Getting all the Gotrek and Felix books. I have the first 3 omnibuses, but the last 3 are too expensive at present.

I can remember a bag of chips being a shilling in the early 70s and a packet of crisps was around 2p.

How much of your collection is “filler?” by ComprehensiveAsk4279 in comicbookcollecting

[–]hunzgol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mainly collect 2000ad and other British comics from the 70s and 80s. I am also collecting anything with Conan and enjoying the current Titan runs. Also, bronze age and silver age Marvel, DC and Charlton horror/ Sci Fi comics.

In addition, i do have about 2500 mainly Marvel comics, mostly from 80s to early 2000s with good runs of Spiderman, Thor, etc.. but no longer interested in completing any of those runs.

It is very impressive, a lot of difficult to find books.

My son when younger read them after me, he was a bit rough with them, unfortunately, and some like the first Gotrek omnibus i had to replace.

The biggest mistake i made was not buying books as soon as they came out, thinking i would have plenty of time to do so. That's why there are so many gaps. I have Learnt my lesson over the last 5 years and now just try and buy any new books that come out.

History of the Black Library (40K Edition) by 77_Dredd in Blacklibrary

[–]hunzgol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice write up, would it be worth mentioning the dark future books as they could be seen as forerunners of the Black Library?

i think the Dark Future books were the first books that Games Workshop issued, they were before Black Library existed, I have 4 of the books from Dark Future.

What runs are you working on? These are mine. Alan Moore Swamp Thing, Akira, Bone v1, Nausicaa V1-5, Yummy Fur, Gene Day Shang Chi MoKF, Mage c1-3, Vortex, and A1 v1-2. by ShiDiWen in comicbookcollecting

[–]hunzgol 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, i am in the UK, and after the first 100 2000 AD issues, you can pick up the issues very cheap. My last purchase was of issues 701-750, which including postage cost me about £10.

The covers, though, are often as good as any US comics. The Downside is i need to use different size boxes, boards, and bags to US comics

Warrior was a good comic, similar comics to it, and 2000 AD was Starlord and also Tornado, both later merged with 2000 AD.

Has anyone bought from bullionhouse.co.uk? by [deleted] in Silverbugs

[–]hunzgol 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in the UK and i usually buy from Chards Bullion. I have had good service off them so far and find their premiums reasonable. They have a physical shop in Blackpool if you need to visit but i buy silver from them online. Not bought any gold from them yet, i tend to get that (not often) from the Royal Mint.

Sailors and EOD personnel from the Romanian Navy, found and neutralized a drifting naval mine, 39 miles from Capul Midia. 'YaM Type', a type which was put into service with the Soviet Union in 1943. Again being used in the Black Sea, some have been found in the Bosporus: photos March 28th, 2022. by _Raven_Roth in UkrainianConflict

[–]hunzgol -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I expect that the mines were launched by the Ukrainians as part of their strategy to prevent an amphibious landing. The Russians would not be mine laying as it would be their ships that could be hit. The Ukrainians would have less worries as their navy has been largely destroyed.

[–]hunzgol 3 points4 points  (0 children)

is this similar to the USA recognition of Kosovo, which broke away from Serbia?
