I owe so much of my (former) collection to MCW. It was so exciting for me, getting that overnight delivery.
I remember finding my GWTW plume style in a tiny add. I was over the moon when I called and it was, indeed, the plume style and still available (at a low 4-figure price). Woohoo! The thrill of the chase was my true enjoyment, of the collection.

I was very young but could not wait for the little poorly made, folded typing like paper periodical to arrive. You had to be quick for the deals. This is a foreign concept for those growing up with tech. Hate to live in the past, but it was such a thrill to look through the film listings and try to beat everyone to your wants. It took a little work, but a very satisfying time. You actually had to navigate times to call, etc., and you dealt with a person instead of a keyboard.

I found some ads I had prepared and purchased for many issues. I can't believe what I have forgotten since then. Material I don't remember having, etc. Also looking at prices from various ads it is amazing the material that has appreciated and depreciated in the last 35 years. Also sad to see so many familiar names that aren't with us anymore. Just thought I would share.
