Adverts what would you do

[ClOwY]

Hi,
Ive got a few comics(mickey maus/fix und foxi/felix)early 70,s with full page A4 size
Matchbox adverts in them.
Would you cut them out or leave them complete .
Im in 2 minds at the moment,
your thoughts would be appreciated.

I think it depends on the value of the comics to be honest. If they are of no value then cutting out the advert would be of no consequence.

They cost me about 30pence each to me they are of no value

I would look at a few comic websites, some of which will have a forum similar to ours to gauge wether the comics you have need to be kept intact.

Hi Ghosty,
They are all about 20/50p each.

I have the same problem with aprox 100 complete comics with only 1 Matchbox add.
I have a lot loose adds also as those came that way.

I doubt the low value for the comix! I would do scans and leave the comix as the are!

I would leave the comics as they are - puts the ads in context of time and intended audience.
I always thumb through any old comics/magazines at markets looking for Matchbox ads.
They can usually be picked up, like yours, very cheaply.

In 10 years time you could look back and think "Well, that was a good decision" rather than "Wish I hadn't done that".

A framed up page from the comic would have a lot more interest to a collector than just the advert itself.

Thank you all for your comments,
will do what Miller and Tractorboy say
Thanks
