It has happened a couple of times to me, too, but clearing the cache usually works.

I just had to clear the cache myself actually, Albert. I knew I shouldn't have had that last naan bread

We need a thread with a re-cap of those 13 posts rather than images of horses. Someone might upload their "My little Pony" collection.

Some SA&GA coming to me from a barn in the UK.  I wonder if all the US copies are stamped?  I'm not sure from these pics.

It looks like all the imported DCs and US ACGs are stamped by Thorpe & Porter, as you would expect. The handful of Marvel/Charlton UKPVs aren't, also as expected. The 12c Charlton HR&RC #79 is too late for a R&V UK distribution stamp. The rest are UK titles, so wouldn't be stamped as a rule. Nice haul, Gad! 

[themagicrobot]

@gadzukesIt looks like the DCs have Thorpe and Porter stamps

Adventures into the Unknown is a mid/late 1950s T &P reprint

one of the Charlton has a LM UK Price

Some very old UK books and comics in that batch avidly collected by at least 3 people on the planet

Is there an echo in here?

Where do I find those 3 people?

I want them to fight over "Boo Boo the Barrage Balloon".

No thanks. Thankfully I'm cured now having reached peak comics.

I'm surprised anything consisting of paper and not bagged (or slabbed) can survive in a barn. I recall the fate that befell some boxes of comics owned by a friend that were placed in a garage for just a few weeks between house moves.

@gadzukes Those Boy's Own look like they have terrific cover art.  I'd love to see them when they arrive.

There's about fifty thousand versions of those Classics Illustrated it seems. Fancy trying to gather all those
