Date Sold 1/31/2016 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. a lot of 4 bound volumes of Classic Images. They are very nicely bound, and the spines tell the name of the magazine and the issue numbers in each volume. This is an amazing offering of four bound volumes that contain issues #62 through #103 of this magazine (complete, with no missing issues), all professionally bound. They were owned by a library that "deaccessioned" them. Any of these issues are scarce and prized by collectors. Trying to collect all of these issues would be very difficult and might take many years, but the high bidder on this auction will own them all! Of course, Classic Images is 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 61 issues, through the winter of 1978. Starting with issue 62, in March of 1979, he changed the size of the magazine to 11" x 14 1/2". On issue 61 (the last issue before the change), Mr. Rubin tried changing the name to "Classic Film/Video Images", and he used that same title for issues 62 and 63, the first two of the small format, but 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 the items in this lot are from 1979 to 1982. Note that we are also offering, in a separate auction, four bound volumes of Classic Film Collector that contain issues #1 to #61, which are from 1962 to 1978. Measurements: from 11 3/4" x 14" to 11 3/4" x 14 3/4"Condition: very good to fine. 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. The magazines surely look very similar to how they did the day they were printed. Learn More about condition grades Titles included:
