As for the magazines thats a whole another job I've got to look forward to ................

Hey Jack,are the mags hidden behind the bags stuffed with Silver Certificates?

Ed -- Most of the "Silver Certificates" left during the rotten economy we've had the last two years ..........good news is there is less to move around !

Michael --Great idea but a bit bulky to keep on for hours at a time -- I think I'll just use some of those paper filters -- at least some of the stuff can't get in .

Jack,
If you get a good brand (from a paint supply place, not from Harbor Freight) they are pretty comfortable and can be worn all day (but you'll have funny lines on your face). I actually wear mine doing yardwork, including mowing my 3/4-acre yard. I'm sure it looks goofy, but it beats the asthma attack!

Hope you thought of a "strategy" to avoid collecting future issues.......
They are much smaller now but we are getting older.....
I also have to get stronger glasses to read the current print.....

If I had the money I've spent on car magazines since 1954, I could pay cash for one of those new 2008, supercharged, intercooled, 4-valve per cylinder Mustang "STOCKERS" that enjoys such a generous HP factor...

LOL!!! "Foresight..." I never was blessed with much of that.

Yeah, but you can't put a price on the enjoyment and education your received from them.

I know you don't want to split them but I would love to have a few issues that feature events from our old track. We are having a Reunion later this year.
