No. This from Wikipedia:

The weekly strip ran until 1993, following Roy's playing career until its conclusion after he lost his left foot in a helicopter crash. When the monthly comic was launched later that year the focus switched to Roy's son, Rocky, who also played for Melchester. This publication was short-lived, and folded after only 19 issues. The adventures of the Race family were subsequently featured in the monthly Match of the Day football magazine, in which father and son were reunited as manager and player respectively. These strips began in 1997 and continued until the magazine's closure in May 2001.

you can always put buyer collects /arranges own courier on ebay surly the cricket bat and the comics would attract serious collectors whom would want to collect anyway

I would think someone would pay decent cash for the cricket bat.

I was also more of a Beano & Dandy kid but your comics & cricket bat could be worth getting valued by an auctioneer. Search on ebay for similar items to get an idea of value. If you have enough & after some reseach you could look into booking a stall at your local antique & collecters fairs. Most county showgrounds hold such events. Meanwhile keep the list updated here. Some folk will buy anything...i often do!!, Guy.
