Pictures Of Your Magazine Collection

[mikel]

My room is an utter mess right now, but here is a part (about 3/5) of my collection:

^ Impresive

 

[cottonmouth13]

^^Amazing!

 

[Sailor]

Impressive indeed. That The Last Magazine is one of my favorite Natasha covers ever.

 

[jmrmartinho]

Thats a dream. One of the best so far

Mikel I WANT, YOUR MAGAZINE COLLECTION - Insane.

 

[Srdjan]

mikel, you should think about the chemical reactions that are caused by the time. It would be sad if all those magazines, covers and pages go to waste.

 

[lucy92]

mikel, are the people you live with worried about the floor collapsing?

nice collection!

 

[sloosen]

what happens to the magazines with time? How can i look after mine better?

 

[lucy92]

^ i'm not sure if magazine paper is acid free. that could prove to be an issue. most magazines (except for cosmopolitan) are printed on pretty good paper however.

you can make yours look better if you get some bookends and group them together by year/title etc.

[ada_looo]

wow!! you guys are really impressive, so jealous!!
Because I live in HK, there is not much space for me to collect magazines like this, so I just tear the ads and eds or some interviews out and throw the remaining away!!!!
although I want to keep the entire magazine...

 

[Pradable]

OMG HK and its space issues :nono:

 

[lucy92]

if i had saved every single magazine i owned then mine might look like mikel's.

magazine subscriptions are cheap here (usually around 15 bucks for a 12 issue subscription on average - and sometimes you can even get free subscriptions)

i wish i had saved some of my old issues of sassy and raygun magazine - those are particularly valuable these days.

i'm a big believer in recycling and i only have a one bedroom apartment. so i need to get rid of magazines after i read them.

^^i've had to get far more discerning over the years too... I subscribed to Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, W and a few other mags starting in the late 90s, early 2000s and just started purging at one point because they were taking up an absurd amount of space.

I've kept all the W's and a few of the special issues (or the covers at least) of some of the others.

Today I only subscribe to W and Vanity Fair and I recycle the Vanity Fairs while I'm done, and keep the copies of W.

 

[Melancholybaby]

^You have all the issues of W since the late 90's? Jealoussss

 

[ChrissyM]

^^almost! i wish it started earlier, but very late 90s, probably 1999?/early 00s is when it starts.

and i'm missing 4-5 issues from the beginning of 2005 from when i was studying abroad (that includes the issue where brad & angelina had that huge ed for mr and mrs smith while he was still married to jennifer aniston i think... )

 

[jmrmartinho]

I dont know if I should post my clection (yet) even through I have some magazines that Im really happy to have. I just started last August with the international ones.
Im so jealous of you ChrissyM, there are many iconic issues of W and I cant believe you have basicly all of them.

good luck replacing that issue. it usually goes for 25$+ on ebay.

some day i want to buy one of those fancy scanners where you just feed pages through (the feeder mechanism works like a photocopier) and you can scan a whole magazine in under 5 minutes. those cost like $400+ though.

i'm hoping miss mag addict or HFGL will get one of those types of scanners.

 

[ChrissyM]

^^oh jeez
i don't know what possessed me to put my subscription on hold while i was away...
clearly i wasn't thinking..

i don't have my collection here with me at the moment, but i'll definitely check to see where it starts
