Does anyone know where to buy back issues of Penny-Wise?

NeophyteNumismatist

I am a member of EAC, and I love reading the Penny-Wise articles. However, I am a newer collector, and I would love to read them all the way back to the beginning. I know that they are available on the NNP, but I like paper books (I know, I am not hip). Does anyone know where I can buy the back issues? Are there bound volumes by decade like there are in other journals?

If someone can point me in the direction of how to get my hands on them - I would greatly appreciate it.

they are there

Yes. I have seen a few listings of random issues, but no where to buy all of them. There are much more ads for things with demonic clowns from Steven King books.

Try restricting the categories. I doubt Penny Wise the clown will be listed in numismatic literature.

If you use the minus sign - in your search on ebay it will eliminate much of what you are seeing.

Example: penny wise -clown -king copy & paste that and see what you come up with

You can define it further by adding -mask or -costume

Do not use a space between the minus sign and the key word you are eliminating.

I found a few listings, but not the treasure trove I am looking for. One of the listings were for Breen's hand-typed and hand written notes. I would be scared to touch those with my bare hands. Gross!

Do they sell CDs of back issues?
Here is one on eBay but not sure what is in it.

Yes... I have seen the CDs, but I am really looking for paper copies. I can also find the digital versions for free on the NNP. But, I like to take notes and all that dorky stuff.

Thanks to all, by the way. I do appreciate the efforts and responses.

Can't you just print paper copies from the CD?

Here is an ebay listing for some paper copies if you didn't find it already.

I could print them, but that's a lot of time, paper, and money... and in the end, it would not be what I want. The bound ones (above) are what I am ideally after.

If you had asked me that 3 years ago, I could have given you a set. But I downsized and moved and tossed all of them!

I may have all the early ones. Let me look in the basement.
