BCM Bound

Here on Top eBay Chess Items by Price, I don't often feature bound magazines because they are visually uninteresting, but when they make up a series of auctions, they are hard to ignore. The image below shows six auctions by the same seller, all for bound volumes of British Chess Magazine (BCM).

Looking at the auctions in descending order of price, the titles and bidding particulars were

• Lot of 9 British Chess Magazine Books Antique 1880's 1890's Sutton Coldfield • $2,326.45, 25 bids
• Lot of 10 The British Chess Magazine Antique Books 1880s 1900s 1910s • $1,600.00, 53 bids
• Lot of 9 The British Chess Magazine Antique Books 1920s Hardcover Leather Bound • $764.99, 9 bids
• Lot of 11 The British Chess Magazine Antique Books 1930's 1946 • $710.00, 18 bids
• Lot of 5 The British Chess Magazine Antique Books Early 1900s • $707.99, 27 bids
• Lot of 3 British Chess Magazine Books Antique 1880s 1890s Sutton Coldfield • $460.00, 36 bids

That makes (9 + 10 + 9 + 11 + 5 + 3) years x 12 issues per year, which is a lot of reading.
