Well done! Early ones again or not?colcool007 wrote:For those of you that have me on their Facebook, you will know that I have found that there are a significant number of comics that I no longer need to buy. But I have just done a deal to fill another 140 gaps in my Commando collection.
6 from the first 1000 and the rest from 1000 and upwards, so early-ish rather than from the first 500. However, as these are all to fill gaps, that is a bonus all by itself rather than getting another batch that are half to fill gaps and half to contrast and compare with my current holdings to figure out which one goes on the doubles pile!Adam Eterno wrote:Well done!

I love filling gaps! I'm concentrating on getting the random 400 ish that I need between #900 and #4900. Once I get close to completing that, I'll be saving my pennies to concentrate on the earlier issues where I'm woefully short.colcool007 wrote: 6 from the first 1000 and the rest from 1000 and upwards, so early-ish rather than from the first 500.

If they were around the 700s, they would all be 6p issues as Commando went to 6p from issue 587 in 1971 and stayed at that price until issue 903 in 197.stevezodiac wrote:A dealer at the ephemera fair had quite a few Commandos yesterday. Around the 700 numbering. 6p and 7p issues?
where is this fair steve ?stevezodiac wrote:I didn't look at the prices of the Commandos but there were lots of other library sized comics and I think they were £2 - £3 each. The next ephemera fair at the end of April is a Pulps special which includes comics. The dealer, Jon, is there every month and has lots of comics. He had a huge pile of Beanos and Dandys from 1969-70. Always gives a nice discount.
Was that on Ebay?? I missed it if it was! I still need that one and the one from 1967. I've got 11 Valiant specials now from 1968 onwards but still some to go. I haven't seen the 1966 one on Ebay for 3 years or so and the '67 one is usually very pricey at the £50 ish mark.koollectablz wrote:Picked up the first Valiant summer special. Never had it before so that's a good one for me.
