"Lugers At Random" Disappointment

lugerholsterrepair · 06-28-2014, 11:41 AM

Rich, I literally have a 4 foot square pile of boxed up gun magazines from the 40's-50's..a little of everything but mostly NRA mags. I have threatened to haul them to the dump as no one wants them..I just can't bring myself to do it.

Understood. I currently have two feet of Vintage Motorsport magazine ["the journal of motor racing history"] back issues. I sold another two feet to a Canadian collector about five years ago. I've also donated several feet to the Buffalo VA Hospital, but after 9/11 they stopped taking donations.

I don't want to dump them, but it's a small niche that appreciates them.

If Ron's comment on Kenyon's articles [January 1996 through August 2006] is correct (and I have no reason to doubt it) that's 128 issues. They're going on eBay and GB for $5 - $10 each, with a few twofer's here & there...At that rate, if I get 2 or 3 a month, it'll take me a couple years to get all 128 issues...

Cover price was $5 per issue...

I'm only interested in Kenyon's articles, and I'm scanning them for my personal enjoyment...
