Mouldy old comic found in UK attic worth "hundreds"
A SCRAPPY old comic book found in an attic is now worth hundreds due to four numbers on the back.That's all? Well, they did say at least one was in shabby condition, unfortunately, otherwise, even in UK currency, it'd surely be worth at least a million pounds or so. But seriously, I wish the folks who discovered these items would donate them to a museum instead, because stuff like this deserves to be seen by everybody, and not just locked away in vaults. And if the comic is only worth something simply because of numbers printed on it, that's got to be pretty odd.
The weathered comic book is part of a collection of vintage items found tucked away in a creepy house in Toddington, Bedfordshire.
The valuable comic could now fetch hundreds of pounds due to four mysterious numbers inscribed on its back cover. [...]
The item was found among a set of vintage Disney books printed over five decades ago - featuring beloved characters and stories.
Pictures show a brightly coloured comic page titled 'The Toppex and Buzz' dating back to September 6, 1975 amid decaying furniture.
He also found Disneyland comic books from the 1970s from popular fairytales - including Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Rapunzel, Beauty and the Beast, The Sleeping Beauty, Handel and Gretel, Puss in Boots and The Frog Prince.
The children's book series are believed to have been published from 1970 to 1975. [...]
They become extremely popular among nostalgic collectors as the are extremely rare to find.
The Disneyland memorabilia could sell for as much as £250 on Ebay.
And no doubt, those Disney comics could represent great eras long gone, when storytelling for children was a lot more honest and tasteful than the sad quagmire it's become since the company went woke in the past few years. So if they're going to be sold to speculators, on eBay or otherwise, that's also a shame, because again, they'll only end up in a storage where nobody'll see them. Which would actually enforce a perception that nobody cares about the entertainment value, even for children.
