Combo
Scope and Contents
This collection includes a majority of Combo magazine from 1995 to 1997. Many issues held by the library are sealed in their original polybags with collectible cards, though this has not been cataloged.
Due to the limited gaming content in Combo, the library is not actively collecting missing issues of the magazine but may acquire them if they are known to contain game-related material.

Abstract
Combo was a collectibles magazine primarily covering trading cards, comics, and action figures. The magazine also included limited coverage of video and tabletop games, particularly in early issues.
Although it is unclear how long Combo was published, it appears to have run through at least January 1998 (issue 36).
Appraisal
Due to the limited gaming content in Combo, issues without gaming content may be deaccessioned in the future.
