My brother used to buy the Xmas Giles edition for my dad

My step dad used to collect those, I just didn't find them funny at all, a bit like the Peanuts comic strips, I just don't see attraction at all.

1956, 1957, 1958.

Got all the football programmes from that era as well.

All in a suitcase upstairs.

1935 cup final one, my dad was there when the Owls beat West Brom. 4-2.

Also the first game Man Utd played after the Munich disaster.

 

If you ever have a mind put them in a specialist auction. They'll probably give you a broad idea of what price to expect before you decide to sell.

My Beano and Dandy annuals are long gone. But years ago I acquired about eight Beano and Dandy annuals in pristine condition. I wrapped them up and put them in a cupboard above the wardrobe to sell one day. 

Time went on, we had a baby boy, and three years later another!

As time went on and they got to an appropriate age I got them out of the wardrobe and gave them to the boys, how could I not? My eldest boy loved them to death and read them many times, ongoing really, and my youngest boy too when he got a bit older.

Those books were so valued that they traveled 10,000 miles with us in a shipping container. (We weren't in the shipping container!) When my wife and I separated and divorced there was obviously a big clear out of what was not needed but the boys aged seventeen and nineteen still have those Beano and Dandy books...

I know, often wonder if their worth owt, same with my coin collection.

But I can't be bothered cus I don't need the money.

I'll pass em down to the Grandkids when I'm gone, if their worth owt they'll only increase in value.
