If you find a source, let me know.  I'm a buyer but I haven't found anyone selling them.  Like @moonpool, I purchase my supplies from Bags Unlimited.

I see them on eBay but you have to dig, as eBay wants your search to yield every. single. thing. for sale on their site ... certainly you get a list of ALL types of bags, even the discreet ones for ugly gals. I got 100 poly bags for $10, and the mylars were nearly $1 each, so I saved enough to get another book, and money's tight. GOD BLESS ...

This is the one that has me smitten, been staring at Dawson's lovely daughter here for days.

Ahh... you wouldn't like it. She'd have you mowing the lawn and washing cars while she shopped. GOD BLESS ...

Shiny! RED, woo!  I think it's hard to beat #5 you posted, but the first issue is probably the most sought after?

Are those pretty scarce in any grade, or have I just not looked hard enough? 

Looks like there's just a bit of non-reprint fiction in there but hard to know for sure.  No doubt it's the Saunders covers that are the biggest attraction...

Bookery's last guide had them as "somewhat common" but they sure ain't anymore in my experience. Nearly impossible lately. I think anyone who sees them goes squirreling through the interwebs trying to snap up any they can find.

All 5 covers are outstanding. Here's number 3.

It's kinda "cool" and probably somewhat desirable :whistle:

I know I've been searching! No luck so far.

Only one vintage, but I did complete my Glen cook paperback collection today! Much nicer than the scan.

Two in today.  The Hidden Treasure book is a little odd, it's a G-Series prefix back when that still actually meant Giant, but it's only 256 pages, which is what the 35c doubles were at this point still.  It seems really pricey for the time frame.

The D-340 is the next to last D-series SF book I need.  Now the copy I thought I had in storage should turn up the next time I get out to check.  On a not unrelated note, does anybody have a copy of the D-110 Special Edition of The 1000 Year Plan by Asimov they're interesting in parting with?

I had wanted a decent copy of these since I saw them. The ACE Doubles seem to be out there, but I don't see tons of what are often called "unread" copies. GOD BLESS ...

This one seems to be fairly "gettable". but I got one anyway because I really like the cover for some reason. I'm not sure who the cover artist is, but the style seems similar to whomever did the cover for the recently posted "Contact". GOD BLESS ....

ISFDB has John Schoenherr.  I just noticed you can see the signature on your version, but it's cut off on mine.  Not that I would have been able to identify the artist from "JS".

I've got the earlier edition with this cover:
