Inside Pool Magazine -- eight issues needed

[Bob Jewett]

Update: No progress as of March 2018. ... Dec 2020...

I'm trying to assemble a complete run of Inside Pool Magazine. I believe that December 2001 was their first issue and July/August 2013 was their last issue. If so, I need the following eight issues:

2009 -- Dec
2010 -- Jan
2012 -- Nov, Dec
2013 -- Jan, Feb, May/June, Jul/Aug

If you can help out, I'm willing to pay for copies or trade you lots of extra back issues of Inside Pool or Pool & Billiard or Billiards Digest. Please respond here or PM me or send email to jewett@sfbilliards.com

Thanks.

Have you tried reaching out to JR Calvert? He was the publisher and owner, so he may have back issues.

Yes but I have no address for him so it has been second hand so far.

I have not seen the InsidePool gang in a long while, other than on FB.

You may be able to reach JR via LinkedIn. He probably still has a working email address that LinkedIn is connected to. :wink: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jr-calvert-aa06565/

Thanks, but I've already contacted JR and he seems not to have a cache of back issues. Maybe he has run into some leads since.

OK, I still have had no luck tracking down the 8 issues of Inside Pool listed below. I'm willing to pay $30 per issue plus postage. Maybe that will get someone's attention.

2009 -- Dec
2010 -- Jan
2012 -- Nov, Dec
2013 -- Jan, Feb, May/June, Jul/Aug

Here are the covers of the first four to help your search:

Bob,
How about contacting some of the many players whose names and faces are seen on those cover images?

As you'll already know, almost all publishers send a free courtesy copy to folks they're featuring within their publications. I'll bet that more than a few still have their copy (or even vanity-purchased multiple ones they've given to friends/relatives). Some of these assorted people and players may very well be willing to add to your respected collection for the right price. Everyone -- the world over -- needs supplementary income in today's times.

[Bob Jewett]

Thanks for the suggestion, Arnaldo. I've already sent out the first request.

So what will be the value of the completed collection of Inside Pool?

 

[SpiderWeb]

I found other mags on ebay that i was looking for.

So what will be the value of the completed collection of Inside Pool?

Really hard to say. It published for about 12 years with roughly 10 issues per year. Completing the collection has been hard.

Thanks. I've contacted a seller on Ebay -- the only one right now -- to see if they are going to sell later issues.

Bob,

I looked in my stash and don't have those issues any longer. As it turns out I purged much of my magazines long ago. But, for some reason, I have a handful of fairly old ones [1987 and 1993], which are in OK condition. Not great, but OK. I also have 2 unopened magazines -> which I assume I saved because they are still in plastic. Inside Pool, March 2005, Vol. V, Issue 3 [Efren on front]; Pool and Billiard Magazine, May 2005 [Putnam on front].

I'm happy to send some/all of them to you if you think they're useful, or might be trade material for magazines you want. PM if you would like a full inventory or pics.

Thanks for looking but I have at least two copies of every other issue of Inside Pool. (Also lots of the other mags.)
