so are these books holding their value or are they too experiencing some market decline concerns as other so called "wall books" are doing?

Here's a couple of nice Betsy upgrades that I received from that good man @fett (cheers again fett! )

We did a swap the other month - a few Charlies for a few IW's. I still owe him an IW or two I think, as I got more than him, and I hope to balance the good deed soon 

Anyway, here they are. Much cleaner than my previous two!

  

They are very happy in their new home, surrounded by 427 of their pence priced friends 

"Brilliant surgeon doctor or man".

It could only be better if Orman's first name was Clint...

While I'm genuinely glad I owned all those Marvel books from the 60's and early seventies and sold them for amounts that my mother would still be in the confessional booth about, I kind of wish I'd paid attention to Charlton books. They're dumb enough that it would almost make you proud to collect them. Over here, Jeez, no one else would do it.. I just can't imagine owning something with zero prospects and being proud of it. 

I loved Reptilicus from the moment I saw it.

Welcome to my collection Pete 

[Glassman10]

You could house the collection in the building right next to the "Napkin Rings  from around the World Collection" I don't think you'd need a  security vault or anything. "

Interesting video here.

Amongst other things it reminds us that Charlton owned their own printing presses and that they were originally used to print cereal boxes before being adapted for comics. That always makes me smile for some reason. And that Charlton were the last company to keep the romance comic flag flying (and more often than not by blowing up an interior panel shot for the covers). Good for them. The world needs more romance. Or needed, I should say. 

Lots of references to Ditko and his approach too which are interesting to hear. 

Shame the audience seems to be just three men and a dog, if the front rows are anything to go by. I'd have liked to be there, to ask if anyone knew anything about how L Miller came to have the pence copies of this thread printed.

Nice also to just see some old guys reminiscing about their time.
