Looking for The Buyers Guide back issues from 1980's

[Inhuman Fiend]

Since I kept no records, I often torture myself wondering how much I let my original collection go for when I sold it through The Buyers Guide (now known as CBG, Comic Buyers Guide) back in the early to mid 1980's.

That being said, I was thinking it would be fun to see copies of the For Sale ads that I ran back in those vintage TBG days.

I've contacted publisher Krause Publications and while they are in the process of a gigantic project involving the scanning of back issues to an electronic database, they are a looooong way off from getting to the issues I would want to see.

I know I ran a few ads in Spring of 1984 and a few more throughout 1985-1987, but am unsure of the exact dates. So, I would be interested in any of the issues from 1984 through 1987. Anybody out there still own any of those?

I threw out 1/2 of my TBG from that period. What vendor name were you using back then?

My real name, Greg Scharlach...just a poor, starving college student at the time!

I had a subscription every year starting in 1985. When I moved in 1996 I threw every issue from 1985-1996 into a dumpster. They were just too bulky and heavy to move.

 

Wish I still had mine. I would really get a kick out of reading the older ones too.

Anybody have any?

My subscription started in 1984 and never ended, I still have every issue, but as far as getting to them it may take me until spring time to round them all up. One of my goals last summer was to organize them but I had other stuff to take care of first. When the weather gets warmer I will search my attic and upstairs rooms to see if I can get them all in one place. I will bookmark this thread so I do not forget. I do not want to get rid of any of my issues but I can scan or photograph them and either post the images or send an email to whoever would find the info useful.

 

Although I do not post too often, I read these boards every day since discovering this cool site.
