Default Re: nobody here collects old magazines?

I had to kind of laugh when I saw this. I owned a business that dealt in automotive literature for over ten years known as Auto Know here in the Detroit area.

A large part of my business dealt in buying and selling back issue car magazines. I closed the business when I starrted working for Championship Auto Shows, Inc. but being the consummate collector, I never liquidated my inventory.

Bottom line; I have (literally) well over 100,000 car magazines, and many are right here in my basement sorted by make, month and year.

Although I do not currently have any "prime year" issues of SS/DI as I was always able to sell them as fast as I took them in, I do have thousands of other titles.

In addition, being the collector that I am...I have several thousand in my own "personal" collection.

If anyone is looking for a back issue, let me know. If you are a sYc member, I will offer any magazines in my inventory to you FREE if you cover the shipping or I will personally deliver them to the Vettefest shows or an Autorama or World of Wheels show if I am there.

BTW; if it is a "newer" issue of S/S, meaning late 70's or newer, I may have it.

Thanks/BA
