Get Marwood & I

Frontline, Streamline - we'll all be snorting a line at this rate.

That's a good shout - I've got a few of those stickers in the comic files. I never knew who they were but, again, the volumes weren't prolific enough to warrant reporting anything. If the first S is Seymour, what could the B.S. stand for then? Actually, don't answer that

OK. CGC appear unwilling to explain the circumstances under which microchamber paper is used. Maybe I am misunderstanding this, but I always thought there was a general expectation in the community that the answer should be "at all times" - certainly for books of a certain age. Read into it what you will.

Are you sure it was "November 1966" that you typed, to bring that up Robot? I've not heard of them myself. Maybe Richmond has come across them in his distribution deep dive.

Another day, another thread that calls into question the integrity of CGC's working practices. There are a finite number of reasonable scenarios here (in general, not specific to the OPs case): The submitter did not include the magazine on purpose, in an attempt to defraud CGC The submitter did not include the magazine in error The magazine was taken out of the parcel by an unknown third party after it was sent, and before it reached CGC The magazine was in the parcel, CGC missed it, and it is still in the parcel (re Vintage Roy's scenario) The magazine was in the parcel and CGC have lost it To protect themselves and the customer, CGC tell us that they film the opening of packages. They tell @Ghostzapper - a member here for 14 years - that they have reviewed the video and that it was not there. To stand any chance of retaining credibility, they must show Ghostzapper that video evidence. Ghostzapper - I'm sorry to hear of your recent troubles and I hope this gets resolved quickly and to your satisfaction.

Yes, another one of those effort vs reward scenarios. I don't feel inclined to go beyond adding to this personally: But who knows... God help us.

@Kevin.J Kev. Kev. KEV! There's a Fly Club here, mate

Your flies are undone

Welcome to Fly Club I have a few Fly Man examples saved in the files. They have an assortment of different UK stamps and stickers, starting with Gold Star, so we could still get our grubby mitts on them once Thorpe & Porter buzzed off. Are they your copies, in the photo array?

I'm one of the two current eBay watchers. It's only the 3rd oblong I've seen on a Gold Key. There are a few of the shilling circles ones too, but their overall presence is less than prolific. That shilling circle vs 10d oblong dual presence is a funny one, isn't it.

Thanks boys

Bump!

Alright? Welcome to Fly Club, your home for all things Fly. The Fly first flew in the June 1959 dated Double Life of Private Strong number one - here's my copy - sorry about the big Thorpe & Porter UK price stamp: And here he is, inside, in his first two page Fly feature: BUY IT! TRY IT! You'll buy it again, if you do Those that did, did so in this, the first Fly in his own Kirby covered Adventures Of - sorry about the big Thorpe & Porter UK Price Stamp again: Most of the Flys were distributed in the UK, happily, if you were around at the time and buzzing - here's just a few that I have collected over the years with those tell tale UK stamps: We in the United States of Kingdom even got a solitary Fly with UK printed price - issue - here's my nicest one: And here's two more, for the purposes of showing off: Anyway, got any Flys on ya? No? Well buzz off then.

Not at all, Mike. I'm sure everyone is happy to wait, and are probably off doing something else without giving it a second thought....

In my minds eye, I can see her mucking about with Ethel, stamping it to the beat of a record on the wireless. Sha-kin'-all-o-ver! That last stamp, as you say - bang!

That's probably what the 'then again....' meant This'll make you laugh - my latest Charlie arrival, courtesy of a drowned Rat Pat and his skin soaked cat Not one... Not two... Not three... Not four... But five Tee and Pee nine dee price stamps, ah-ha-ha-ha-hah! "Zat is truly out of zis vorld!"

We've wasted our lives, Rich, dabbling outside the circle, being where others are not, flying in the face of popular interest. Then again....

Morning It's a rainy night in Blighty today boys. In fact, I believe, that it's raining all over the Englandville. For those that failed to notice - or 'everybody', as we prefer to call them - yesterday was our 7th anniversary on the CGC comic forum. Seven years of Marwood and I..... Well, six if you ignore Sparky's brief tenure (which most people either did or, quite rightly, aspired to. Including us). It seems much longer, but in a another way, not that long at all. Or maybe somewhere in the middle. Lot's of reversed avatars have been used over those years, before our Cynthia was settled upon. Here are but a few: Looking back, I suppose I've added quite a bit towards the wider understanding of UK Price Variants, what exists, and their distribution in the UK since I've been rattling away here. And a few other things too, to be fair, mostly of a variant nature. We do like a variation, being one ourselves. I could do an achievement list, but that would be a touch vulgar, don't you think? Marwood says "No, it's what every other fer in the hobby does". Anyway, is there another seven years in the tank, I wonder...?* "We shall see" *In the name of all that is Holy, please NO!

Yes, that's the eBay copy Paq posted - quite clearly a marker pen line when you zoom in (hence my tongue in cheek response to 'go find another'). Indeed. I'm not sure what Donuts intervention was all about - it's not like him to misread something of a variant nature - but to end the thread on a clear note, not one person has told me that they knew of the existence of the second Spidey head ASM #320 Direct Edition before I posted about it. Indeed, if it was news to Metarog, I know it's a good find! Happy hunting, all you Spidey completists out there

I got 3 bullseyes and was one grade each off the other two books for a total of 2 points this round. A nice way to celebrate my 7th anniversary on the boards I think that leaves me on 12 points so far - if I can come in on or under 20 - a one point average difference - I'll be very happy.

Well, it is Halloween. I think I've got it now. I was looking at the shade as the character, not the light. I can't remember his name though. bc will know it.

Not in your pumpkin, he's at the window

I can see Fin Fang Foom
