Wink Re: Missing Stock&Super Stock Magazine.

Went up in the attic, little more than a year ago, to look up an article in one of my SS&DI issues. It always bugged me that my collection started with issue #2, Dec '64,, so I decided to pull them all out and see how many I was missing overall. I found that out of nearly 35 years of publication, I was only missing 28 issues,, so that started my quest to get them all. Through swap meets and E-bay, I accomplished my mission just before the holidays last year. Sometimes I had to buy duplicates to get the few I needed, so I have many extras, including 4 #1s. Of course by doing this, I've taken the most mint copies for my collection, and have bagged, boarded and boxed them up. I've also been able to find most of the "Photo Greats" albums and "Poster" albums.
I've always felt that Super Stock & Drag Illustrated magazine was the best at what it did, and I was sorry when it was dropped from publication in '99. I'd love to see something similar take its place, because with all due respect, the current drag magazines out there don't compare to the original article. My 2 cents.
