Snipe-Chi (5/24/2009)
Earl Davis (5/22/2009)
That's amazingly generous of you but it's probably not worth the cost of mailing it out to the UK. I appreciate the thought though  . Sending it by UPS would no doubt cost you an arm and a leg but sending it by lettermail wouldn't probably cost more than a few pounds. And weightwise/thickness I could even include one of the DC digests that you need (but not as a freebie  ). So does that mean that all this time you've been growing your collection strictly with UK sellers and dealers?  From 1978 to 1981 all my comics came straight off the racks or from Jumble sales (a type of fleamarket). In around 1981 I discovered my first LCS (Interstellar in Stoke on Trent) and started on back issues which was superseeded by Fantasy World in Hanley. In the 90's I switced to getting many of my comics at the Golden Orbit Comic Fairs that run most weekends in the UK. Until about 2002 I only ever placed 1 mail order with a US dealer (The Avalanche of Wonder). From 2002 I started to order online from Mycomicshop.com and Mile High who both offered free shipping to the UK for larger orders. Around 2003 I started to buy from ebay US but usually only variants and promotional comics that were impossible to find in the UK. Earl.

| Good luck with your hunt, Earl. Obviously I want to get ALL DC books, but I also track by years just as you are doing. I'm striving to finish 1964 right now (5 books to go). 1965-up is complete. I need about 50 more 12-cent books total.
