The Origanal Blues & Soul Magazine #1 - #23

[dthedrug]

Hi All I touch on the subject of how much the original copies of the BLUES & SOUL monthly Magazine was fetching on RJM (John Manship) MANSHIPS SITE,

As discussed many times over the years, John has a knack of setting the bench mark for sales at all time highs, this ain't a problem, as with GLOBEL and other well established well run shops that sell the best.

They have to work hard to make a profit, even more these Days, So MANSHIPs have the reputation of whatever you buy, you are making an investment, in the very best quality that they can find, of Items that are rare and Pricey even in a VG Condition, and John comments on every thing he auctions, has it;s own cult following, (well it has with me Johnny Boy)

However I really would like to no what John thinks about the prices that gave been achieved for the copies that have been already auction, and what you think,

As the price has risen, what would the insurance valuation of the 1st 23 copies? as there are still more to come I can only make a guesstimate of £3K.

Also my search for #2 is over & with John selling a copy for £193, make me shudder at what all my papers mags Posters and other rare soul memorabilia is worth? maybe John could give us a update on rare Northern Soul related collect ables, as the prices can only get higher, and so far even the best repro, are easy to tell from original items (am I being a bit Naive about this},,

Any way before I finish, I hope John does reply, as a guide to how he sees the future of this area
