Thanks for contributing even it it's not on Retromags. I cant wait to see them!

Hey thanks for the reply! I completely understand that these scans wouldn't pass your quality standards here. I promise to whomever stumbles upon this post in the future, that I'll update this thread with links to my uploads to the internet archive so anyone looking for them can find them. I don't have an ETA on when I'll be able to get it done, but hopefully I'll get it done within a month or two. Thanks again everyone, I'm glad there is still some interest in getting these scans uploaded. Cheers!

As I said, I would not approve those. There is visible distortion, blurring, and shadow on the gutter side of the page. We debind almost all magazines that we scan here, not because we want to destroy our magazines, but because it's the only way to get a quality scan. I'm not sure if most people truly appreciate the sacrifices that go into every scan they download from our site (from the relatively small number of thanks we receive, I suppose not.) Don't worry, though, if you do ever scan your mags, they can always be added to the Internet Archive. They don't care about quality (nor about stealing other peoples' scans - so you can upload them right next to their Nintendo Power collection, almost all of which they stole from us. It'll be almost just like uploading your mags to the real Retromags!) Please don't think I'm trying to discourage you from scanning your mags, btw. Your scans might not be a fit for Retromags, but they WILL be appreciated no matter where they end up.

Yeah I definitely don't want to damage or de-bound my magazines. Here are some examples of one magazine I scanned and cropped just in case the quality is anywhere near what you might be ok with? I know the image size isn't too large but I can get a higher quality scan. i totally understand needing to maintain a certain standard of quality when preserving old magazines, and if any mod or admin would be willing to accept unbound scans of the issues that I still have that are still missing 5 years later, let me know and I'd be happy to submit them.

Hey all, I just remembered my password on this account. Just wanted to gauge to see if there is still interest in getting these missing issues scanned and uploaded that I listed in the first post. I finally have a decent scanner now and I think I can knock out getting these missing issues scanned and cropped decently enough to upload on here. Thanks!
