Availability and ebay.

Is it just me or has anybody else noticed that there is less availability for (say) pre-1950 magazines and maps/supps on ebay?

Is this evolution at work?!

George, 

Interesting question and such. On the face of it I'd say that there is a mix of factors at work here. I'm curious to see what anyone else's observations and possible ideas are for your query.

Scott, I was about to reply seperately but as we are here!

What date did it leave?

I have a vague recollection that USPS does not have a tracking system once it leaves the US?

Fingers crossed!

Yes! I haven't been able to buy any quality magazines off of eBay for the past year. That timeframe roughly coincides with the pandemic, but I can't tell if there is causation involved or just incidental correlation between the two.
