I wish! These old 'zines are super rare and are way under the radar of most of the "collectors" who focus on common material from major publishers like TSR and Judge's Guild. 70s 'zines and small-print publications are incredibly cool and I'm lucky to have a nice little collection of this kind of stuff. I'd like to make more scans and posts, but it's hard to find the time.Bob Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12073807225519106277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2005132770907882258.post-28734814757348016322011-04-30T17:32:18.501-04:002011-04-30T17:32:18.501-04:00Very nice find!Very nice find!Nicolas Dessauxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03010015806129652185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2005132770907882258.post-59790069077052141982011-04-30T17:29:45.005-04:002011-04-30T17:29:45.005-04:002pm?
