Well, this post is amazing.
There are 5 Types of the 20 Round Star Magazines.
Look closely.
All are rare and collectible.
This incredibly rare opportunity to see all 5 of the Star Mags is because of a very nice collector. These Star mags are from the Bradley Cheeks Dale Collection. If you know him, please thank him for his contribution.
