Wade -- thanks for the offer but I'm not doing it for a few bucks ( or any bucks for that matter ) I'd rather see them preserved as a group .I do like the Garlits thought ................I guess my point is that I'd rather donate them then sell .

Jack,just so you know,some of the early Super Stock mags (mostly 1960's) are worth respectable money.I had a bunch at the E'town swap meet and the vendors almost chewed
each other apart when they saw that I was giving them away for peanuts.I couldn't be bothered negotiating with them.In the end I told them I knew why they wanted them (some
needed violins in the background while they thought they were bull$hitting me).To a tee all they wanted were the ones in mint condition.
If Garlit's will take them that would probably be the way to go.There's a collector in Pa.
I forgot his first name,last name Goyda who can give you an idea of the value of them.
You can probably get a tax break for donating them.And that's a good thing.
