Re: Early (pre-Matchbox) Lesneys

Re: Wanted: Matchbox USA Newsletters

Thanks, Marcel.

Note that I also have many duplicates available to trade, including most issues from 1996 through 2000 plus July 1989 and May and September 1995. I also have extras of MICA vol 10 no. 3 (from 1994) and 13 issues of AIM spread out from 1982 to 1987.
