Big League Magazines - 1970's

All the dates in the 1976 issues were wrong up until mid-year with regards to dates on the front cover and inside near the index. I am after no 4 which is the Mal Reilly pin-up, you have issue 10 (24-30 April) which is Manly team pin-up which I already have. the cover of your mag should be Paul Khan from the Sharks being tackled by a dragons player.

the best thing to do is look at your 1976 and 1977 issues with regards to the pin-up to see if I need it. I was confused by the dates too as some double up, they obviously had printing issues that year. I had to check with Dans NRL collectibles who also confirmed that they stuffed up a lot of the dates that year. LOL.

Were you able to find any others? Also let me know if you have any 1975 mags, advise the number, date and pin-up

sorry i also need # 18, what issues are you chasing?

18 is the Parramatta Team.

I'm looking for from 1975 issues 3,4, 9, 11, 16, 22, 25 & 27. There are a few others I would like to upgrade as I didn't look after them as well as i should have in my younger days.

From 1976 I need 1, 5, 6, 7, 18, 23, and 28. Again a couple of others to upgrade

From 1977 I need 2, 12, 18, 24, 28, 29 & 31.

Need a lot from 1978,1979 and 1980. I managed to finish 1981.

I'm like you. Fussy about the condition. Posters, no writing or rips and creases. If you come across some please let me know. It's a project i stopped a few years back but after reading your posts it's got me a bit interested again.
