caddymanThe Carpathia has achieved TV.
I have to say that I am impressed by Action Aerials yet again. I used them to fix the aerial back in The Athenaeum and they did a bang up job then. I only emailed them late this morning, just before noon and they have been, installed the antenna and gone by 4.30 this afternoon. Reasonable price, too, £124 including VAT.
I have started going through my comic collection. I threw away a heap some years ago, but there is still the vast bulk of twenty years' collecting in various boxes around the place. I'm not going to read the vast majority of them again, so it's now just a case of sorting the wheat from the chaff. Twice, in fact. Once to find the ones I wish to keep and a second time to try and identify what, if any, of the remainder might be saleable and what may as well go to the recycling bins1. The upshot is, that once I have sorted and refined, I shall have some - a lot - of comics left over. If I post up lists in due course, is there anyone on my friends list who might be interested in having first dibs at some old issues? There be some Sandmans, Hellblazers and stuff. Lots of Superman and Batman and other stuff.
I am keeping the first edition, first printings of Watchmen and The Dark Knight Returns plus one or two others in similar vein, but there may well be stuff people fancy hoarding. I get to keep my run of silver age Fantastic Fours.
Are there any good online price guides, or am I going to have to splash out on a copy of The Over Street Price Guide, or whatever the UK version is called?
1Ironically making other copies just that little bit rarer and therefore more collectible

I got 35 quid for an incomplete set of Imagine magazines and if I ever find my copy of White Dwarf with the message to Brian Ansell that will be going onto eBay too.
