VGHF offers a magazine subscription where they’ll send out a random vintage issue each month to offload their collection of dupes. Thought it was a cool way to relive the past while supporting video game archival work.
Would be nice, but $46 shipping in 2025…wow
Yikes, you’re right. I was so down for this until it was going to $75+ CAD per magazine. I’m really sad now.
That's awesome! Sometimes I regret throwing out my milk crates full of old Nintendo Powers from the 90s. I miss flipping through those.
Shhhh
I love this idea, what a great way to raise money
Me throwing out 5 yrs of completed GamePro magazines from back in the day.
This is a really cool idea. I love it.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!

I have been subscribing to this for three months now and I love it!
The magazines come bagged, boarded, and sealed with a certificate inside.
I’ve gotten two issues from the late 1990s and one Electronic Games, October 1982!

Are you subbed to the 80s-90s option or to the “surprise me” option?
calliope@retrolemmy.com 3 days ago
The 80s-90s one!

Do you get any demo disks with them?

No, they are just magazines!

Bagged, boarded, and sealed with a certificate? Won’t that just encourage speculation purchasers calling themselves “collectors” to try to resell them at absurd prices in a few years?

Nah, bagging and boarding something doesn’t turn it into something to speculate on.
They do that for storage and shipping purposes.
