Re: What comics did you buy today?

Thanks Into The Abyss & jim244, I reckon I have more Busters now than when I originally collected them back in 2000 - 2012 (I regretfully sold the lot in 2012). Back then I could store the lot in the bottom of a bookcase, now that has filled up and I'm using some wardrobe space upstairs as well - I ...

Re: What comics did you buy today?

Thanks 'Into The Abyss'!,

I started collecting Busters from scratch exactly 5 years ago this month. It's taken me a lot longer than I expected to find the 1960's issues but I enjoy finding something of that vintage in nice condition that fills another gap in my collection.

Re: Classic TV Collectables

Hi 'Into the Abyss' - I love 'The Avengers' tv series - (Emma Peel episodes only) and collect original colour 1960's 2'' x 2'' transparency slides and regular 35mm slides of images taken on set either behind the scenes or during the filming. I also have several original B&W publicity photos from the...

Re: What comics did you buy today?

I have the first issue of Buster but have not put it on ebay as I always fear the buyer may claim they didn't receive it and eBay believes them and I have to refund them thus losing the comic and the payment. Most collectors are honest but with a high price comic I don't want to take the chance. Un...

Re: What comics did you buy today?

What a collection you've amassed there Chalky. Out of interest. Do you keep them bagged & boarded? I know the early issues are quite long compared to the later more wider comics? I use 2000ad bags & boards. Fits a treat. Love to see a pic of that 1st issue of Buster if able too. And as the late gre...

Re: Some interesting observations about collecting

Yes Jim244 storage is a big problem for me as well. I have the bottom have of a bookcase filled with hundreds of individually bagged comics and annuals and I can only fit maybe 50 more comics inside with no other storage space available! So in a year or so I will run out of space and will have to mo...

Re: What comics did you buy today?

Yes they are becoming both scarcer and more expensive. Over 20 years ago I bought a load of 1960 -1963 Busters from The Book Palace in London, they cost a lot but in an instant I filled about 100 gaps in my collection. Try finding 100 Busters dated 1960 - 1963 now, it would take years! Also 30th Cen...
