It is a real shame. Many of us know personally what a meticulous person you are when it comes to your collections, whether it be magazines, sales catalogs, models or tractors.
To have gaps and missing issues lessens the value for sure. You have spent years and $$ to accumulate, to enjoy and share with others.
It is saddening that nothing has happened in the 9 months, no back issues, not even an offer of a refund?
From what is known, you have done everything correctly to seek resolution with ZERO results. Pitiful.
I was looking forward to your open house in Idaho, but its safe to say that will not happen now, the real losers will be the members and their guests you were planning for.
Look at the bright side, we became friends thru the club...JM
