I've almost completed all of the series, just missing an issue here and there. Like most collectors I picked up everything I found, whether I needed it or not, and ended up with a couple thousand duplicates. I am always in the market to swap them for issues I need. Unfortunately, there seem to be few collectors looking for them any more.Tom Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05594257113339405939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668066.post-38960345872987296652014-02-14T07:26:55.082-06:002014-02-14T07:26:55.082-06:00I read AMAZING STORIES, June 1958 when one of my J...I read AMAZING STORIES, June 1958 when one of my Junior High teachers gave me a shopping bag full of SF magazines.
