Very tempting. I'm watching them as well but I've got a massive purchase lined up in September so I really need to hold back on other purchases currently

Is this massive purchase something like a new car or a new house?, or something sensible like a complete run of Beano comics from 1938?

Much more the latter!

The Scoops are tempting. Nice run with great covers.

High opening bid though at over £370 inc fees. I'm surprised that there hasn't been a bid on the Wild West Weekly set yet and only 3 watchers including me.

Took delivery of 198 Busters from 1980s, won on ebay.

I’ve just identified what you’re buying Doug - a hearty congratulations! They will both look magnificent together.

Is it the Turin shroud and an Easter egg?

Actually, it's not me who has the pair, it's another local Hampshire man apparently. I am though, the new proud owner of an original Beano #1 from the same source you identified.

Cheers Bri. Enough that I won't put it in the public eye in case my girlfriend sees! I bought Phil Shrimpton's copy though and he's posted what he sold it for on his site.

I'm frantically selling stuff currently to try to make even a little dent in the amount!
