Lone Wolf and Mo
At the end of August, Mo and I found several bundles of the New York Times Magazine on a curb around the corner. We brought all the bundles back to our apartment—about 100 magazines total, I think, dated 1976 to 1996—and have since enjoyed browsing them in our leisure time.
Yesterday I read the May 17, 1992 cover story by the late Spalding Gray — an early edited transcript of his Gray's Anatomy monologue, with a pithy sidebar about Gray's riffy creative process — and the September 11, 1994 story (not a cover story) on Shannon Faulkner.
Mo and I have thought about trying to sell some of the NYT Magazines on eBay, but there doesn't appear to be a market, yet, for issues published within the past 50 or 60 years.
We'll probably keep a few (such as the Shannon Faulkner issue), scan or tear some pages out of a few, and give the rest away. Let me know if you'd like me to mail a few to you. Suggest a year or years (or topics) if you like. There's an early 90s issue here, for example, that celebrates 50 years of NYT crossword puzzles. I'm sure someone else could appreciate this issue a lot better than Mo and I could. We also have three up-for-grabs May 1979 issues of the New York Times Book Review. Skimming these, I discovered that my birth year, 1979, was the International Year of the Child.

Anything comedy-related. Interviews, club closings, HBO specials. Luke and I would appreciate it!
