At the time of the fire, (to the best of my knowledge, a legit fire loss and no scam) there was whatever they had laying about the New York office, and that's about it.
Before the fire, our inventory was never kept reliably, which is why we had issues "sell out" when there were still lots of the particular issue around. Then we'd locate copies, but the prices had become artificially inflated because we had thought we were really down to the last issues. When more copies were located, it was easier to maintain the "sold out" fiction than to say, sorry we are insufficiently_thoughtful_persons who can't keep track of our back issues. The fire produced our first legit (and much smaller) inventory numbers on back issues.
