Get Marwood & I

Niiiiice! I like the pence copies better though Hepcat

I will Marwood, I will

Ah, I see from your name change that the instructions I provided worked for you! Great stuff...great...

And here's another - the Blazing Six Guns! No Miller spiel on the indicia alas, so just distribution on I.W. it seems. I'll keep looking though. You never know what will turn up.

Terminus

Indeed, on both sides of the pond! Did the Overstreet ONE card have 9.2, 9.4, 9.6, 9.8, 9.9 and Gem Mint on it? Cant recall

Nyssa....

Ahhh, Nyssa. Once she got out of that horrible red suit and into something a little less formal I promptly fell in love...

Not strictly true Batman. His last word was actually "AAAAAARRRRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGG---"

Not agreeing is part of the fun though N e r V, no? Maybe now that CGC have supplanted Bob they can have a go at deciding.

Hurry everyone. This club will be oversubscribed within days!

102 was the first picture frame Spidey Oak I agree. As well as the price element, I've always thought 101 felt silvery, 102 bronzey. So it's 101 for me as the last silver age Spidey, based on 102's pricing, picture framing, and general bronzey feeling

Diverting even further to L&M #11, I wonder who's stamp this was..... Silly bloke on the cover went for the blonde I see. Always go for the dark haired girl. I don't know, some people....

A brief diversion readers*, while we await another Marvel Miller. Love and Marriage #2 from I.W. Enterprises: So why post that here, I hear you cry? Aha! The Miller distribution stamp. I was wondering if this meant that Miller had variantised I.W. under our noses too, along with Marvel and Heston. Turns out not, judging by the indicia: Nevermind. Still, nice to know that Miller imported so much more than we realised. Back to the book, a fairly tame snog attempt is taking place albeit our lady seems less than keen, our paramour missed the target and the chap on the train in the background seems to be thinking "If that were me there'd be a tongues" Happy days... *bit presumptuous!

A topical pence post this one, given the forthcoming film - the Two-Gun Kid battles the Black Panthers prototype! I picked it up at the fair on Sunday, as I didn't have a decent image for the file. Considering the printed 10d price, you'd think Thorpe & Porter would have spared us their stamp of approval wouldn't you....

Back of the queue lizard brain!

It looks to me like Polirer is incapable of reasoned debate, so I humbly suggest we stop trying to get a different response from him. Broadly speaking, as I see it, there are two schools of thought in this and the other threads about print numbers for variants. One school is that there is no data, so therefore no confirmed numbers, only speculation. The other is that there is evidence to support numbers, but I personally have yet to see. I suspect it will not come. I know where I stand on it. As a former owner, I was interested in discussing the ASM 667, and other such posts about comparatively scarce variants. But these threads are now just Groundhog Day starring people with little online appeal. If you keep putting your hand into a fire, and expect a different result, you're in for a lot of pain. So I'm out, and I'll make sure the door doesn't hit me where the good Lord split me as I go. Think of this post as a can of pedigree chum Please do not feed Polirer

A nice pence version of the #19 original from a publisher you don't often see - Gerald G. Swan Ltd of Marylebone, London. This one isn't even on the GCD

Niiice! Sorry Shark, I couldn't like it because...

Poor Adric I think the Doctor should have gone back and got him off that freighter. There's always a way, you see. Time can be rewritten! Having done so though, he should then have dropped him out of the Tardis onto one of the Horns of Nimon. And then landed that Tardis on him. Just to make sure.

Indeed! And are there any pence variants in there?

Phew, I made it. Or did I......? We need to see this room! Take a course on loading up photos TVH I like that story (not literally alas, as I've run out of them). I'm sure he was sending it to you TVH. Imagine what they get up to up there, looking down and watching us hunt around for traces of their mortal lifes work. Must be gratifying, so breaking the rules with an inexplicable pamphlet probably wont be looked upon too sternly by the surely affectionate gatekeeper. "Cushing! What have I told you about sending little messages...."

I have to confess, it really did spook me as a kid. It's funny how some things stay with you. The Queen stabbing the policeman at the end of that episode gave me nightmares. And I'm going to bed now! Look what you've done to me

My shop got it the same time as the regulars. His delivery arrived. It had 50 regulars in it. And 1 variant. He put them aside for me as he did all Spidey variants. I bought them. That's how I come to own 90% of my spidey variants. I picked them up from my LCS the same week I picked up the regular copies. Same with 678 and the rest. The only one he didn't get was 700. I often went to the shop and helped him open the boxes. That ensured I got the variants. I was a completist. The only thing that mattered was having a copy of everything. What it would come to be worth was of no interest to me at the time. To me, it was just another great variant. I really don't get all this bickering over numbers. There aren't many about. It's clearly rare. But to this day, I've seen no evidence of actual numbers. What does it matter? It's rare, and sells for a bomb to the right buyers. Great! Can't we leave it at that?

Is that not the best theme ever?
