Sweet Lou 14 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 (edited) 1 hour ago, Get Marwood & I said: That's quite an expensive UK price there! Aha! I was wondering if anyone would notice. In my high-grade Silver Age collecting, I generally avoid any date stamps, price stamps, or writing -- but I enjoy relaxing my OCD tendencies on my pre-hero collection. The "5 8 P" blends in so well on this cover that I only noticed it when I had the book in hand, and it didn't bother me. I was wondering if it might be a pence stamp -- but the only way that makes sense to me is if someone stamped the 5 incorrectly, thought better of it, and then did the 8 and P. Is that what you think happened? At any rate, it sure looks like three separate and distinct impressions of the stamp.

Is that what you think happened? I don't think so, no. We had a pence priced version of that over here and if it was an imported stamped US copy I'd expect it to be a Thorpe & Porter one and at 9d. No, I think that's a mystery set of numbers. Maybe the clue to all life and the universe? Lovely book either way, and you're right, the numbers do kind of fit in with the decor don't they!

Get Marwood & I Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Afternoon I got up this morning and thought "I don't half fancy a Shagg". Like you do. Anyway, a quick scout around the usual haunts and all the Shaggs on offer were 10c. Bit much. Then I lucked out with this 9d Shagg: I tell you, it's the best Shagg I've had in ages! I do like a good Shagg. See you next time mysterio, davidtere and KirbyJack 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KirbyJack Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 Good afternoon to you. While I'm glad you enjoyed your Shagg, I can't agree it was the best. A bit too violent, and FAR too many people involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KirbyJack Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 I was wondering why so many people were in that small upper room. I feel sorriest for the lone female. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel sorriest for the lone female. There's two actually. And one transvestite. We've got Marion here in the corner: And this is Dave the transvestite: Always looked good in a dress did Dave. And then of course there's Shagg herself: I always thought long hair suited her better but she did like a mop top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mysterio Posted November 1, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 1, 2019 Was going to be responsible and not bid on Clink this month, then saw this book last night and threw what I thought would surely be a non-winning bid. Pretty nice upgrade to my 6.0. The Commissioner, Supernerd, DR.X and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mysterio Posted November 7, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted November 7, 2019 When I saw this one come up in the Clink auction I knew I had to go after it. Did I overpay? Probably.
