I am trying to put together full sets of Big League Magazines as a birthday present for my dad who has been collecting the mags since 1978.

I want to put together the full 1976 and 1977 sets. I have most of them from purchasing on EBAY but are still chasing the following issues. The mags need to be in very good condition with all pin-ups intact, no pen marks, tears, creases/folds etc. I understand there will be some small creases near the spine and browning of pages due to age.

1976
Issue 4 - Mal Reilly (Manly) pin-up
Issue 8 - Greg Pierce (Cronulla) pin-up
Issue 9 - Terry Randall (Manly) & Tom Raudonikas (Wests) pin-up NO LONGER REQ'D
Issue 14 - Wests Team pin-up
Issue 15 - Cronulla Team pin-up NO LONGER REQ'D
Issue 16 - Parramatta Team pin-up NO LONGER REQ'D

1977
Issue 1 - Graham Eadie (Manly) & Ray Higgs (Parramatta) pin-up NO LONGER REQ'D
Issue 3 - Mark Harris (Easts) & Bob O'Reilly (Penrith) pin-up NO LONGER REQ'D
Issue 4 - Ian Martin (Manly) & Steve Mortimer (Canterbury) pin-up
Issue 8 - Martin Raftery (Cronulla) & Rod Reddy (St George) pin-up
Issue 11 - Norths Team pin-up NO LONGER REQ'D
Issue 14 - Newtown Team pin-up NO LONGER REQ'D
issue 16 - Easts Team pin-up NO LONGER REQ'D
issue 18 - Gary Dowling (Canterbury) & Trevor Ryan (Balmain) pin-up NO LONGER REQ'D
issue 19 - John Donnelly (Wests) & Kevin Stevens (Easts) pin-up NO LONGER REQ'D

Issue 22 - Keith Harris (Norths) & Ray Price (Parra) pin-up NO LONGER REQ'D
Issue 23 - John Berne (Souths) & John Dorahy (Wests) pin-up
issue 24 - Dennis Bendall (Balmain) & Russell Fairfax (Easts) pin-up NO LONGER REQ'D
Issue 25 - Fred Pagano (Newtown) & John Chapman (St George) pin-up NO LONGER REQ'D
Issue 26 - Mark Hughes (Canterbury) & Graham Olling (Parramatta) pin-up NO LONGER REQ'D
Issue 28 - Tom Mooney (Manly) & Arthur Beetson (Easts) NO LONGER REQ'D

Issue 30 - Denis Fitzgerald (Parra) & Bill Mullins (Easts) pin-up NO LONGER REQ'D

I have purchased mags on Ebay and paid between $15 and $30 an issue so if anyone has any of the above and are willing to sell then i would love to hear from you. Feel free to reply back here or contact me directly on 0412 023 839.

No responses!!! Well I guess OZcarders are more into card collecting LOL
Anyway, hopefully someone reads this list and has a few of the issues lying around.
 
Ok, it would be great if you can check and let me know.

I do only want to buy issues with pin-ups included and no pen marks throughout, no tears, creases etc. I am after a certain condition as I am putting a binded set together for my dad.

If you have the time to check that would be awesome and feel free to call me on the above number in my ad.

Thanks, Sports Nut, much appreciated. I have updated the above list of wanted.
You wouldn't have those issues for sale, do you?

Sports Nut - I was lucky enough to just purchase issue 28 (1977) off Gumtree.
For your information, the pin-up is Tom Mooney (Manly) / Arthur Beetson (Easts)
I am slowly getting the required issues and have updated my wants in the original list. I hope someone on here can help.

David, I am concentrating on completing the 1976 and 1977 sets as listed but also let me know if you have any 1975 issues in good nick with pin-ups intact as I might be interested in them too.
