Don't get me started on stuff I shouldn't have sold. Every Silver Age Marvel key bar FF1 for starters. We've all been there, mate & as we get older, we tend to go there more frequently. I should have a loyalty card for the "What the hell was I thinking?!" lounge. I'd never pay for coffee again.

I seem to run the lounge. Your card is in the post

You know I'll only lose it. Maybe I should put it on my key ring. That way I'll know where to go when I lock myself out of the house.

You say that but doesn’t the label of Creepy #36 say “reprints Fantastic Four #1” (should say #5)

Good spot Garystar. My old eyes would never have seen that.

Even when they 'get it right' they get it wrong!

I bet back in the day Duncan never imagined he'd be selling that for six hundred quid one day....

Don’t think he even bothered putting them in his price guides.

Indeed. I just checked my old sales records, and I sold my second copy for thirty seven quid. I've always been rubbish at making money on comics.

Why does Duncan say it is an Out of this World second series when they only went up to number 10. Surely it is a One Shilling comic from the first series and was published in the mid 1960s. If Alan had hung on to all the printing plates for the interiors including this fabled AF15 story what would they be worth now I wonder??

PS: I'm even more rubbish at making money from comics. I gave away hundreds of Class comics including some number ones but in my defence that was back in 1978.

You can't touch my uselessness when it comes to failing to make money on comics due to bad timing, Robot.
