Edge Magazine – continuous collection, issues 48 to 239 inclusive
192 consecutive issues of the UK’s most respected multi-format games magazine (Future Publishing), covering late 1997 through early 2012.

This is a proper archive, not a job lot of random copies. It takes you from the late PlayStation / N64 era through Dreamcast, GameCube, Xbox, PS2, Wii, PS3 and Xbox 360.

Headline collectable in this set

Issue 200 – subscriber-exclusive LittleBigPlanet cover
Edge’s 200th issue (April 2009) was printed with 200 different covers. 199 were general newsstand designs; the 200th cover was exclusive to subscribers and designed by Media Molecule for LittleBigPlanet.

That subscriber-only LBP cover is included. Individual scarce #200 covers regularly sell on their own; the Media Molecule subscriber version is one of the most wanted variants from the whole run.

Other notable / collectable issues included

#55 (February 1998) – Gran Turismo 10/10 issue (Edge’s second-ever perfect score). This issue was published with dual covers
#66 (Christmas 1998) – The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 10/10
#105 – Halo: Combat Evolved 10/10
#143 – Half-Life 2 10/10
#181 / #182 / #183 – Halo 3, The Orange Box, Super Mario Galaxy (three 10/10s in a row)
#189 – Grand Theft Auto IV 10/10
#195 – LittleBigPlanet 10/10
#209 – Bayonetta 10/10
#215 – Super Mario Galaxy 2 10/10
#222 – Rock Band 3 10/10
#234 – The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword 10/10
#100 – 100th issue milestone

Dual-cover variants of 'PlayStation Perfection' are available (the original Gran Turismo 10/10 review), issue #55. Important! Both included for the right price only, buy at the 'Buy it now' rate and they are both included, offer a price where I respond to say both will be included will also be ok. If full 'Buy it now' price isn't paid or if prior agreement hasn't been made that an offer includes both, then the one shown in the listing will be included only.

Happy to check any specific issue and send extra photos on request (especially #55 covers, #66, #100, #200 LBP, and the 10/10 issues).

Collection / postage

This is a heavy, bulky lot (roughly 192 magazines).

Collection only, happy to have them picked up at the buyers expense, buyer to organise.
Local delivery maybe possible, by arrangement, discuss prior to buying.

No returns on this collection unless the listing is materially wrong.

Payment

PayPal / eBay managed payments as per listing. Collection only after cleared payment.

Why this lot

Complete continuous Edge runs in this date range do not come up often. Most of the value sits in the #200 LBP subscriber cover, the 10/10 issues, and the fact it is unbroken from 48 to 239. If you have been filling gaps one magazine at a time, this saves years of hunting.

Questions welcome before you buy!
