Just one more stupid trend that happens on Ebay. People taking apart old motorcycle magazines and selling individual pages.
This is stupid on both ends. The seller is destroying history to put a few bucks in his pocket.
The buyer is getting screwed because they could buy a complete magazine that they can read and that will appreciate in value over the years, and from which he could photocopy any page they choose to make their posters from. In the future they could re-sell the magazine after making copies of anything in it they wanted for free.
The magazine hacks are as bad as those who are buying matching-numbers bikes up and parting them out.
I have a stack of old motorcycle magazines and literature several feet tall from WWII through the 70s, if anyone I know asks me I scan and email pages to them for free if it will help them research their motorcycle.....
