  1. This copy currently on eBay brings us up to 92 of the 113 possible 15cv copies now: Only four more possible Bee and Vees left to find / confirm now....
  2. Thanks. The 'sort by' filter is the key, I think. If your SSRE isn't familiar with the journals, and has any questions having read the suggestions in this thread, he can always drop me a line. Good luck.
  3. Oh good, you're still here Good luck with the special project!
  4. Hello Flufy One good general source for comic info is the GCD but that doesn't seem to have any cover images at present for the Spanish reprints: https://www.comics.org/issue/1432532/ The Spanish Maxx books seem to follow the same cover / numbering as the US original copies. Here's 1-3 which I found by Googling: You could buy them here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/155587684409 CGC's labelling criteria for what they call 'international comics' can be found here: https://www.cgccomics.com/international-comics/ Your book should fall under the 'Foreign Editions' category.
  5. I can still get excited by comics at 55, but nothing beats the excitement of youth when, lets face it, things mattered so much more. Once you've experienced a bit of adult life, the death of loved ones, the realisation that your body isn't invincible after all and all the other slings and arrows that life throws at you it's hard to match the excitement you felt as a kid for the things you followed and collected. I won't tell the stories again, but there are a handful of memories that are burned so strongly into my mind - memories involving the discovery of certain things - that I can still smell if I shut my eyes, 40 or so years later. Sheer, unadulterated excitement. Comics and music are two things that still come close - they can still transport you there and I wouldn't be without either.
  6. Oh, that's a shame. I'd have liked to have said goodbye. Thanks for forwarding the link.
  7. A month on, any update for us Mike? Have Invision confirmed if it is possible to add 'Comments' to the Sort By filter? Hi Mike, one last try on this as it's been almost a year since your meeting with Dena Have you or anyone else at CGC still got a plan in course relating to the journal visibility issues that I identified in this thread? Is anyone actively working with Invision on the comments filter that I outlined, which Invision said "shouldn't be a problem"? What a big difference that would make. If the answer is I say thee NAY!, and is going to stay as I say thee NAY!, we can take it @CGC Mike
  8. I bought a bunch of them a while back, all with Woolies 4p stickers on the back. I've gathered images of others too, some 3p. Too early for my memory but it looks like F.W. dabbled at some point in our increasingly distant past.
  9. A good 'un it is, but that could be any old second hand shop's stickered second hand comic. Bought on holiday, maybe, hence no stamp. The Spidey #56 has a recognisable stamp that is far too late if all the other copies (from all publishers) are indicative. I can see how that 10p sticker ended up on that comic. I can't see how that #56 ASM got stamped that late? Unless, of course, it's just a very, very, very similar looking shilling stamp. And the Monarch of Magical Menace is a poxy name.
  10. I haven't updated this table in a while, after all that checking around the date work earlier in the year, but at cover date January 1968, this seems to be extraordinarily late for a 'Gold Star' shilling stamp: If it is one, that is....
  11. I can see them appealing to 3 year olds, yes. Thinking further though, many include stories about Little Lotta which probably won't fit in with today's modern thinking. Maybe The Pink Panther would be a safer bet.
  12. How about some of the Gold Keys - Pink Panther, Tom & Jerry. Or Little Dot, Audrey etc from Harvey?
  13. Same here. Never ate so much Weetabix. If I shut my eyes I can still smell the inside of the box. There was always that split second of despair that the cards might be missing. But they were always there. Just some pictures on a bit of cardboard they were. But nonetheless, magical. See also, Super Heroes cards
  14. Roy, you've been back eight whole hours and you haven't gotten into any trouble yet. Can you get a bloody move on? I'm going to lose the bet at this rate JOKE!
  15. We are Reggie, yes We've all done it mate. It was the right decision for you at the time. Don't sweat it
  16. +1 Finding Doctor Who cards down the side of the Weetabix box was thrilling beyond measure
