FS: Vintage hobby publications (prices reduced)

[Rob D.]

I recently bought a large collection of vintage hobby publications that contained some duplication, along with a number of issues already in my library. These extras are available for sale and listed below. Unless noted, the prices below do not include shipping. Buyer will pay exact shipping charges, and I will ship whatever way you prefer (I've had good success with media mail lately, and that way is definitely cheapest). After I have your address, I'll find out the exact shipping charge and e-mail you the total cost.

Condition of the publications is strong. Some have been read and might have a mark or two inside or in a corner on the cover. Others look untouched. I've not looked at every page in every issue, but I've browsed through a number of them. Photos available below. If you're not happy after receiving them, just e-mail me to arrange a return/refund. Many of these come from the collection of Jerry Smolin, the consignor of some wonderful baseball programs in the current REA auction.

Payment can be made by check, money order or PayPal. E-mails to reserve take precedent over posts.

Any questions about these magazines, feel free to pass them along.

Thanks, Rob
