    I've looked locally and there's not a lot- eBay looks decent, but I figured I'd post a thread and ask around to see if you guys have any places you've bought from.
    I'm talking The Ring, Boxing Illustrated, World Boxing, Boxing Annual, Fight, Boxing and Wrestling, whatever.

    I´ve had some problems with Ebay but I don´t think there is anywhere else.

    I got a package from Auz once, I think the guy payed $38 Auzzie pounds or dollars for less than half of that load before Covid, might cost more now... maybe $100 or less, but I'll be kind on the Price, let me look out what I have exactly and get an idea of weight...

    give me a day to get back to you, my Daughters here with our new grandson and her dog, lol.

    I'll get back to you soon.

    I've got them in 5 thick clear plastic bags, I'm guessing 20 lbs in weight or less.

    I will look into Shipping costs, for up to 30 lbs, which of course they Don't Weigh... I'm not very savvy finding all that info quickly like younger people do online, but I will let you know asap here.

    the info I'm getting is about £60 or so for Shipping/Postage...

    Contact me and we can talk Price and I'll tell you how many Newspapers/Magazines you'd be getting exactly, but my guess is there must be 300, 400 or better.
