Here's the description:
"Okay, offered here on e-bay just this one time and if they do not sell then they will go back under the mattress for a while longer. Purchased a little over a year ago and documented in Diamonds Scoop article, I purchased these because the chance of owning a complete set of RBCC is as close to zero as you can get. Only 4-5 hand typed copies of the first few were even made by G B Love and were mailed out to a few close friends of his. Early issues were legal paper sized and at issue 11 they switched over to the paper size most know and love. This short run were originally mailed to John McGeehan in California, a prominent collector in the early days and were sold with his collection to a dealer who in turn sold them to the Dealer I purchased them from. The Nevada dealer had them in his collection for decades until I asked about buying them a year ago. All are in great shape….very clean paper…….fold lines on issues…remember they were mailed….proabably the best set and representation of these SUPER hard to find copies of this historic Fanzine. A handfull of us out there know that these early issues are the Holy Grail of Fanzine collectors and will no doubt react to this auction.
