Popular Post shadroch Posted October 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 11, 2022 (edited) I think THE BUYERS GUIDE for comic fandom, as the logo states, is one of the most important developments in the hobbies history. I'm not sure how much interest there is in seeing it so I will post the front and back cover. If there is intererst, I'll post more later.

Popular Post Dave2739 Posted October 11, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 11, 2022 Got this in the early '90s from an ad in the back of CBG. It was $200 which was a lot for 18 year old me back then. But I think I did pretty good in the end. Still in my collection.
