I have no idea what to ask for these. Open to reasonable offers from Balconeers. Of course, I can, and will provide issue numbers and condition later today, and can provide photos if anyone is interested in such. Edited by rodney, Sep 29 2009, 07:00 AM.

That worked out to something less than ten bucks per issue. But they were in stunning condition; many had never been read. I've seen individual copies go on eBay for between five and ten bucks each.

Slight yellowing of pages. TEMI 7 VF++ read copy, with very slight yellowing on edges. Very clean copy. TEMI 11 VF same as above except very small stain on cover, and slight bend on corner. TEMI 13 VF+ slight bend in upper corner, similar to 11, but no staining. TEMI 21 VF obviously read, but very clean. TEMI 27 F read copy, clean, but slight page seperation, about 1/4" of inch at top Serial World 18 F slight stain, maybe 1/4" round (almost looks like pizza grease, does not really distract from enjoyment) on pages 9-11 Serial World 19 VF+ a nice crisp copy, though read. Serial World 20 VF about the same as issue 19, but a bit more worn. Just a bit. Serial World 28 VF color issue, with very slight creasing due to being read. Very nice issue though Serial World 29 VF same as above Serial World 30 VF same as above $5 each, or all 12 for $50. + shipping. Will be glad to provide photos if asked.

I have a pretty fair collection already... but not complete, and I really don't care if the missing ones are copies or not. P., if you do buy the collection, why not give a thought to doing the above... if rodney doesn't?? Edited by mort bakaprevski, Oct 5 2009, 06:07 PM.

Well, I braved the cellar, but sheeeeesh watta mess. When I moved from the flatlands back to the hills, I didn't spend a lot of time organizing stuff... 'specially old reading material. At any rate, going through those boxes will probably take a couple of hours... s-o-o-o-o-o, guess I'll have to pass on this oppurtunity. DAMMIT!!
