My Mother in Law worked at D.C.Thomson's  in Dundee and  she brought home the first copies of the Dandy and the Beano for her little sister.   If only she had kept hold of them.   i was speaking to the Manager of the Cancer Research shop in Dundee and they had a first copy of the Beano handed in.  It made £11,000 in Auction.   
So, go and have a good look in your lofts.
