Does anyone know how many issues??

[winniescards]

Just wondering if anyone here remembers how many issues there were with the Hobby Insider publication that was out about 10 years ago.
I have 20 copies and I thought I was a subscriber from day one. But I do remember that it was a bit of a hit and miss the last couple months
of the publication.So it is quite possible that I am missing some copies. Thanks.

Winston,

RE - Insider's EDGE Volume #1 - #4 (Published b/t) 2008 - 2011

Here's WHAT I have and obviously missing some copies!

Volume #1 (2008) - only one copy
Volume #2 (2009) - 8 copies
Volume #3 (2010) - 8 copies
Volume #4 (2011) - only one copy

Contact Bruce Findlay (meatmancgy) , if NOT already, since HE was the owner of HI, editor / publisher (Jack of ALL trade) at the time.

Oh man Winston, this brings me back. I have a bunch of these, maybe twelve to fifteen, but I know I didn't get every issue.

Insiders Edge was newsstand quality stuff, Bruce did a great job pulling it all together. I remember leafing through the first few and just being blown away by the quality of both the printing and the content. And most if not all was written by HI members! Myself included for at least one or two issues. Pretty sure the guy who did all the graphics was a HI member too.

I'll have to dig these out again. I bet the price guides in the back pages would be interesting to see 10 years later.

What about some of the center folds?
Some amazing cards were posted by HI members at the time!

I was a subscriber as well Winston. Just did a deep dive into my stuff and came up with 26 copies. If you list the volumes and months that you have I'll see what's left over and post some cover pictures for you. :beer:

It kind of looks like like I have no volume 1 publications.I have all volume 2 and all volume 3 and only one volume 4.I did notice that in Volume 3 that both the March issue has Volume 3 issue 3 and the April issue also has volume 3 issue 3 on it as well.That might be an error and worth a fortune . But the reason I was asking about these publication is to see if any one would be interested in them. It would make a great read for someone that is just now getting their feet wet here on Hobby Insider.If anyone may be interested please send me a PM. I want to part with them all in one lot. Not interested in getting rid of them one here and there.Thanks.

I have 1 and 3 from volume one.
I have 3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11 from volume two.
Here is the opener, notice it's hand numbered out of 25.

Great fun while it lasted, tons of great articles from board members. I believe Mario (screen name escapes me) was in charge of the grapics which were outstanding.
Cheers.
Dan.

These magazines were beautifully done.

I think gomaz received a bunch of extra magazine stock when he purchased the site.

And if memory serves me correctly it was Bruce's brothers company that was printing these up. :thumbsup:
