Has anyone ever seen one of these before?

Well, that's me told. I'll just sit quietly in the corner... -

Looks foreign to me... Possibly from the Philippines? Certainly not from the time when US comics sold for 12c. -
I didn't know I was on the gig. I knew I was off my rocker, but... Plus also, this job alert just popped into my inbox cos I is on their mailing list, innit. Having said that, it's started a couple of gears turning. If I spot anything potentially useful to you, Velma, you can rest assured you'll be the second to know.

Ok. A couple of easy ones first. These are weirdy ones, I guess, in that they should be thick on the ground (careful now). Star Wars multi-pack non-reprint 35 cent variants. As I said, fairly easy to find. Just try to find a SW1 30 cent non-multi-pack reprint. I've only ever seen one, and I don't really trust the image. Also tough is the SW5 non-multi-pack reprint. Just wasted a half an hour trying to turn one up & found nothing. This is going to be one of the next things I try to quantify: relative scarcity of all of the Star Wars variants.

Right back at ya, Velma. Been skimming through a bit of this recently, but I've got a new job, so my skive-time is much reduced. I read the Rare Comics article. First rate, as always. Have a good one, mate. And the rest of you (us) nutters! Meet you down the Mother Black Cap. "Two large gins. Two pints of cider. Ice in the cider."

Ha! That was me in 1982, except for the curling the back cover bit. 12 years old and I knew every line of dialogue from Dawn of the Dead. No one in Springfield ever got to watch it because it was always checked out of the Errol's Video to one of my friends or me. Wait... maybe that's what's held me back all these years...

No fkakting way!

I agree with all of this. I still collect foreigns when I can get them cheap, but by cheap, I mean pocket change. There is a German one, according to GCD. https://www.comics.org/issue/30562/ And a Dutch, and a Danish, Norwegian, Italian and another UK (reprint this time) to go with your UKPPV. And you're right about treasuries: lovely great big things, when you find them in high grade they're really something special. But try finding decent bags for them. Pain in the hay-ho.

It is indeed, Velma. I'm thinking about it. It falls just outside my "too cool not to own"/"more money than I want to pay" Venn diagram. I'm just too cheap-arse, I guess. I should just buy the bloody thing so I can lock it away and never look at it again. And I probably will...
