WTB/Trade 1986 Newtype Magazines
Posted: Thu Aug 27, 2020 8:36 am
Hi,
I know this is a long shot, but I thought I'd give it a go. The short version is that I'm looking for 4 specific issues of Newtype Magazine in order to complete a full run of issues. I'm open to purchase, however I am also open to trades. I have a handful of early 90's Newtypes, as well as some 80's/early 90's artbooks, and other misc. vintage stuff. If anyone is interested, we can discuss, and I can send pics of items of potential interest to you.
The issues I'm looking for are:
1986 - March
1986 - July
1986 - August
1986 - December
I'm not picky about condition, and I certainly don't expect any of the extras/add-ins.
Thanks for taking the time to read.
The longer version:
I've had a subscription to Newtype since late 1994, when a Japanese bookstore (Blossom's Books) opened up near my parents house when I was in College. This is when I was the most into anime, so it was a huge rush to pick up the magazines. I was able to find some earlier ones, but not too many. Eventually a Kinokuniya opened up close as well, Blossom's closed down, and I just kept up with the sub. Over the years, as my involvement in anime waxed and waned, I kept up the sub as more of a way to know to myself that I still loved this stuff, even if it didn't dominate my hobbies like it used to. Also, it was just part of my life routine at that point.
Recently I've been getting more and more involved again (perhaps a mid-life crisis ^_^;), and was going through my old mags in the garage. I hadn't consciously set out to collect earlier, but I chanced across two lucky auctions on yahoo japan (while looking for Nadia merch) that filled about 90% of what I was missing. I said what the hell, and decided to make it my quest. I've been able to find all but the above 4 through various online sites (Yahoo auctions, Mercari, Madarake, Suguraya). It's been about a year of watching, and these 4 still haven't come up, so I'm hoping to see if there's anyone in the community that can help.
I'm still not sure exactly what I'll do with the set when it's done. I had thought of putting up scans, etc, but really, the Oldtype/Newtype tumblr excels at that already. Hopefully I'll figure something out to share all the odds and ends eventually.
