  1. If you mean the chairs I posted above, they're fabric. The thread title is decoupage and 'other things'. It's all been quite decoupagey so far - the chairs are examples of the other things
  2. Oh, where is it from? That's a good one, let's see who else knows it. I'm waiting...
  3. Such a great film. The scene when Carrie comes home and Piper is behind the door with the knife. Brilliant
  4. Cheers Stephen! We've still got Archie, Charlton, Dell, Gold Key and King ongoing, so the pence flag will continue to fly here for a while yet
  5. A half eaten hostess twinkie. I started eating it in 79, and must have forgotten about it. I found it again last week behind a cupboard. Where should I send it? I think it's still edible.
  6. Should CGC recognise the opposite scenario then? "Bloody Awful Cover". That would be a good new designation. And quite handy when classifying Liefeld covers.
  7. My view was to avoid it because the water damage - if thats what it is - could eat away at the eye appeal and ultimately detract from the love of the cover. If I was buying to keep it, due to a love of the cover, I'd want a cleaner copy. And that advice is worth two pence, so after conversion it's worth more
  8. There isn't any dialogue worth focusing on Ken. Miss it and you miss nothing. Again, re watch Deep Breath and you'll see what I mean.
  9. That's how I feel. There's nothing to keep your attention and my mind wanders constantly. I couldn't keep my eyes off Capaldi. That came out wrong.
  10. It's a book we'd all like to own, but I would wait for a better copy. It looks like it's had water / moisture damage to me and I'd be surprised if it graded higher than 2.0. A much better looking copy sold on the boards back in July. As great as the cover is, that damage is quite off putting. Hold out for a better one CF.
  11. Afternoon Two final updates for this thread - first up, a friend has found one error in the calculations on my spreadsheet so we now have 840 confirmed DC pence variants. It doesn't mean we've found a new book, just that I mis-typed a 34 as 33. Second thing, I've spent quite a bit of time looking at the T&P stamps to see if I can identify a common pattern which may help to explain the numbering (see previous posts). The results are inconclusive, so I'm no nearer finding an explanation I'm afraid. I suspect this may be one of those situations where the knowledge is just no longer there and has been lost in time. But if anyone reading this knows something, please do dive in. Other than that, and as I just posted in my Marvel pence thread, this thread will go quiet now as I have nothing left to report on! All the comic images I have collected will be going to the GCD next year. Thanks for reading
  12. On the subject of numbers, those following this thread from the start will be aware of my 'missing list'. This was a list of books for which I believed an as yet undiscovered pence copy may have existed. Now that I have completed the L Miller indicia picture, the comparative gap analysis (i.e. the date scenarios where groups of books all miss the same titles) and the price font analysis, I'm fairly confident that there is only one potential pence book left to discover now. That book is Battle #70. It's the last issue in the title, so the odds should be stacked against it, but so is Wyatt Earp #29 and that has a pence copy. It has both 'fat' and 'tall' cents font copies, hence my belief that a pence copy may exist. So from this point, the missing list is officially retired. If I'm right, and Battle #70 surfaces, the number of Marvel comics with pence printed prices will increase and then remain at 3,018. To recap, the current 3,017 figure assumes: I haven't made any further mistakes in the calculations on my tracking spreadsheet (they've recently been checked by a friend, hence the one book reduction) I haven't missed any titles The analysis as to why certain early books will not be found is robust As with the recent Marvel Super Heroes find, there is always a chance that a further later dated book may appear but I think that was a one off. Only time will tell of course. The 3,017 by the way only covers standard comic size books. It excludes magazines, Treasury Editions (which I've summarised earlier in the thread) and oversize books. That being the case, there isn't much left to report on now. I've tried to cover every unique aspect of pence books, not only just what exists, and tried to make it entertaining on route. So this thread will likely dry up now as I have nothing left to post! I hope those of you that joined in found it interesting and I'm grateful for your input. My next task is to load all the missing images up to the GCD. I would have liked to post them here but the software doesn't lend itself to doing it in the structured manner I'd like. So keep an eye on the GCD next year, and you'll start to see them all appear. In the meantime, I'll only post in this thread now if someone asks a question or if I get a particularly nice new copy to show off. Or of course if I or someone else finds a new book! Never say never Cheers, Steve
  13. Never mind that Harry, what about 'Dirk Fowler'? Sounds like an incitement to a 'dirty protest'.
