umpire81 Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 Hello everyone! I stumbled on this site a few weeks ago while looking for scans of old magazines for perusal, and I realized that I have in my own personal collection the vast majority of the issues of Electronic Gaming Monthly that are missing from Retromags. Specifically, I have every EGM from 130-230, most in very good condition. I would be willing to donate these for free if I could guarantee that I get digital copies in return! I'm downsizing some of my physical possessions but want to make sure I can still (digitally) leaf through my old beloved EGMs . I'm not sure what the process is for donating magazines, so I posted this here. Please let me know if there's a better way to handle things. Thank you!

Retromags Curator E-Day Posted October 26, 2021 Retromags Curator Share Posted October 26, 2021 Anything donated will get scanned. It just might take some time. Phillyman already has more magazines than he realizes, and I am working through donations that I received. So if you donated your magazines and they ended up with me, they would get scanned after everything else I have received. But they would get scanned! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umpire81 Posted October 26, 2021 Author Share Posted October 26, 2021 Got it! I think Phillyman is the closest to me geographically, so I went ahead and sent him a PM. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umpire81 Posted November 3, 2021 Author Share Posted November 3, 2021 I still haven't gotten any word from @Phillyman -- it says he hasn't read the message I sent last week. Does anyone have any tips on who else I can reach out to, or how to best make contact with scanners? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retromags Curator E-Day Posted November 3, 2021 Retromags Curator Share Posted November 3, 2021 The only regular scanners on here are me and MigJmz. I am not sure he wants to take on something that large but you never know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melki Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 @Phillyman wrote "I am not accepting any more donations of the big 3 (NP, GP, EGM) until I go thru what I have already" ...so i think your best bet is @MigJmz or @E-Day (it can be expensive to send and takes time but its worth it) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umpire81 Posted November 4, 2021 Author Share Posted November 4, 2021 Thanks everyone for the insight. I sent a message to @E-Dayand @MigJmz to see if either of them are interested. Otherwise I may have to do what @Sivilius is doing and just sit on my mags until there's someone available to take them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swnebel Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 I have a .cbz scan of EGM Issue 147 (the Metal Gear Solid 2 cover issue) but the Download Manager will not let me Submit A File for EGM. I have some other missing issues I can scan as well when I find the time. I'm not sure it's the best scan so I'd be willing to get some feedback, as well.

Retromags Curator E-Day Posted December 29, 2021 Retromags Curator Share Posted December 29, 2021 I have that issue on hand and will be scanning it in the new year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swnebel Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 So that issue does not need to be uploaded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retromags Curator E-Day Posted December 30, 2021 Retromags Curator Share Posted December 30, 2021 No, I've got it and will can it with the other EGMs from the same lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swnebel Posted December 30, 2021 Share Posted December 30, 2021 Are there any missing/non-scanned EGM issues that are needed? I have a lot (but not all) of the issues from the early/mid 2000s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retromags Curator E-Day Posted December 31, 2021 Retromags Curator Share Posted December 31, 2021 I'll have to double check what I have, which I can do once I get back home from Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
