Chuck, Don't plan your retirement on the income from selling your S&T back issues on Ebay... We bought about 40 years worth of back issues on Ebay for $0.99 The seller shipped them in individual plastic wrappers, wrapped in sets of 12, and very carefully boxed. We offered to pay more for the shipping but he refused. And..

Clearly an example of people holding on to traditions that are best left to die off. Jo Quoting Jay Eads <jayleads@gmail.com>:
I know I haven't signed up for either Astronomy or S&T, but I have read one at the local library. I have been reading the RASC editions that are from 2007 and back. There are some interesting articles in there. I believe they have from 1998 to 2007 archived online. I'm sure most know it but as a newbie I enjoy reading the back issues from up north.

I wish some of the more recent amateur astronomers could have experienced S
