Becoming more and more collectible, an auction lot featuring Judy #1 to 370 with #1 in pretty poor shape and a sellotaped cover went for a very creditable £435 in Jun 2008. Another run of #1 to #138 with the first issue in terrible condition sold for £343 in Sep 2008. A collection from #1-175 in binders was offered on eBay UK for £450 in Dec 2009 but didn't sell.
This set did turn up in the Winter 2011 Comic Book Postal Auctions catalgue and sold for £605. The power of Malcolm Phillips! Well done sir!

In general terms this is a title in demand for its pop content in early 60s issues, particularly anything featuring The Beatles.

Collectible characters: Judy, Nanette of the North, Sandra of the Secret Ballet, The Runaway Princess, First Aid Fay and The Teaser Twins.

A Judy Club Badge was advertised on eBay UK for £44.95. Not sure if it sold. Certainly rare.
