All the Utah Belt articles are in one directory, whether they came from GMR, regular issues, etc. <br /> <br />All Pelle Soeborg articles together, etc. <br /> <br />Any handlaying track articles are in one directory, with subdirectories for the individual articles, etc. <br /> <br />Part of the problem with just slicing and dicing is the fact that the end of one article could be on the front side of a page, with the beginning of another article on the back side of the page - then categorizing is difficult. <br /> <br />I did the same thing for a drumming magazine I used to subscribe to. I had every issue for 15 years, and it was getting silly. Now the issues are all catagorized exactly how I like them. <br /> <br />With new mags, I only scan articles I can't live without (usually subjects I'm attached to for sentimental reasons), then recycle the rest. <br /> <br />This cuts way down on junk around the house, that's for sure. <br /> <br />P.S. I take it back - Star Wars toys even in better condition than mine apparently aren't worth anything. Seriously, ebay is quite the reality check!
