I have been a subscriber to the Blade Magazine since about 1982. It sure doesn't seem that long. I did buy individual issues, even before that. The oldest being from 1978. I am going through all of them now, and they need to go. Here is your chance to complete your collection, and enjoy seeing history in the making at the time it was just happening. I will try to group them by years to make it easier, and list individual months issues of what I have. I will not be able to list them all at once, as that would take more time than I can spend at once. Prices do not include shipping. Here we go.
The following are even before THE BLADE Magazine. These are AMERICAN BLADE
December 1978 $6.00
June 1980 You should see the article on Mel Pardue in this one. He looks like he is in high school. WOW $6.00
October 1980 $6.00
June 1981 $6.00
October 1981 $6.00 You have to see the photos of Buster Warenski (rip) and D'Alton Holder. 25 years changes a man.
1982 - June, August, October, and December - $25.00 for all 4. Great Reading
1983 - June, August, October, and December - $35.00 for all 4. On the cover of the June issue, is a picture of Sylvester Stallone from one of the First Blood movies. Anyway, I waited patiently at the 1984 Blade Show ( this was in Knoxville Tn. if I remember correctly ) to talk to and get the Autograph of Jimmy Lile (rip). He was a very gracious and fine gentleman. I hope a Lile collector gets these. Thanks for reading my story. Sold pf
1984 - Feb., April, June, August, Oct., Dec. - $40.00 for 6 The poem by Bruce Voyles "The Spirit of The Steel" is in here. Great. The old timers were not back then.
1985 - June, April, December ( I have 2 issues of December ) - all 4 $20.00
I will list more later.
