Back issue buyers: What treasure did you get?

In a box marked "TREASURE" I got my back issue super deal today. At first I thought I might be disappointed as I already had the first 3 issues in the box, but, oh man, the issues just got better and better. Those 3 will go to a buddy, but the others, I can't wait to read. BTW, GRM didn't make a killing on this deal. It cost me $20 for 20 issues and the postage was $11.30. It really was a deal.

Thanks.

The issues I got were:

Sept/Oct 93 Vintage Jags, Pike's Peak

Sept/Oct 94 Porsche Club Racing

Nov/Dec 94 Budget Hop ups

Jan/Feb 95 Rally special, Lotus Elan

Mar/Apr 95 Rent and Race, project Miata and BMW

What'd you get?

Was it really marked "Treasure"? That's awesome!

"Treasure" is cool.
Other ideas to Gary in the future could be...

Discrete Packaging
Does not contain Adult Sex Toys

or a more honest approach

Adult
Book Store Materials

In reply to Appleseed:

Quick, he lives at 46something Mcsomething. Let's get him!

Thanks to the kindness of Jeff, aka Protege2886, I am getting a box, too. I am hoping for a January 1997 - that's the year my son, the uber-car nut, was born. I think that would be a cool gift.

Wish they could've done it to Canada, but the postage is so expensive I'm not terribly surprised.

I wonder how long the back issue supply will last? I do intend to make a tire and parts run across the border next month...

Thanks to aussiesmg at a meet last year I'm still working my way through a HUGE stack of back issues, GRM and CMS as well. Oldest I've seen so far is 12/2007. I'd be curious to see some of those 90's issues.

I saw a pic of Dave Wallens in a 95 issue were he looks like Ben Stiller in a fire suit.

Added this to my cart last week then thought I probably will never read them and the 20 bucks will better be spent on lunch. Then I read some of the titles you got and well.. I ordered the box.

Hoping I get some interesting ones!

By the way, I just signed some random issues. Not sure if that helps or hurts things.

Mine came in Saturday. It was a heavy box. The mix was 4 duplicates in the box( 2 copies of the same issue twice), 3 more recent ones I already had, And the rest was Pure gold. So 7 eh, and 13 gold. Very happy with my random box of treasure. Oh, and the issue on top was a Challenge issue with my Fiero in it.

Did you sign your name, or somebody famous?
