Heavy Metal Magazine 1980-2010 with Slipcases, Specials, Rare Variants 0

[Heavy-ish Metal]

Attention: The cutoff for ordering a lot is end of April 19th (in either NA or Europe) as I'll be in the US and have the full collection with me. After that I'll be returning to the UK and will be selling items individually

 

 

I am selling my Heavy Metal Magazine collection, complete years 1980 through 2012, including (almost) all specials, rare variants, a rare hardcover, some newer numbered issues, and original branded slipcases for the entire run.

General info:

• Payment by PayPal preferred (North America or Europe)
• Sale to either North America or Europe is possible, as I travel between both
• Each slipcase holds 12 issues, or roughly 2 years of issues
• Nearly all slipcases are in great condition, with 1 or 2 having some of the vinyl scuffed
• Most of the slipcases have the years contained written on the spine in small print
• 95% of the issues themselves are in the Very Fine range or better.
• All issues are at least bagged. The staple-bound issues are also boarded.
• I'm not a pro grader! I generally have only collected things that clearly fall in the Very Fine (or better) range to make things easier for myself. Please ask for more pictures or specifics on anything you're curious about. One thing I can say for sure: no rips, creases or color breaks aside from slightly bumped corners here and there.

I thought your prices were good.... if I didn't have a back breaking, mind numbing Tax bill on the horizon, I would be a buyer. GOD BLESS....

Would love to sell more of these, especially the "full year" slipcases... don't be shy!
