Anyone got anymore, Pamela Gastell? Cheers, Molegogger! Nick

An image of my favourite model, Joan Paul that I found on ebay recently. Have not seen this one here before.

Cleaned it up a bit and made the aspect ratio more correct.

One other thing I noticed on ebay, someone is offering for sale the final editions of each of these mags, and is asking 75 pounds plus postage for each!!!!!!

I noticed this too, Ozprof. 75 quid seems unrealistic, but there does seem quite a disparity in prices offered generally; early copies, that I thought would command high prices, are offered for very little and, later stuff for a lot more. Condition is a factor of course. Nick

Another factor is that the early mags were pretty boring - and censored. Even the stocking tops were retouched. And the gusset of a pair of knickers was taboo. It was only later that the true essence of the TOCO mags emerged - the accidental-on-purpose flash of stocking tops, suspenders and knickers as a girl climbed over a fence or stile. Do stiles still exist, I wonder?

But £75 is absurd.

If 75 pounds were the going rate, I'd sell my collection and become rich! Nick

I'm suprised at how low the going rate on ebay for old S & S's actually is-often around the £1-2 mark. So Mr £75 is almost certainly living in dreamland.

(Although....final issues of mags often have lower print runs and poor distribution and can command higher prices.)

I've got copies of the last issues of Spick, Span, BB and S&S Extra. Someone make me an offer? (Only joking!).
Going back to Donside's post #3669, re Shirley Anne Field, she popped up today in a repeat of a Last of the Summer Wine episode dated 2008. Don't it make you feel old? Still I'll be a pensioner myself soon, where did all the years go?

I'm holding a watching brief on those Toco mags offered at 75 pounds (I use an American laptop and don't have a pound sign) on ebay. If they sell I will be amazed and, possibly rather excited! Nick

Personally, unless the 75 pounds included a dinner date with one of the models featured in the mag, I would say "dream on!"
