Date Sold 11/11/2018 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. a lot of 8 issues of Classic Images, the magazine first published on June 7, 1962 by Sam Rubin. It was first called "8mm Collector" and the first issue measured 8 1/2" x 13 1/2". It was immediately extremely popular with collectors and by the fifth issue, it went to 11" x 16", and each succeeding issue had more and more pages. By issue 15 in the summer of 1966, Mr. Rubin realized he had limited himself with the title of the magazine, and he changed it to "Classic Film Collector". It would keep that title through the first 61 issues, through the winter of 1978. Starting with issue 62, in March of 1979, he changed the size of the magazine to 11" x 14 1/2". On issue 61 (the last issue before the change), Mr. Rubin tried changing the name to "Classic Film/Video Images", and he used that same title for issues 62 and 63, the first two of the small format, but with issue 64, he changed the name to "Classic Images", and that is still its name today! When issue 66 came out, Mr. Rubin also published a second magazine called "Classic Images Review", which was marked #1 on the cover. Apparently, he planned to have two separate magazines, one with reviews and one with ads, but he dropped it after that single issue (no doubt because the buyers told him to stick with a single magazine). Why was the magazine so successful? Each issue contained lots of heavily illustrated articles about classic movies, along with lots and lots of ads from dealers, primarily from people who sold actual films on 16mm and 35mm reels, but over the years, it has changed with the times and later it added ads from movie poster dealers, including eMoviePoster.com! In an era when magazines keep shrinking and disappearing, Classic Images has continued to thrive, because it offers articles and images available nowhere else, not even on the Internet, and thousands of fans of classic movies eagerly await each new issue (and in recent years, they added a sister publication, Films of the Golden Age)! Note that the items in this lot are from 1992 and 1993. We do not provide a list of these items, but there are images of all of them. Measurements: each measures approximately 11 1/2" x 13 3/4"Condition: good to very good. Learn More about condition grades Titles included:
