:shock: 8) Wow! That's less than 200 short of the complete collections! You must only be missing wartime and pre-war issues, which is understandable considering most copies were pulped for the war effort. :(

Ignoring one issue from 1974 that I got as a back issue I have a fair range of issues between 1976 and 1979. These are my childhood copies when I would get issues with favoured TV series like Six Million Dollar Man. Then I have a more comprehensive run from 1980 to mid 1986 which were my sisters childhood collection - she collected it for the POP element. I have been slowly filling some gaps in that 1976 to 1986 run.

Suzy, now that's a title you don't see on ebay very often. I only have a single issue in my collection. Kim from Marvel UK is another title equally as elusive.

Helen, I do have quite a number of duplicate issues of Jinty, Tammy, Nikki and Emma. If you PM me your lists of missing issues of those titles, I will check for you at the weekend.
