Howdy folks, I was perusing old copies of ;login: and came across a no= te about the BSTJ UNIX issue in the August 1978 newsletter: https://archive.org/details/login_august-1978<= /a>


Fast forward to today and I typically don't see this copy pop= up on auction for less than $100.  Still, amazing how something was b= eing just tossed out to anyone who wanted one and now here 45 years later, = it's a mad scramble to find the same.  Then there's this listing: https://www.= ebay.com/itm/134212722284?hash=3Ditem1f3fb39e6c:g:9VEAAOSw8HtjCp2H&amda= ta=3Denc%3AAQAIAAAA4IPDo14%2B7%2BCT30D5MvU1f9BJm77l1XWLxt2ojhau503DpckIGbEg= DyGAtPFQgj8m5y9CebRCho1Y9INzCsMX72UaQy96ent8gqtgFWH5MY3kpSNzkYBKgrjnVDMiom2= HOuqHiy5H%2FzRjvpdv0BE7tKJ7tJv4BRuCeSEPoqd2U%2FdfuKVuvOTdG%2B28JSWuPcN764AW= cg3EbpeU7LUiGEELwjxL0FTsCQ%2F2wK5AuuwK8E9E7WFVuZzsm07jesQcjq75A7t5fM0ggrRX2= Mn9cO9%2BHRAP7KcOYhGJ1BqIYz1P1FzL%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR_bFmL2BYg

$3000 dollars...quite shocking, although pe= rhaps they're banking on the uniqueness of that little sleeve, I've never s= een one of those with a BSTJ issue before.  Was that some sort of pack= aging the issues were delivered in?  It has the Bell Logo in the littl= e window on either side, so I want to believe it's original and not somethi= ng someone threw together after the fact.
