I was a huuuge EGM fan, going pretty far back, hehe. And yeah that issue 65 and some of the issues around it were MASSIVE. Great times Oh crap that's horrible @ the USPS increase. Yeah not much better at all as I'm thinking a 17x5x12-ish could fit twice the medium box easily, at not too much more shipping cost. I'll definitely go in partial on the shipping, for sure. Was planning on 20USD-ish per shipment at least anyway, but even that will have to wait a bit for me :( - Just didn't expect these things to weigh THAT much, though I should have known, lol. Consider them Retromags' property though, as far as missing-issues and such go.

A little over a month later... progress! https://imgur.com/a/d8YSS - Gallery of mags.I got everything together, wrapped in cellophane for protection so mags wouldn't slide around on each other (and for general 'compression' to fit in a box), and have done some measurement work. Looks like for managable-sized boxes I could fit one half of these into a 17" x 5" x 12" box, and the other in a 17" x 7" x 12". Problem arises here though. E-Day, if you are in Ontario as your profile claims... shipping simply the 17x5x12 (weighing 28 lb. 15 oz.) to you, via the cheapest option at UPS, would be 50+ USD. I'm ALL for donating but that is a bit much for me right now, not to mention double that. Open to suggestions here; no hurry as the mags aren't going anywhere, I really wanna donate 'em to RetroMags, just can't spare high shipping costs right now. - V

Sounds great E-Day! With as fast as I had to move I did consult the existing Retromags scans to see what all were 'needed'. Some of those middle numbered EGMs are the AMAZINGLY thick ones so I wasn't sure if those were just large in-progress scan projects or what, but since they weren't in the existing Retromags collections, they came with No hurry but yep: figure out what you need out of all of it, let me know and give me an address, and I'll ship them all off on my dime. Love the site/project

So after YEARS of procrastination and a necessity during a recent move, I finally went through my magazines and made lists of what I have (rather: what I -moved-... magazines are heavy, yeesh)... Basically, if Retromags/scanners need any of these to fill gaps, let me know and I'll happily ship them off at my own cost to whoever would like them, for scanning. OTHERWISE, if these issues are already in-hand of scanners and aren't needed, this whole lot (or acceptable chunks; I'd like to avoid too many singles here-and-there) is available to anyone that wants to pay shipping.

Mmm good thought there about the donation box. I didn't mean 'throw away' exactly; would at the least have recycled. And ugh, to post a list I have to gather all this crap together, and then sort it. But I'd have to have done that anyway =) - just not looking forward to it, lol. Oh well, look for that post from me soonish. =) Thanks for the help all, just wanting to make sure what I have doesn't go to waste.

So... am I seeing it right via the WIP site that no scans nor rescans are needed for EGM? (I do see "Missing" ones for GamePro, but nothing for EGM...) I only just now started downloading EGM and it went from #1,2,3 to #33 - I guess the ones in between are just named differently and will show up later?

Hi everyone, I'm new... so maybe looking around more will answer this question... But would you happen to have lists of 'Needed' issues, or issues for which rescans are needed? I ask because I have absolutely TONS of EGMs and GamePros. From late 80s through the late 90s and 00s even. And I will be using your archive to get rid of my clutter (THEY TAKE UP SO MUCH ROOM lol) -- So I don't want to get rid of issues which you DO have but would like a rescan for, as I would happily donate those issues. So... yeah. Looking forward to helping out (I'm certain I have issues you don't =) and cleaning up the BOXES worth of mags I've held onto over the years like some crazed packrat. And thanks for the great site/project, all =) - V
