    Has anybody seen this Doctor Who collectible before?



    Back around '89, the Dr Who USA tour came to Harrisburg PA and members of the local fanclub, Two Hearts Ltd, helped out, myself included.

    Among the trinkets being sold were these Lionheart (the BBC in America, at the time) DW promotional booklets die-cut in the TARDIS' shape designed to sell the program to local PBS stations.

    Has anyone see this before or know if it's a rare collector's item?

      At 8 pages long, it's more a booklet. It has a brief history of the show and premise along with a few pictures and mentions the latest and not yet seen Doctor -- Colin Baker!

      edit: That is, 6 'leaves' inclusive of covers.

      I take a couple more inside pics & post.

          thats really cool.

          to the right person I bet it might be worth a few bucks

          because these are probably impossible to find in the UK i'm wondering if it might be worth more to collector there that must own EVERYTHING

                I saw your Who Tour pics on FB via the other thread. Very cool and much like my own pics of the event (that trailer didn't lend itself to good photographs).

                After I'd left the stand, I heard the gentleman running the tour allowed someone (local club member I think) to wear the Cyberman costume to interact with people and sit in Bessie (a few rides were given as well) which led to some bits of the Cyberman costume sticking to Bessie's seat (?!) which had gotten quite warm in the summer sun.

                    Yeah. Thanks! I had to push the levels in photoshop to get a hint of the mannequins behind the plexi-glass.
