Thanks!

anyone seen the Dandy No.2 (includung free gift) for sale for £10K ???

I know its a rare comic & with the original free gift, but not £10K worth!

I hope more people follow Phil like sheep thinking the bottom of the market has fallen out of old beano & Dandys cause I'll be there waiting... watching.. and being outbid as usual. Phil selling his collection has not put me off. I'm looking forward to more rarer items coming on the market at last, ...

I cannot remember the exact details but my mate Steve said a copy of the Beano sold for over £200 last week. It was the issue featured on the cover of the Bluesbreakers album featuring Eric Clapton. Even if it was the exact same copy I can't see it being worth that much. it was Phil Shrimpton's auc...

one of my Comic Cuts comics from World War I era had a banner along the top telling you to 'send this comic to your brother in the trenches' within his xmas package.
highly likely that he was only 15 anyway

Still to arrive. and the usual Merry & Bright, Funny Wonder (Charlie Chaplin issues) and Illustrated Chips from the 1920s & 30s. As well as an Illustrated Chips comic from 21st Nov 1896,...

I decided to treat myself to the Dandy comic free gift, the 'Whirly Twirly' from issue #1663, 1973. After waiting many years for one to come up for sale, I decided it was a must buy for the collection! Saw that one. The seller had it listed as a 1960s free gift but I thought anyone putting in the r...

managed to win a bid on a framed Whizzer & Chips comic dated 25th Oct 1969. The seller only listed it as 'Framed Whizzer & Chips comic'.
So looks like I have picked up Whizzer & Chips issue #2 for £14.99
They claim it was framed years ago & they think it is complete. worth a try.

As far as I remember, there is a 1951 Sports Day cover which has alot of the Beano people on it. Dennis is ontop of a flag pole escaping from his dad, its early as he doesn't have the stripped jumper yet. He also appeared in an early cover, maybe maybe mid 1950s and is being spanked by Biffo using a...

Thanks Lew! The description of it as a comic threw me for a while, but now I think about it I'm pretty sure I've got a few copies myself somewhere. Wish I'd picked up some Arthur Ferrier artwork when it was going cheap a few years ago! Yes, definitely not a comic but it did feature some short humou...
