Coolio in the glass house I also have this May 64 ASM in my 'early T&P outliers' folder - not a great image, but the stamp looks like a 3 or an 8: They all follow the same pattern - UKPV, inked out price, 10d stamp. Maybe they found them on a pallet during the first hi ate us. Hi was hungry, wasn't he. Ate everything that one.

the pursuit of nostalgia vs. living in the present
Get Marwood & I replied to factory sealed's topic in Comics General
I know what you're referring to Paul and that falls under the far from perfect element I mentioned. Far from perfect. I was thinking for kids. Everything today is crash bang wallop and 'going large'. They wouldn't make the Clangers today, would they. And the gallery on Take Hart would be set to rave music, no doubt. -
the pursuit of nostalgia vs. living in the present
Get Marwood & I replied to factory sealed's topic in Comics General
This post resonates strongly with me. I don't have kids in my life so have largely missed out on the connection to the current that they bring. I remember when I was a kid, the whole family watched Top of The Pops, so my Mum and Dad knew all the new stuff. There isn't much like that nowadays that I can see and even if there was, I have no youngsters to bring it into my world.. I find myself very much stuck in the past. All the things I like, have loved, and still love seem to be of the past. They say that every successive generation feels this way but I do think that the era of my youth was the best time the human race will ever see. It was far from perfect, but the post war, pre-internet era had the best of everything. It was people doing everything, not machines. There was variety, experimentation, self expression, risk taking and danger. There was gentleness, the quiet and the paired down. There was the possibility of things to come, fresh, exciting and never before seen. Today I feel that everything 'new' is just an old thing in disguise. You have to feel a little sorry for the gifted, enthusiastic youth of today. What can they come up with that hasn't already been done? Comics are the reason we are here on this forum and comics are of the past. They exist still today, clinging on for dear life, and there are youngsters in the hobby. But comics - real comics - are of an era that is gone. I could go on for hours about this, and have done in other posts, but I've come to accept that all my hobbies, all my interests, largely exist in the past. It doesn't actually bother me anymore as it once did. As long as I can go and see Morrissey, Costello, Squeeze and David Devant still, pop along to the London Comic Fair and nab things that I've enjoyed in my days from eBay, I'm happy enough. The present is vastly over rated and I don't much fancy it on most days if I'm honest. Thanks for posting @factory sealed -

Archie cover price variants! 15 centers exist 1962-1963
Get Marwood & I replied to bill999's topic in Silver Age Comic Books
I spotted this at the London Fair today - Adventures of The Jaguar #9 15 Cent Variant: This is the third Archie 15cv I've found in the wild in the UK now. Considering how scarce they are, that's quite a feat -

Good point. Only a handful of us care about them today as it goes -

That's a comfort. If they were attempted fakes, you'd expect the seller to have a hefty mark up, otherwise, why bother ruining a MJI copy? -

Agreed. I'm not sure I've ever seen a signed comic cover. And would Ross sign a cover he didn't draw? -

I somehow managed to fluke this £20 eBay purchase in the week: 75p price variant! I haven't read it for so long I can't remember what happens. Something to do on a(nother) rainy day in Englandville
