Pence Variants

[thecopperagekids]

I don't know what it is about pence variants, but I hate them with a passion and I don't know why I do.

In a hobby where a lot of people are into it for nostalgia and childhood memories, I grew up in the UK so T & P stamps on DCs and half blank boxes on Marvels was what I knew, but I kind of consider them inferior now. I know thats wrong but I can't help it. I don't even like BA marvel books with a small faint T & P stamp on them.

I've tried to make myself like them or accept them, they are after all exactly the same comic book, but I can't.

 

I don't have a single one in my collection. It's very odd.

 

That sounds like you have a hard on for American goods, nothing inherently wrong with that buuut the tone of your post makes me wonder....

 

Ashamed of your roots there, old chap?

 

 

 

No. I was talking about comic book preferences not my Nationality

 

Yeah, I got that.I was just joking with you, a bit of friendly ball breaking

 

Anyway, regarding pence variants.....I kinda dig them and the market is coming around on their values.

I love pence copies -- the one's that are "penced" on the printing presses. I don't care at all for the one's with the over-stamps.

 

I agree about the stamps. Not a fan of those. Don't mind the other kind

I think things like pence stamps (and arrival dates, for that matter) add character to books.

All of my interest in 80's pence copies can be found in this post

A few boardies put together a series of threads - I didn't know much about the brief return of pence copies for ASM from 215-223r..

 

Or Aussie price variants

I think the Pristine Comics Ad in the 2015/16 OSG says a lot about the acceptance of Pence copies.

They (Pristine Comics) are actively searching them out now. They are Savvy dealers who know what they're doing.

 

I think Pence copies are going to be creeping up in value. They will never reach Cent values, but I think the 50-60% values will be replaced by 60-70% values. And mega keys.... 75%?

 

Of course I own an Af15 pence so I'm a little biased.

You're not on your own there Grant.

Almost as soon as I said that, I go and buy a pence ASM # 1 - someone take it away !
