THIS IS LOT #3 PLASTIC FIGURE & PLAYSET COLLECTOR For 13 years Plastic Figure & Playset Collector magazine (PFPC) was considered the "Bible" for vintage playset collectors and plastic aficionados and remains the premier source for reliable hobby facts and information to this very day. Much of what you read in current hobby magazines is nothing but rehashed material "borrowed" from PFPC back issues. CONTRARY TO WHAT YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN TOLD, MANY OF THE PFPC MAGAZINE BACK ISSUES ARE STILL READILY AVAILABLE! This particular offering is a lot of 12 original back issues. These are BRAND NEW, RIGHT OFF THE SHELF copies! Guaranteed to be unread, unmarked, never-in-the-bathroom editions.
