How much do you value/devalue UK Pence Copies

[Joe Kim]

I've gotten my hands on a couple of Marvel key issues, slabbed and graded, but I'm having a hard time finding out their value as they are pence copies.

 

Does anyone know where I can find a reliable source/site to check the value of UK/Pence copies?

 

Or on a personal note, how much do you value/undervalue Pence copies. I know that Mile High, considers them to be worth far more than US copies and considers them price variants. Thoughts?

When buying, they are worthless.

When selling , they are priceless.

You can actually draw your own conclusions on this. Here are the facts; UK pence priced copies were printed at the same time on the same presses as the US versions, just with the plate for the price changed.

 

They are not reprints or printed in the UK.

Depends on the book and the grade really.

 

Reader copies? About the same as Cents

Midgrade copies? A little lower, 5-10% maybe

High grade copies? 20-25% less than the cent market value

 

But every collector values them differently. There not reprints but for a lot of people they either don't know that or only want cent copies.

I value them the same as U.S. copies. I'm no xenophobe.

I actually love the aesthetic of the pence on some comics, for example I like my UK X-Men 101 much more than my US copy.

You would think they are more valuable, like a variant.

 

Apparently the pence copies act superior and look down their noses at the cents copies.

U.K. collectors generally prefer cents copies.

I will buy either and I dont value one above the other.

The completist in me wants both.

To me, a Pence copy as about as much appeal as a Tan Page copy. I have no use for them.

Nice books.

I actually really like how the aesthetic of the pence looks around this era of Marvel. Bought a bunch of X-Men from that era for that reason.

Whereas, the cents copies think that they are the only copies in the world and none of them have a passport.
