8a001 LOT OF 5 BOUND VOLUMES OF CLASSIC FILM COLLECTOR MAGAZINE '62-78 Classic Images #1-60!

a lot of 5 bound volumes of Classic Images, the magazine first published on June 7, 1962 by Sam Rubin. It was first called "8mm Collector" and the first issue measured 8 1/2" x 13 1/2". It was immediately extremely popular with collectors and by the fifth issue, it went to 11" x 16", and each succeeding issue had more and more pages. By issue 15 in the summer of 1966, Mr. Rubin realized he had limited himself with the title of the magazine, and he changed it to "Classic Film Collector". It would keep that title through the first 60 issues, through the fall of 1978. Starting with issue 61, in the winter of 1979, he changed the size of the magazine to 11" x 14 1/2", and first changed the name to "Classic Film/Video Images" for a few issues, and then with issue 64, he changed the name to "Classic Images", and that is still its name today! Why was the magazine so successful? Each issue contained lots of heavily illustrated articles about classic movies, along with lots and lots of ads from dealers, primarily from people who sold actual films on 16mm and 35mm reels, but over the years, it has changed with the times and later it added ads from movie poster dealers, including eMoviePoster.com! In an era when magazines keep shrinking and disappearing, Classic Images has continued to thrive, because it offers articles and images available nowhere else, not even on the Internet, and thousands of fans of classic movies eagerly await each new issue (and in recent years, they added a sister publication, Films of the Golden Age)! Note that this lot consists of five bound volumes containing the first 60 issues of this historic magazine (the ones before the size and title change; see above)! The first bound volume has 20 issues in it (because they are smaller in page count), and the next four volumes have 10 issues each. Note that in January of 2016, we auctioned bound volumes of the first 61 issues, but those were not these, and came from a different source!
Measurements: from 11 1/2" x 16 1/4" to 11 1/2" x 15 1/4"

Condition: very good. The magazines are in a bound volume. The pages are slightly darkened around the edges but are not particularly fragile at all, and they can easily be looked through and enjoyed. There are a few interior pages that have creases or tears (because someone looking through them caused that), but otherwise all five volumes are in really nice condition! The magazines surely look very similar to how they did the day they were printed.
