In my collection I have a copy of prog 189 with a comp slip fixed to it with a paperclip. I don't know what the story is behind this. The comp slip says:

ipc magazines
with compliments

Tharg (signed in green felt-tip pen)

Then the address at King's Reach Tower

Is this worth anything (beyond the value of the prog)?

There will be trace thrill power in that clip!

Hard to put a price on it I suspect - I imagine a distraught Earthlet wrote in to say he had missed his regular prog and Tharg swooped to the rescue- might even be a letter about it in a subsequent prog!  How did you come by it?

I bought a collection of 2000ADs on Ebay and this was included. As I remember, the seller was a relative of the original owner who was clearing out their stuff, so they didn't know anything about it.
