MShipley88 wrote:Well, the thing about a fanzine...and this is the thing...is that collecting one or two makes no sense. For a zine collection to really have value, you gotta have all or most of them. I am overmatched just trying to collect the entire Stormbringer line...never mind trying to collect an entire run of The Beholder, or Underworld Oracle. Hell, never mind Dragon.Mark

The SPI collectors are no different than us in that they've got certain holy grails that are rarely seen in great condition. What I find interesting is that the timeline for some of the wargame grails and the D&D grails is roughly the same — say, 1976 to 1981. I've long felt that the late 70s-early 80s was a real golden age for all types of gaming.
