I just received my electronic "GIA Insider" where the GIA announced free access to back issues of Gems & Gemology from 1934 - 1980. This is a huge resource -- many of these issues are extremely hard to find, if impossible.

http://www.gia.edu/gemsandgemology/3126 ... issues.cfm

I think I'm going download the whole set for a local, searchable resource...

How's that for a first post? :wink:

A great first post and wonderful, thank you so much. I have been collecting back issues for quite some time and cannot justify paying huge prices for issues that for the most part are outdated. Yet I love having them because sometimes I run across the "perfect article" with just what I am looking for. I have very few issues from '35-'67, so this is a gift from the gods to my pocket book! Thank you GIA! And pt, of course -- :D

Hello to All,

I, too, am looking for a few measly back issues of G&G to complete my collection.

I need the following issues:

Feb/Mar/Apr 1934 Vol 1 #2
Jan/Feb 1935 Vol 1 #7
May/June 1935 Vol 1 #9
July/Aug 1935 Vol 1 #10
Sept/Oct 1935 Vol 1 #11
Nov/Dec 1935 Vol 1 #12
Spring 1942
Fall 1942
Winter 1953
Winter 1954
Spring 1961

As you can see, I am THIS CLOSE. Can anyone help out? I have MANY back issues to trade, dating from the 1930s through 1980s. I am willing to pay a fair price for issues in excellent to very good condition.

Thank you,
Frank Pintz
