All-new higher resolution scan (3200px vs 2200px...and if you want full 600dpi, I have that as well on my archive.org page.)
The previous scan is quite good. Most differences are minor. This scan was not created because the previous one was in need of an upgrade, but simply because I scan everything I own for my own sake. However, since the previous scan was destructively debound, part of each page is missing along the gutter side of the page. For most pages this is simply white space, so there's not much difference other than that this new, uncut scan appears less cramped when in two-page view mode (my scan has been marked in the lower right corner with my profile pic):
In instances where adjoining pages have images stretching across both pages, this new scan shows the complete uncut image as it was printed:
Color differences on most pages are relatively minor, with the exception of a fold-out page of jewel case inserts, which is particularly washed-out/yellow in the earlier scan for some reason and is much more accurately captured in this new scan:
Speaking of that fold-out -- I've moved it to the end of the archive, since (as in the older scan) leaving it in place would cause the subsequent facing pages to not be displayed correctly.
Please note that the smiley face lid sticker is NOT included in this scan. I'm sure I've still got it lying around somewhere, and if I ever find it I'll be sure to add it to this scan, but in the meantime, if you really want it, you can find it in the older scan available here.
I HAVE included a half-page subscription insert not included in the other scan.
And speaking of subscriptions...I apparently somehow subscribed to PSM before it was ever released, since I received this 1st issue as part of a subscription (I know, because I had to remove the mailing label from the cover.) I guess they must have advertised subscriptions ahead of its release in some other mag and I decided to take a chance sight unseen?
