only priced copy exists. Quite interesting in a away, but not something I'll explore any further. Nice to know the T&P link though, and to consider that someone out there may be in the process of cataloguing magazine variants. Or maybe not Anyway, I'm off for a good 'read' of these books. I'll be back when they've sorted the board layout problems out, as I have about twenty new pence minutiae things to share. As Shaw Taylor used to say, "Who are you, and why do you keep following me". Or was that "Keep em peeled".....? See ya

Didn't take long - one 1955 reprint, one 1958 and one 1963.

So, here we have it: It's an Australian Gordon & Gotch: There's no date on the comic itself, and no clues in any of the ads or content. Being priced at 15c, it must be after 1966 as pounds were in use up until then I believe. The GCD says 1983 with a question mark: Seems a bit late. Doug Sulipa's site says c1960's: The book reprints the cover to the Harvey Spooky #39, which is dated September 1961: Did anyone notice how many of the Harvey's with the ATV logo at the bottom have a TV shaped white line around their main cover image? That's cool isn't it. Easy to miss. Other Harvey titles are reprinted inside our 3p Spooky, so I'll try to track the dates of those down later to see if they help at all. Anyway, what is a T&P stamp doing on this book? And 3p? I've never seen a decimal price lower than 5p on a comic. So it's an enigma in a number of ways. Let's call The King of Australia and get his thoughts @AJD Here's the back cover by the way: All good fun

Nay: Given the books involved though, that's likely a good thing

This is the CGC board Gino - you might have to lower your expectations a little when it comes to getting responses on things like this. I don't use pinch zoom myself, but on my Samsung phone, using chrome, there are three function dots top right of the browser. If I click those the function menu includes 'Desktop site'. Select that and I get the desk top version which I can then pinch zoom. Does that help at all, while we wait for admin to respond?

So you're saying you don't mind it Ken?
