Hope I didn’t step on your toes too much, the highest graded books I bid on were 6.5. I know you tend towards the higher graded books.

 

No problem at all!  My sweet spot is 7.0, though I will go for 6.0 on pre-implosion books.  So this time around, I did not bid on any of the 6.5s.  My wins:

  • JIM #21 in 6.0 -- I bid on #27 in 7.0 and lost, that isn't supposed to happen!!
  • Strange Tales #9 and #45 in 6.0
  • TOS #34 in 7.5 ... oops, that was Heritage lol
  • Yellow Claw #3 in 7.0 (also Heritage)

When I end up with a 6.5 or 7.5, I am always interested in trading to get to my desired 7.0.  So, without turning this into a WTB thread, if there's anyone who wants to trade up from 7.0 to 7.5 on TOS #34 (or JIM #46) then I can make it a pretty favorable deal.  Similarly I am still trying to upgrade or fill in the following post-implosion books to get to a full 7.0 collection:

  • JIM #49, 51-54, 57, 58, 62, 77, 78
  • ST #66, 67, 69, 71-75, 79, 86, 88, 93, 98, 100
  • TOS #4, 8, 11, 13, 18, 24
  • TTA #1, 6, 7, 13, 17

Happy to do lopsided deals for fellow boardies, I have no shame!

Afternoon boys :)

Looking for some help - do any of you have this version of JIM #64 by any chance?

If so, could I get a photo of the indicia please, to see if it carries the Thorpe & Porter distribution text?

This is why I'm asking:

It has to be that one above - I've already seen inside this one:

Cheers boys - the version you both have appears to be the predominant one, which is in line with one of my order of production theories. I'm sure one of the wonky font versions will turn up online with an internal image soon.

Edit: I checked another of the price font variation books this morning - JIM #65 - and all three copies have the UK Thorpe & Porter indicia (9d, 10c and wonky 10c) so it's back to the drawing board....
