  1. Have a search of eBay uk Two Gun Kid 64 for an even more eye popping asking price. I used to set my upper limit for westerns and sgt fury at 50p (pence,  cents, condition unimportant) and was still picking them up at that price into the early 2000s which makes It hard to comprehend asking prices such as these.

    The vast knowledge of all things comics by the guys on this site is what attracted me, and i’m Sure many others, to it so please keep sharing. 

  2. My collection, bar a few Adams Batman trades, is all Marvel. As collection has grown and also branched into Marvel memorabilia I've had to make room by letting go of everything bar main collection so sorry can't help with other publishers. There are still silver age westerns and humour mags I look out for so if I come across any more pence copies from your list I'll post. 

  3. This is my copy of Gunsmoke Western #64, at first glance appears to be the ultra rare 6B price variant

    I've looked at the others on your list and my copies are either cents issues (GSW and RK) or I haven't got them at all (TGK, WY). I've had TGK #58 on my wants list for many years, although it pops up regularly in USA I can't bring myself to pay the postage on it - I've never seen a copy from UK.

  4. The confirmed pence list is a great piece of work, I had assumed that common titles like FF or Spider-man had pence copies of all distributed issues. No work for me today so just spent morning comparing pence list to my comics and they match almost exactly, as I collected most of my silver age collection in UK pre-internet I have a lot of pence issues but my pence/cents list mirrors Marwood's. I noticed a number of issues you list as no pence copies Duncan McAlpine's guides show as scarce or uncommon in UK, my copies of several of these are unstamped cents copies making me wonder whether there are more UK non-distributed issues than previous guides have suggested. I could only find one pence issue in my collection your list isn't showing, I can't believe its not common in UK so probably glitch in your list. (What a bargain, Barry Windsor-Smith double sized issue for 6p!)

  5. Hi Guys, I've been observing the boards for several years but never joined until today. Being in UK I've long had an interest in the pence/cents debate. Anyway here are a couple images of my comics you may be interested. (Apologies if I've posted scans incorrectly and they don't come out in which case I may need some insufficiently_thoughtful_person guide help).img009.thumb.jpg.579cafd9b71cccc33bfe097cf2876614.jpg
