Aug 2021: an example of the Metal Men annual fetched an extraordinary £520 at the Comic Book Postal Auctions. The contents included Batman #181 with the poster intact and not every copy of the annual has this comic.
Some thoughts from comics' historian and collector Peter Hansen:
1 - The comics in every single annual were all DC comics, no Marvel at all.
2 - The vast majority of the annuals had only uncirculated issues. Two or three only had one of what must have been a return as they had a pence stamp on the cover.
3 - Every annual had six comics in it, with only one or two relating to the title character or group on the cover.
4. Every annual had at least one and sometimes two issues in the annual that did not match with the duplicate annual I have of that same annual. This practice seems to me to be completely random, and I wouldn't be surprised if no two annuals are the same in this regard.
5 - All comics are either 1966, or 1967 DC Comics issues.
6 - No annual had any kind of indicia relating to who published the annuals? and I wonder if DC even knew T&P were doing this?
7 - No annual had a price on it either printed or even a sticker?
