  1. Can't you just picture these guys sitting in the office at about 9 pm on a Tuesday night with a near-empty bottle of scotch, writing these headlines??
  2. Ok, these last four are Reese/EmTee Publications. Generally, their titles are tougher to find and are often the most loaded. They are to men's adventure mags as Fox comics are to GGA, to give a loose analogy.
  3. I think the strong opposition to CT, like trimming, comes from it having its roots in amateurs trying to deceive rather than people with the skills of a paper conservationist trying to preserve an artifact with disclosed techniques. If you grew up, let's say, in the bronze age, buying SA or GA back issues you were wary of those sellers who used these approaches simply to make something appear nicer than it was and to charge as if it were of a higher grade. I would think that's where the strong disdain originated -- a practice intended to deceive, not preserve; and one not easily undone in any way that allows the book a return to its previous state (and not doable at all in the case of trimming).
  4. Hoping you missed an ASM 33 If so, take pending scan
  5. Somebody could clean this thread out for $42...lotta good reading on the cheap!
  6. Ok gang, that's it for tonight but I will be back one of the next two nights with the last dozen mags for this thread -- a few issues of Male, and some Reese/EmTee titles -- Man's Book and Men Today. Thanks to all takers and lookers; I Hope everyone is having fun with this material!
  7. Thank you! I was able to grab a cool collection; plenty to share. Lots of "read and release" too among my non-keepers. Apologies to all in advance for any shipping delays...you start to page thru one of these things to give it a check and suddenly something makes you think, "Did I just read THAT!?!?" And then an hour has gone by and you haven't checked another book....
