Media MMA Program Collection

[Glove]

I started collecting MMA programs back in 2010. I didn't intend to become a rare professional collector but i guess i can be considered one since i now have over 300 in my possession. Including all the Pride FC programs, all DREAM programs, 61 K-1 programs, 23 Pancrase programs, 14 Vale Tudo programs, and 115 UFC programs.

It's all beautiful. I'm saying, between this and your cutout collection, you could probably sell this to Zuckerberg for a mint.

For younger folk, MMA magazines were plentiful back in 2003-2010, one of my favorites to look at was Fightsport Magazine.

Back in 2005, a magazine came out called "Bodyguard" which later changed it's name to TapOut. One of my favoriteView attachment 995902 magazines to get. Their photos were top notch and came out monthly.

Genuinely curious, how many of those are reprints vs original? Is this a collectible area where reprints are legit if they meet certain standards? Rules are different in every collectible genre, it seems.

Fighters Only magazine was published for United States and United Kingdom editions. These were my favorite magazines out of all of them over the years. They were made with a heavy wax paper, had magazinzicent photos and reported on nearly all MMA events here in the states and abroad. While they don't make physical magazines anymore, they still have their storefront and publish viral mags.
