Hope it's worth a mint, and you make enough for a trip to New Zealand, or something.
I do some probate, and have spent some time helping people liquidate estates which often include impressive collections of something. In my experience, sports card collections are seldom worth enough to justify an auction, and are often just tossed, or sold in bulk for a minimal price-- even though some version of a blue book tells you the collection is worth $100,000. There are a very few cards that someone will actually pay huge amounts to obtain, while the vast majority have some "value" stated in a blue book that nobody will apparently actually pay. But, I've never had to try to unload a magazine collection.

>As a charter subscriber and (eventually unpaid) contributor, I'd wait for newsstand issues. That way you know they really exist. If I wait for the newsstand issue they're always gone before I can get to them. And since they only come out every 2 months solstices if I miss it, it's gone. Fixed it for ya. If FS mag was a student, we would use the term "spotty" to describe their appearance in class. *Great* reading can be had when they get them out, though-I have a few issues that I go back to over and over.

One pet peeve I have with the magazine though is their tendency to print black text on a colored page. They pick stupid dark colors and you can barely make out tje text. I'm fine with the artsey colored paper so long as all the text stays black on white.

That's what happens when amateurs run a magazine. Suddenly everybody's a designer or an art director.
