Sometimes it takes a carefully trained eye such as myself to spot the rare gems in a pile of magazines. I saw this auction for a pile of GamePro magazines.....

Now, 95% of those magazines I do not care about, my concern was with the 3 magazines in the top left corner......I know the with the spikey hair is Issue #5 (which I just got last week)......but those other two where I can't really see the cover.....they have me curious.
Contact the seller asking about those issues, no reply
Wait a few days....
Contact the seller AGAIN asking about those issues, no reply AGAIN
Luckily I have some GamePro magazines at my desk at work, So I start flipping through some early issues from 1993, looking for a page that has the back issues.....Nothing in 1993, except for issues from 1992.
Next issue is a Swat Pro from the Fall of 1990 (I believe its in the Download Section also)
Start flipping through......BINGO! I find a back order page that has the early issues on it. So I look closely at the picture in the magazine and see the following
Issue 3 = 10 Packed Pages
Issue 4 = Super Mario Land
Look back at the Auction page......see that is the two issues
Hit Buy it Now!
We are now only missing issue 2 for GamePro!
