I suppose it is a personal interpretation of either a seller or buyer. Me? I would suggest any card within the Edwardian period could reasonably be described as old, but the 1960,s ?? Oh dear me! Certainly not.

Bit of a dilemna here methinks regarding the use of the word rare. Is it, I wonder sometimes, a case of rarity or beauty being in the eyes of the beholder?

As a collector of British born entertainers, I came across a super card in this series (No4. Vera Lynn). In addition, I found another lovely card of Joan Rice "Film Star Autograph Portrait Series" Does anyone have any cards from these two series that they wish to sell or exchange to John B...

Hope one day, we can have one for other comic artists such as Taylor, Fitzpatrick, Tempest of Bamforth fame, and of course my other favourite Trow. You'd best make a start on it then...! I don't know if any of the other lists exist. Mike Ah Mike! If only I had the skills etc to carry out any reseac...

Just printed off the checklist for Pedro Comics, very useful when visiting fairs etc. Hope one day, we can have one for other comic artists such as Taylor, Fitzpatrick, Tempest of Bamforth fame, and of course my other favourite Trow.

:D Thank for that Mike. As an "Old Fogie" I still find modern IT something of a maze and struggle with this infernal machine at times. They say that one is never too old to learn! They certainly did not have me in mind there!! I manage, that is about it.

Cheers tupence, I will bear that in mind. Still "struggling" to fill a few gaps in my Pedro/Flip/ Carlos comics. Noticed quite a few on the web but sadly not the numbers I still require. Same applies for my Trow collection.

I've finally got round to sorting the new 'applications'... There were about 750 out of which I've activated 10 new accounts - hopefully a few of these are genuine. ... though nobody out of the 750 had emailed independently (as we request) to confirm they were living beings. The other 740 or so I'v...

:D Hello tupence, welcome aboard. What is your particular collecting interest? I don't suppose you are going to make my day and tell me that you are a fanatical collector of comic postacrds?

:D Good luck with sorting out the new registrations Mike. I still can't understand these idiots, what's the point? Apart from anything else, it spoils things for the rest of us genuine collectors.

:( I don,t know, what has happened to good manners and common politeness? However, there you go. You made a very high bid and still got pipped at the post! I don't know if this is a healthy sign or not, it does tend to inflate prices somewhat and I really don,t know what the solution is. Do we need ...
