[game_preservation] Ebay auction

[Frank Cifaldi]

On that subject, I just put a group together to buy this really amazing
collection of U.S. console magazines to donate to the Library of Congress'
video game archive:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/360579773880?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649

As someone who collects print material, I can tell you how near-impossible
it would be to replicate this set (after more than 10 years, even I don't
have some of these issues).

All of these are also at the Strong, this set will live at the LoC campus
in Culpeper, VA and my private collection will live somewhere on the west
coast when I find the right fit. I know people tend to get more excited
over the actual games, but as someone who actually studies game history
actively, these magazines are FAR more priceless, so I'm super stoked that
these are safe and in the right hands.
