  1. That's a good one @ivrimark More like what I had in mind when I started this thread
  2. Me too. You have to be very well off to afford high grade silver age books now. I managed ASM 100-200 in CGC 9.4 when I was earning well, but realised that there was no way I could do that for 1-99. So I started out with 8.5 for 50 up and hoped for 7.0 for 11 to 49 etc. I gave up when I knew that wouldn't be possible. So I totally get that the majority of us will aim for mid grade books when building our silver age collections. I've always liked a nice clean 6.0 myself and most of my raw Spideys under 100 were around that grade. Still, now I've stopped collecting properly, and only buy books for my pence / Miller research, any old crappy copy will do!
  3. Calm down Craig! If CGC graded puns that would've come back as a 2.0. And it would've been over graded
  4. You're welcome. Find yourself a raw 9.8 in the wild instead. More fun
  5. Hello @Spawn1709 A quick look on ebay shows a 9.6 sold for $50 and an 8.0 for only $12. Your pictures aren't as clear as they could be, but your copy looks around a 9.0 at best from what I can see. So I personally wouldn't bother getting it graded if you have resale value in mind. Happy hunting
  6. Niiiiice. Don't slab them @THB, as they may come back with Newton Rings
  7. I don't mind it Buzz, but it's hardly vintage Mozz. It does feel slightly lazy yes, but when you consider its title maybe that's deliberate? Look out for this film if you can: http://www.genesiuspictures.com/the-more-you-ignore-me-2017/ My nephew is on the production team and has been keeping me updated on progress. He was in Cannes the lucky beggar helping to find a distributor. Lots of well know English actors and, of course, a full Smiths score. Jo Brand (the author of the book on which it is based) is a big Smiths fan. Should be good. There's been another Morrissey film out over here - England Is Mine - but I haven't had time to see it yet. Here's one more - Mozz smash! I like it more every time I hear it. Isn't it great that a bloke of his age can still turn out entertaining, slightly knowing songs just on the right side of throw away. Who else could get away with 'Spent the Day in Bed' as a song title? The man is a genius (and a vastly underrated comic to keep it topical)
  8. Great morning mucking about with comics today - here's a nice group shot: I picked up this lovely Gunsmoke Western # 57 (first Two-Gun Kid): There's some more Western pics in my threads here if you're interested:
  9. Hi Guys, I picked up a Rawhide Kid #17 today - read all about it in my L Miller thread here: Here it is along with some other pence beauties:
  10. Cheers @KirbyJack I received a pence copy in the post this morning so I now have both! If you're interested, take a look at my thread here for some info regarding distribution in the UK. Lot's of nice scans in there:
  11. Hi All, I finally managed to pick up a pence copy of Rawhide Kid #17 and, as expected, she's an L Miller distributed comic I have a cents copy too - here they are for comparative purposes: Cents Copy Pence Copy It's good to know that L Miller are responsible therefore for bringing one of the Marvel Western keys to the UK. Good on em Here's the updated summary chart: I'll keep you posted if I find any of the missing copies (shown in the chart as either blank where I have no copy / image or with just the price where I have seen a copy but not the indicia page). Cheers!
  12. Good idea @THB. Nice books - and I like the ASM #1 reprint trying to get a look in at the top of the picture
  13. I have a rare printing error variant. All the pages are stuck together
  14. I guessed as much. You can't say them, but we sure can see them even when they're not there! It's a load of isn't it. Just don't get me started on Avoid my pence thread then @Patriot6. No cents to comprehend in there
  15. I quite like silly Sally @Patriot6 It's not really Ralph (rowlf). I was messin with ya I'll let Jim spill the beans on his canine companion. He's probably logged off to go and get a haircut. Jim that is. And look, I managed to reply to your post without mentioning knockers or cheekies. Where's @lizards2 when you need him....
