Do you collect magazines? You, or your child, your husband or any family members

I used to actually. When I was in high school, I wanted to collect all of the W.I.T.C.H. comics episodes. I just loved the whole story of it all. But as time went on I got busy that I got left behind the flow of the story. Ive already missed a lot of episodes that I didnt bother catching up. I actually only bought 3 of those for myself. All the rest of the episode on the series I just borrowed from friends and classmates. I also collected K-Zone during that time. It was their first release and I think Harry Potter was on the cover. Im just not sure but I do remember that the cover interested me enough to make me buy that first issue. Then every month Id buy the newest issue of K-Zone. I relate to it more since I am a techie and into cartoons rather than TotalGirl(fashion and girly stuff). I still have those issues and I really want to dispatch them so to speak but when I look at it I change my mind and I keep it. They just hold memories for me and I am a sentimental person. I have 2 and a half years worth of those K-Zone magazines and they are in mint condition. They still have the promo stickers and in their original plastic. I did attempt to collect songbooks with those songs that I really like plus a chord chart of some sort. But that attempt kinda failed cause there are a lot of songbooks out there but there isnt one book that has all my 'favorite' songs. One or two would be missing so I dont buy it. Anyway, as time went on I kinda changed perspective on magazine buying. Aside from the fact that Im starting to be broke(LOL) I kinda viewed them as dust collectors and space occupiers. That's because after reading them, I dont read them anymore. They get "shelved" and forgotten, unless something comes up that would compel me to read them again(which is a rare occasion). So I guess, that's that.

I use to collect magazines when I was a teenager and there are times I still save some magazines but not as ofter as I once did. I use to get the posters out of some of the magazines and put them on my walls in my rooms. Of acters and singers from the 80s. That was such a long time ago.

My dad has every issue of Playboy since 1966. Funny thing is as useless as we think they are they may be of value someday. I know in my dads case he has been offered a nice chunk of change because of the past people who have posed in the magazine.Maybe this is her thoughts.Or she could just be a pack rat like me ,I reference back at times if ,I know it was in a particular magazine such as PC world or Natural health.

Yes I do collect magazine too! Candy Mag, Seventeen, Chalk and Meg. I also have Time Magazine. That is what I have to ask, if she wants her magazine on sale because I will definitely want to see it myself. I am looking for 2003 issues. In our family I am the one who collect magazine. My father collect newspaper to sale also.

When I was a teenage girl,I'd like to collect all kinds of magazines,but now,I grow up,I am not keen on doing that,computer is everything,I haven't bought magazine for a loog time,so I don't collect magazine now,so do my family.

I also loved collecting magazines. When I'm not married yet my favorites were: Cosmopolitan, Seventeen and Yes Magazines. I love looking for new fashions and tips how to beautify your skin, although I don't do it. Now, that I'm already married and have a kid on my own my favorites were: Good Housekeeping and Smart Parenting. It's great that I have this magazines, because it guide me in my everyday living. I got many informations like how to overcome common problems for first time mother like me.

I know someone who likes to collect magazines. She all different kinds of them in different varieties. I am not sure why she subscribes to so many. she will run out of room for them eventually.

Your niece may have an idea there. Those may turn out to be quite valuable, after keeping them a few years. I do collect certain books, but so far, i only have a very small collection. One item in my collection is a 1903 Bible. I look for rare finds at fantastic prices, and i did get that one at an unbelievably low price.

In the past I had lots of computer magazines and they were regarded as my treasure. A few months ago I cleaned my home and I sold them as the paper. I know they were important for me. But right now the computer stuff has impoved a lot and I shall look forward. Even if I store them, I may not read them again. I love China

Hi I do have the same habit, if I purchase any magazine I will preserve it and do not like if anybody destroys the pages. Now I don’t have time to read magazines but I have collection of old magazines like Reader’s Digest, some native language magazine etc. Now I prefer to buy story books which are useful for my kids. Now another fact I am realizing that loosing my reading habit. I don’t have patience to sit and read.

I used to collect magazines when I was a student, later it ended up in saving lots of magazines and finding place to save them was a bit difficulty. Som my mom asked me to throw away them and only keep books. Even now I like to keep magazines, but there is no space. I live in a hostel and we two people share a room. So, I keep them for a small time and throw it out.

well, i consider any magazine as some kind of history. i used to collect magazines like vogue, interview, time, newsweek, wired, etc. but today's internet makes them available. and keeping these magazines will just add to 'junk' that will not be read anymore considering the amount of information we receive daily from the net. we could hardly keep up with events. certainly, for me, keeping magazines these days are not worth the while anymore.

Yes,I have a great collection with Newsweek magazines.Actually I create a book to have all in good situation. Great things happened on '90s. It is very helpful for my cousin who is 16 years old and many times we have advised these books for further information about his classes
