Get Marwood & I

You said AF, which is what Albert posted. Miller didn't do AF, they did AA. And those AA's you just posted are mine

This book falls under CGC's unilaterally agreed 'Foreign Editions' category.... https://www.cgccomics.com/international-comics/ ...which says: "This classification is assigned to international comics that feature a cover to which a US counterpart exists but is not a facsimile" Your UK destined Three Ring Comics shares its cover with the US original Pep Comics #22 and is not a facsimile of it: So it's a 'foreign edition' in CGC's book. Further into their webpage wording, it says that CGC "classifies and labels foreign editions by the title and issue number of their US counterpart" In this case, the US cover counterpart is Pep #22. Super Comics is the Canadian (cover) reprint of Pep #22. Three Rings and Super Comics may share the British flag cover star suit (see below), but both derive from the US suited Pep original: = Canadian Distribution UK Distribution US Original So two mistakes then, here - a poorly conceived, misleading, over engineered original labelling strategy and a subsequent operational failure to follow it. I love the actual comic though - that 9d sticker is divine

Right principle Rich, but wrong title - they Millerated the first four issues of Amazing Adventures (10c cover price, Miller indicia) before T&P took over with PVs. Both were part of identifiable, formal distribution arrangements though - Albert's AAF#9 is just a random, unidentifiable stamp. It could've been applied by anyone, and at any time that d's were in vogue really. This ToS below has a slightly neater application: As for the famous Tim Boo Ballast copies, who here has ever seen one? How do you prove it - by identifying that it got wet at some point? See also 'makeweight' copies Talking of which, I swear that DB served me at the London Fair yesterday. Or his double did. Imagine if Duncan's Double sold me a Double Double. No oldy stamped FF#39s were in attendance though.

9d? That's a Tim Boo Bargain!

We sure have. Bullseyes are what we're after, but something else that starts with bulls is what we've likely submitted.

I think I blew my chances of a copy by saying he'd made 4,000 rubbish admin posts earlier

Cor, you went through the gamut of emotions there Yozza. Don't worry though, there's still plenty of time left for me to fall off a cliff....

He'll need to be licking his nuts if any of those concrete lumps hit the target

@Yorick

Putting paid to the common perception that only dogs can lick their own nuts.

4,000 posts of administration! Most of them rubbish of an extremely high standard!

All the June 1965 FF#39 images I've saved for various reasons are all the later, smaller 10d stamp - I've no examples of the old stamp. The July 1965 ASM #26 often appears with the 'wrong' smaller stamp too, so that issue may also have had delays: There are 'correctly' stamped copies out there too though, so it does seem that all the FF#39 may have been uniquely late.

Most of mine have been found thru digging thru boxes at shows. These particular issues (Alan Class UK) I really only dabble in a small bit. @Get Marwood & I seems to be the real authority on these (plus a few other boardies) and I think he may have the info you're looking for. Authority? @mikeyc67 's the man collecting Marvel key Alans. Lou, you might want to check this thread here for Alan Class... https://boards.cgccomics.com/topic/488402-the-alan-class-club/#comments ...and here's a covers link to every Alan made: https://archive.org/details/photo-journal-guide-to-alan-class-comics As for overseas reprints of US originals in general, this is a good thread to follow: https://boards.cgccomics.com/topic/246349-comic-book-collecting-with-a-foreign-variant-focus/page/237/#comment-12677628 Have fun reading

Cool stamp isn't it, that one. I'd guess retailer as the book is already UK priced and you don't see the stamp that often.

Here's another example with both a 10d oblong and shilling circled stamp battling it out - Tales of Suspense #95 (November 1967): I spotted it on the bay this morning while looking into one of Richmond's offline queries. It's also the latest cover dated example that I've seen of a 'Goldstar' stamped comic.

Always nice to see an appearance from yellow-handed Thor Post a group pic when you've completed the silver set Mikey

For Davidson I'd go for the Caves of Androzani, widely viewed as his best. I liked it, back in the day, and knew instinctively it was a 'step above the ordinary'. For McCoy, The Curse of Fenrick or Ghost Light. For Colin, I'd try any episode that doesn't end in a zoom in of his face. Wait, that's all of them... Revelation of The Daleks or The Two Doctors. @Number 6 is on the money for Tom.

He has a friend! Good old Tracey

Cheers Eric. It can be tricky to track these DC books, where some titles have dual month indicias. Note the Oct/Nov Brave & The Bold #26 up there that has a November cover date, for example. I say the first use of the '1' stamp in the second cycle is the likely home for our newly found Strange Adventures #109 but the truth is it could be any of the early cycle uses. It could have been really late getting here. All good fun

Updated tracking docs: All expected issues of Strange Adventures are now accounted for: Likeliest shipment is this one, the first '1' stamp (second cycle): There's four 'late' October 1959 cover dated books in that slot now:

Pronounced 'Boo-shay', yes?
