Where to get Old issues of Dragon?

[Synthetik Fish]

Hi All-
I stopped getting Dragon magazine somewhere between a year and 2 years ago. I'm going to renew my subscription, but I also want to fill in the gap for all my missing issues. Does anyone know where I can get all these? I don't think Dragon goes back that far on teh Wizard's page for back issues...

Paizo's Web Site

First, check to see if the publisher, Paizo Publishing, has any back issues in their inventory. Wizards of the Coast gave Paizo everything they had when the former handed off the business to Lisa Stevens and crew:

They may be sold out. After that, you might have to resrot to eBay or Amazon.com. Canonfire! also has a collector's board where you can ask around:

Happy gaming.

I'm looking for issues #320 and on...

and then, I need to sort through all my issues and make sure that I have no holes. What was the first issue for 3.5? Is the stuff in the 3.0-era Dragon's still considered "Official" and "Playible"?

The first 3.5 issue was #309...I'm pretty sure of that.

If you have a FLGS, try them too. I've often seen copies of Dragon there (both very old and very recent).

I'll take all of your Dragon magazines from issue #320 - on. Send me a PM and we can work out something.

Used bookstores also can be a treasure trove, though perhaps less so in this internet age. My first Dragon was #63 (back in 1981 or 82, I think) (and 62 as an 'old' issue at the time from the previous month) and I subscribed thereafter, off and on, til this day. I also went back and filled in what was missing. One day, maybe ten years later, I went to a used book store, saw a Strategic Review, and asked about it and the owner said he had a whole box of Dragons someone just sold to him - it was like almost every issue between 2 and 50 or 60 (I forget exactly which now, it was a long time ago). He sold them all to me at nearly cover price on most of them (a bit of a premium on the single digit ones). Then he threw in the Strategic Review for free (given that I had made such a huge purchase).

So you never know.

Too bad no-one wants the older issues :/

The market indicates otherwise. I keep tabs on the market for older issues from time to time and the price of those older issues has only gone up over the years. Not that it matters much to me personally, since I already have every issue, and I don't intend on selling them.
