Apologies, Jack.  This was claimed before and I was slow to clean up the thread.  The digests are yours, though.  The best of the bunch is that October issue and that's an unusually nice copy!

This is the last bunch for this thread.  Let's start big with something extremely desirable.

Edgar Rice Burroughs, Tarzan At The Earth's Core, Canaveral Press, 1962. A Fine copy in a Near Fine dust Jacket. Classic Frank Frazetta pen and ink cover, frontispiece and illustrations throughout. Tough to find a much nicer copy, this one is clean and bright and looks pretty close to new with a protective sleeve around the dust jacket. $200  Sold to mstrange
