Think it did, also putting them in a warm oven for a while made them harder.

Also found this, it's a Gary Lineker figure. I think it came from Corn Flakes or something. Had to collect tokens and send away for it.

Inspired by this forum,I'm going to start collecting vintage Mighty World of Marvel comics again! and the Annuals.I'm not the sort of person to keep things in pristine condition,so I shall be getting them from Ebay at bargain prices.
(only the UK 1970's series though) may even extend it to the UK Spiderman and Hulk comics too.bet I can't find a Spiderman tracer plane or mask or stickers which came with the early issues though:cry:

plus Alan Class reprints of Sinister tales,Creepy worlds,Secrets of the unknown and Astounding stories..happy days

as a kid collected the footy trading cards (with the 'magic, invisible quiz / fascinating facts on the back (still got hundreds)

and the 70's Panini sticker albums (remember that feeling when you opened a packet of stickers & there was one of the rare shiny foil club crests inside??)

I still have a tub full of Whimsies (never kept their little boxes though..shame)

I still have my full collection of 'Battle' comics (from issue 1 March '75 to 1982 when I turned 16 & girls became 'more interesting') .
I'm after mint issues off ebay now, with the free gifts, posters etc. Mine are tatty but would never dream of parting with them

Also gonna re-acquire the 'Action' comics (that were banned) & the 'Scream' comics too...fab artwork
