Forza Collection Complete!

Congratulations! If you need an index of the contents, send me a PM.

Cavallino will be a lot harder. Good luck.

 

You will probably save money if you wait for a complete set to come up on eBay. They are out there. I lucked out about a year ago and found issues #1-128 at a used book store. The best part was they cost me all of a quarter each!

 

I have some back issues available including the current issue. I will make a deal on what you want. That's if I have what you are missing. Hit the link from my post a few weeks ago to get the list.

i have been working om my cavallino for 2 years and i think i am missing 50 - 60 but i have 1 - 150

 

I am only short of Forza no 39 to complete my set.

 

This place is real good for back issues of Forza.

Obviously the older issues are more, but for #39 and other recent issues they are quite reasonable... 7.00US plus shipping. Same scenario for Cavallino. My wife just ordered the 5 latest Cavallinos (146-150) for me for Christmas and they arrived no problem and in great shape...

I am missing the Holy Grail Forza #2... still holding out on that garage-sale-find-dream to come true...

As for Cavallino i (now) have from 38 to present with a handful from the 11 to 33 range... just filling in with some lucky ebay finds. Hard to do... but fun looking...

 

Thanks for the link..

 

The Holy Grail #2... All bow to its rarity!

I'll see your complete set of Forza and raise you a complete set of Playboy

 

noice.................

 

I found Playboy the most difficult collection to complete. I started reading the magazine in college, and then decided to complete the collection a few years ago. The earlier issues, starting with the Marylin Monroe December 1950 i believe were very expensive..1200 dollars for a poor example of that issue...A complete set of cavallino wont set you back more than issues 1-12 of playboy. I have collected cavallino, playboy and forza and the fun is in the chase

 

I'm only missing #2 and #10 of Forza. Still looking at used book stores. Forget ebay, prices get out of hand.

 

Cavallinos for a quarter each! Wow! Anything below #20 is real hard, I gave up!

I think I have #11.....

As for Playboy the only old one I've ever purchased was the month I was born, as a souvenier...a strange Ferrari tie-in, it covered de Portago's demise in the MM...........he was going to write a first person article for them, on his race!

 

I might have Forza #2, I'll check, I don't care about it...

Those were the ones damaged in the warehouse right after publication???

 

I HAVE MULTIPLE ISSUES OF FORZA #1 AND #2 AS WELL AS #3-20 BUT SINGLES OF THOSE WHAT ARE THE OUTRAGIOUS PRICES EBAY WANTS? I WILL GET RID OF THEM HERE TO COMPLETE COLLECTIONS. SCOTT

 

what sort of prices are you all paying for Cavallinos and Forza Magazines?

I need cavallino 1-16 ...and then have close to 100 extra Forza and Cavallinos collecting dust - no Forza 1 & 2 extras

Congratulations!

BTW: In the recent issue of Forza a reader asks the question whether they would ever reprint lost issues and the answer is no. They recommend to search ebay and (get this!) our very own FChat!

I suppose they're talking about the Collectables forum. Hehe.

 

I read that too.

 

I have a couple Cavallino but I am not impressed by the photos. The paper is good (thick) but not enough color photos. I think the Japanese Ferrari magazine has far more and better color photos.

 

Do you plan on keeping them? If not, What Numbers are they? I am missing a lot of Cavallino's and want to fill in the gaps.

 

I went to
http://www.albaco.biz/store/home.php?cat=248&page=2
Are they serious about the prices for Cavallino 1-19? I've got #5-119 in the garage, might be time to put them up for sale. What's the best way to sell them off- individually or as a collection?
