No One Wanted These, Either?

So, you all saw this earlier this Spring, right?  In it, we saw some great material that just wasn't generating much buzz on the Craigslist Interweb.  Why didn't people jump at it?  Hard to say, must just be the old wrong place/wrong time song and dance.

Here's another sad story of a misfit toy that didn't find a new owner.  I can't imagine just why.  These basketball card collector's magazines from the early 1990's should have been a must have for any collection. They were found, forlorn, in the book pile at the church rummage in Davenport on "dollar-a-bag" day.  These were kept in good condition for all the years, and I thought they were beautiful, as you'll see after the break.

When moving time came, I couldn't justify keeping all the hard copies, so I scanned all the good images in the mags and put them up for sale.  Twice, I got an email of interest (from the same person) and twice I was stood up after setting up a pickup time.  That was in my early days of Craigslist-ing and still trusting of interweb humans in general.  After these two stand-ups, I decided to keep the magazines with my comic books, space be darned!  Luckily, I still had the images, and now I share them with you.

Comment below if you would have coughed up 5 bucks for a collection like this... not that I'm selling them, though.
