Does anyone else collect or have any available? There are quite a few I need so please PM with what you are willing to sell. Going rate has been about $5-6 on Ebay but I am willing to listen. I also have several available that I am willing to sell or trade, price based on year and condition.

This is probably going to be the only way you'll get them because the teams won't help much. I sent emails to every team's media person asking if they had past media guides that I would buy because I collect them. Dallas was the only one to respond and then even send me anything. I got the last three years I believe. I realize that they have more pressing matters, but that's what interns are for. Anyway, good luck with the hunt!

I pretty much keep going to ebay to see what they have. Are they any other outlets? Even the teams won't sell them online. Maybe I should learn how to fake becoming a news outlet.

I don't know of any other outlets other than the teams. I don't think those are really a hot commodity among folks. You might try local newpapers of the teams. Since they do have beat writers and such, they may send out the guides for the reporters. Maybe they have some stashed away or might do you a solid and get you a copy. That's reaching a bit, but it might be worth an email to see.

And even faking becoming a news outlet might not get you even that far. :o

FWIW - The Burn / FCD cleaned house when they moved and rebranded and got a new pr staff back in 2003 - so they don't have any more to send.

I will look through my collection and see if I have any duplicates (not likely, but possible).

If you are in college, get involved with a campus newspaper, and then try to work it for all it is worth. I know there isn't a lot of respect paid to them, but sometimes it can work ;)
