not that it would have bothered me, but i like date stamps so go figure

I missed it but I don't care.

Just to clear up the whole issue of the stamps that appear on some of these late 60s/early 70s DCs, as there seems to be some mis-conceptions…

 

When exporting books to the UK, the two main publishers took different tacks. Marvel actually replaced the printing plates for the price field, and at the end of the print run would produce a number of the notorious ‘pence’ copies. They were 1st prints, produced at exactly the same time as the usual run, and should not be viewed as either ‘price variants’ or 2nd prints.

 

DCs, on the other hand, really couldn’t be arsed going to all this trouble and simply sent over bundles from their standard print runs. However, when the books arrived here in the UK, the company used to distribute the books, Thorpe & Porter, would stamp them with a UK price to allow sale. This was very much part and parcel of the distribution process, was not ‘after-market’ and the stamps should not be viewed as any different to a distribution date stamp, as they occurred before point-of-sale.

 

Consequently, they do not have any effect on grade and should be a simple ‘do I or don’t I mind?’

OK, so today I’m bored in work, so we’re going to do a little thing I’d like to call ‘I Can’t Believe This Book Hasn’t Sold Yet’.

 

No, I’m not going to relist everything, but there are a few items that I’m amazed have not shifted, either because they’re beautiful examples, they’re slightly tougher to get in grade, or they’re simply cool books to have.

 

Maybe you missed them first time around, or perhaps you're new to the joys of the thread, or maybe...just maybe...you need a final little push to get you to pull the trigger.

 

So, for your viewing pleasure, I am honoured to present...
