Internet wasn't around in my day, all we had were the Mags and books.

When Peak Training Journal came out, that was refreshing. Gray market supps and gear talk.
Yes, then of course early MM2K was great...

The some Hardcore newsletters hit (Duchaines and Dante's, etc)..



Is that Brad Hollibwahahahaha?   Didn't he die?

The only mystery is which hole it entered him by.

Getbig is full of schmoe geezers, which makes me feel a bit fresh.
I am planning to move abroad and I may need to part ways with my Muscle and Fitness, Flex and MuscleMag collection.
I can keep them at cellar but I don't want to find those ruined with humid and some other surprise.
So do you think are there other old timers willing to pay reasonable cash for those beloved crap?
And it you want me to scan pages from specific issues, let me know.
I am using a mobile app named CS scanner, it is blazingly fast to scan and upload.

How much would like to sell for all the M&F and Muscelmag?

Definitely, also makes me question vast amount of time I invested in those glossy pages.
I could definitely get another undergraduate degree   >:(

Yes, and think of the dollar amount paid at the newsstand (accompanied by occasional schmoedom embarrassment) or via private subscriptions and then try compounding the interest!

I think Joe Biden's gas price inflation has now made this economically unfeasible.  Depending on where you live you might be able to get someone to pick them up or deliver them yourself to avoid shipping.

MuscleMag really tried to balance healthy teenage horny youth with veteran schmoe subscribers.

I am located in Europe, so while Biden is a mess, it is not much different globally.
Even if I can't sell, it motivated me to index them.

I do have one issue of IronMan (2nd issue) that went for 3K on ebay recently. (Someone else's auction).

I have over 2500 magazines from the beginning into the 1980s.  I've been slowly scanning them into PDFs.  Plan on putting them into a searchable database at some point.  Here is an example

I have that 2002 Ironman.

I used to buy that MuscleMeals MRP that was advertised in Ironman. High protein, High fats and low carbs.
