    Wizard Magazine question

    I still have a full run of Wizard.  Man, I loved that magazine.  Sure, it could be a little juvenile at times, but it was always in good fun, and they did a good job making you feel like a part of their stupid little "cool nerds" club.  It was always the first thing I read when it came out, and I have them to thank for my love of the original Valiant comics.  My best friend and I had a blast trying to find all the items for one of their annual scavenger hunts, which was pretty difficult in the pre-internet age.  I mailed away for most of their "1/2" issues and still have a all the cards that came with most issues.  Good times.

    I think it lost a lot of its magic when it went from the thick, squarebound comic size to the regular magazine size.  It just didn't seem as cool or special for some reason.  (shrug)

    Funnily enough, I stopped buying it about three months before it stopped publication, so apparently I wasn't the only one who had given up at that point.  When I discovered that they had ceased publishing, my OCD self had to buy those final issues, of course.  :whistle:

    So are those cards that came with the magazine worth anything today? Asking for a friend :whistle:
