I'll get to Issue 1 sooner than later I promise!

I totally agree marktrade. On my site they will be grouped in an "Inserts" category at the issue, magazine and global level. For my own archival mission I'm going that way with the CBR and PDF releases designed for recreating the reading experience, the pages to provide a "modern" reading experience, and the individual elements as the raw primary/secondary sources for citations. But Retromags has its own mission. I'm happy to include them in the release. For this issue four additional images would be needed, two after page 10 and two after page 74. I created test images using Sean697's page blur idea and CBRs with the cropped and blurred options and run all three through two CBR readers. The effect on page numbering is enough to disaude me, but visually the blur option is visually interesting. They could be put at the end but that doesn't respect the physical reality of how the issue appeared while reading off the newsstand. Right now it looks like it's half for inclusion, half for not including/don't care either way. I will put up a second version with the blurred pages in it for anyone interested and if we work out a standard here in the next couple of days I'll make any changes and follow it on future releases. Yeah, Old West is right marktrade lol this issue came from eBay and was in similar yellowing condition as the 1982 magazines I kept laying around from my teenage years. Compare that to my recent Videogaming Illustrated December 1982 which also came from eBay but was sealed, boarded and obviously kept in a different environment. I've been noting my releases in the database when there s significant yellowing so others that have better preserved copies think about replacing my version rather than calling it case closed. Can't wait to get to '90s and beyond magazines, I'm sick of the yellow lol

Thanks for all the feedback. I have not included the subscription cards in the archives, here's an example of one in case that affects anyone's opinion. Unless anyone thinks these should now go in the release is up: http://www.retromags.com/magazines/category/usa/videogaming-illustrated/videogaming-illustrated-issue-12#.Vkk8CnarSCo As always the 300dpi CBR and text-searchable PDF are also available from this stub page: http://vgpavilion.com/mags/1983/12/vci/ I will hunt down those EGM issues to scan pages needed to complete some other archives and then I'm getting to work on my own site. I will be taking breaks to finish up the other issues mentioned earlier in this thread but probably won't have another release for a week.
