A few years ago I was daft enough to buy every copy of the ST fact files, I had no idea how many of them there were going to be.

I started reading the first 20 or so and then gave in!

I now have 12 folders with the rotten things in! and the majority of them are still in the packets.

did anyone else have the same experiences as me?
did you manage to read them and file them all correctly?

is it worth me hanging on to them for a few years, then selling them on e-bay?

Well Dax, I never bought those particular mags but did start buying the Unexplained. I gave up too after a while and then they started reprinting them as small books. The problem with all weekly part collections is that you are paying something like £150 for a couple of books that would normally cost you about £15. I keep away from them these days but you never know, someone out there might want those particular issues you have to complete their collection!

Hi Dax

Yes, I was also stupid enough to buy the STFF's. All 19 folders and 304 issues! ohmy.gif

I too started filing them as they dropped through the mailbox, but soon gave up, they now sit on the shelf in the folders but not in order. Haven't bothered to look at the majority of them.

........and mug that I am I'm now collecting the Star Wars FF's sad.gif

Blimey!

glad I cancelled when I did then!

it was a bit of a scam as they increased the number at the end of the magazines, by which point i was running out of places to put them and thought, no they are not getting any more of my hard earned dosh!! tongue.gif

Yes, they increased them to include the 1st series of Enterprise......
