Made two purchases from eBay.com.au

I bought today two issues of the best of Whoopee! as well as a copy of the 1959 Dandy book.

I should have these purchases by sometime after Easter. (One lot has to come from the other side of the country, while the other is coming from far north Queensland)

Preordered tonight, this year's Classic Beano and Dandy book "A salute to Dudley D. Watkins "

I should have that by the end of August.

I had been undecided about bidding on a bundle of Buster (which had included the pre merge issue before Cor!! joined Buster.)

It had slipped through my fingers. One day, I will get that elusive issue one day.

Wow, my luck is in lately. Another landmark issue this morning, and it's the Beano's 20th anniversary issue (week ending 2/8/1958) This will be sent via Skypax later this week. Only the 20th anniversary issue of the Dandy to go. (and of course the 15 remaining 1990 issues of the Topper to go. Update...

I also just ordered the 2020 Specials Bundle from the 2000AD Shop.

I am looking into buying that myself in the next week or two.

The episodes in question are from the Bash Street Kids 40th anniversary story arc, first appearing in issues 2690 (dated w/e 5/2/1994), No. 2691 (w/e 12/2/1994) and No. 2692 (w/e 19/2/1994)

No. 2692 also included a BSK pin badge.

I won today a 1948 issue of the Beano, issue dated the fortnight ending 7/8/1948 And if I am also correct, this would have been the 10th anniversary issue (although DCT wouldn't have celebrated the event then.) Update: 14/2/2020 Final purchase before my holidays, and bought volumes two to six of Jam...

Last year, I bought a reproduction copy of the 1958 Beano Book. I decided this morning to buy a reproduction of the first Beano Book (the 1940 Beano Book) I should get that by the time I get back from holidays in early March (it takes around ten days for the Book to be printed and sent to SkyPax (I ...

This will be my final eBay comic purchases for 2019, and today, I ended the year with a replacement copy of Whizzer and Chips, issue dated 13/12/1969.. I will get this sent via SkyPax in the New Year. Also bought the New Beano and Dandy classic covers book from Phil Shrimpton (Phil-Comics). I will g...

I got in the mail yesterday, this year's Christmas issue of the Beano.

I will be picking up in the mail tomorrow, a personalized copy of the 1958 Beano Book (sent via a parcel forwarding service, as otherwise, I wouldn't be able to buy.)

Probably the last eBay purchase before Christmas (as I have to send my reproduction 1958 Beano Book next week) is the 65th anniversary issue of the Dandy (7/12/2002) And considering the seller (who I have done business with in the past) it won't arrive until early next year.. Drat! I just found out ...

Al, I have uploaded the cover for the Topper Summer Special for 1988, so that can be now updated.

After procrastinating for the last six months or so, I decided to buy a reproduction Beano annual from the Beano Shop. (the 1958 book) It will be sent through the parcel forwarding service I have been using for the last twelve months or so. I noticed it is selling now for £19.95 (ex VAT plus £3.50 s...

I don't honestly know.

I will be checking out whether DCT have done a special for that year on eBay.

Just letting Al know that I have made a correction in the specials gallery. For the Bananaman summer special that is currently listed as the 1987 special is incorrect. https://comicsuk.co.uk/images/Specials/Bananaman/BananamanSpecial_1987(SS).jpeg This is in fact the cover for the 1988 special.
