I think it was like that for me a long time ago, I would go to a mart and come back with maybe 1 or 2 books, back in the day I would come home with a car full lol 

Last time I went to London I bought nothing and couldnt even find anything decent in the shops, I was after a Hulk #1 and no one had one for sale.

Thats why I havent been in so long :( 

I was tempted by a run of Atomic Bunny, but it doesn't fit any of my collecting strands so I left them. I'm turning into you Kev. I'll disciplined.

I was rooting through one of McCartney's boxes when a woman asked how much an X-Men #1 was. She didn't baulk at the £9k asking price and said it was a present for her boyfriend's birthday. I offered to marry her :bigsmile:

Retrospectively buy her a pence Hulk #1 and tell her that you love her so much that you'll even look after it for her :wishluck:

You can definitely see the difference in quality of the new one compared to the other one’s

Thanks it’s probably one of the best FF covers and it’s now the highest grade copy I have for my silver surfer collection what’s cool as well 

It's VERY cool and one that I still need a pence copy of. I DO have this La Prensa Mexican Publication copy though.

I picked up a lovely clean copy of Gunsmoke Western #58 at the fair today - my seventh copy of this issue, and by far the nicest:

Though it's a Miller indicia book, it doesn't have a cover stamp so it will become my new '1st 20 Marvel UKPV' set copy.

Very nice :)

Trimmed along top edge?

I don't think so Albert, no. The pence copies all seem to be cut close to the title - you rarely see the full IND (I was a poet.....)

That is a cool book I’ve never seen one of the Mexican publications in person they look interesting 

They're very cool inside, as they often times have different Marvel house ads! I don't wanna bog down the UK thread with Mexican publication copies, but here are a few pics from inside the issue I posted. The first pic is the inside front cover, the other two are interior house ads.
