I have one of the most largest and most complete model magazine collections in the country, including Flying Models complete from it's first issue under that title in June of 1947 I think it was, and almost all of the Air World and Flying Aces that preceded it, Magazines are fun and very addicting, but not as bad as heroin or crack cocaine! In tracking model mags on eVilBay, I would see some go for really high prices, actually being sold, not asking price, up to and above 100 bucks or more. I would go down to my collection and dig out that issue, and find nothing that was all that special, but maybe it had some one's picture or a beloved relative or something and that would drive the price up. I had heard of the first issue of Model Builder commanding 200 bucks or more, but don't know of anyone that actually paid that. I paid 300 bucks for a complete collection of Model Builder, got the first issue and a few others I needed, then sold the rest off for a nice profit. Probably can't do that these days, but at least I got mine!
Type at you later,
