Favorite Magazines (past and present)...

Damn, Zip, what is it with Mom's throwing out your cherished possessions when you go join the military? Not only did my Mom toss my National Lampoon collection, she chucked my mint condition entire set of 1969 baseball cards. (To this day I can't bring myself to investigate what those would have been worth now.

)

Mom also sold all my darkroom equipment at a tag sale for dirt cheap. She did all that in the name of cleaning out old stuff and making room.

I just did a search on the 1969 MLB All-Stars... I suggest you never open this can of worms.

In the past it was Omni and Sassy.

Now it's Bitch and Discover.

I don't think I will but I am still curious what they might have been worth. Can you give me a *ballpark* figure?

Too bad most magazines these days are 90% ads and inserts. 99%, I think, if you count "Popular Science" as a magazine since the articles themselves are advertisements. Suck.

Does 2600 count as a magazine?
