Pheeeuuw!,

a seller at Ebay offers his entire collection of 8mm magazines

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160107471237&ssPageName=ADME:B:SS: US:1

The starting price is quite high but luckily he placed 60 photos something that we can supersize it if we want the close-up. And the details are so good so we can clearly read those catalogs.

It will be worth for someone who wants to start the history of 8mm.

cheers

ERnie, I have the last issued CASTLE catalog from '76 which is ideal for perfect reference to anyone's collection, also an earlier one from 1969 - Traded two from the 50's in Syrcause - I also had alot of 8mm Collector and Classic Film Collector, and sold them - Had I the spare cash, I'd absolutely go for it because I know what information is entailed therein; Fabulous writing, care was given to both the films and their creators - Really wonderful material here - Ah well, unless I catch the lottery #, Shorty

Trades are always welcomed [Wink]

I found some other film collector peridoicals too! Including Classic Images Review and Film Collector's World. The latter two are mostly cover pages and scattered pages not entire issues but they have a lot of cool images and films to look at and read.

Back to the old magazines topic.

Do you think in the old time era, in that sort of magazines there would be such complain/critics about fading color and soft prints.

Or people at that time tended to take any prints for granted?. And those complains appeared now since we have such Derann's wonderful prints as the benchmark?

your comment please,

Those magazines did not sell. No surprise at a starting price of $4.58 each. They might sell better if listed in lots of five or singles. They have been relisted with an opening bid of $175.00. [Eek!]
