Are there any fans or former fans of these? I'm sure that there are many who
read these or, as some customers did, have them at the ready to impress. I
read only a few of them. Talk about silly. I found the $$$ for selling them
was far better than the mags themselves. LOL!

When I was in a private high school, 1960's, these mags brought a price to
the seller, of which I was one. Were you or, that is, did any of you buy or
have someone buy these for you?

The Detective mags, i.e. True Detective and other "for men only" mags,
brought a good price.

When I worked at a bookstore/newsstand/tobacco shop back in the late '60s and early '70s we had an entire wall loaded with these publications. I'm not sure that we SOLD a ton of them . . . but we had a lot of them for sale. I think the model railroad, real railroad, cowboy/western rags, and Greyhound Racing Forms sold a lot better. I can't really remember many of the titles, but one of them was "Rogue" . . .

Well, imagine THIS! (The Internet and Google show their worth once again!):
We probably stocked a couple dozen of these titles.
You might think of it as a walk down mammary lane.
(I know . . . I know . . . I've used that quip before, yet when the opportunity to rerun it comes along . . . =)
