yeah i know Tim, i wasn't trying to one up you or anything i just was looking through the back issues of Flex and thought that picture was interesting.

Is that you who is selling the magazines also?  If so, I would like to buy some.

No.  It's Bob Adams' website.  He's the one selling the mags.  I just designed the website and host it for him ($100 a year).  I had already scanned 2000 mag covers for my site.  He scanned another 1000 bodybuilding mags that I didn't own (which I then included on my site) and probably another 2000 vintage beefcake mags for his site.

Awesome cover!!  Was Gaspari actually blocky?  I think his short arms really gave an illusion of that, but I was thinking that if had Samir's or Sergio's long monkey arms he would not look that way.  For his height, he had short limbs.  Compare that to Samir or Sergio who had much longer arms.

Yes Rich was blocky ! still a great competitor . and I have that magazine .

Bob asked me to scan all the British mags i have for his site,so i sent him a couple of hundred pics of Bodybuilding Monthly,H+S,Muscle and Co etc,and also to identify any people on the covers that he didn`t recognise.
Matt,if you want to read about Franks comeback,read these 3 pages i scanned here.
