As some of you may know, I have been on the search for frankie magazine issue # 2 for quite some time now.
Well, on Saturday my wish came true. My pal Eddie gave his mint condition copy to me as an early birthday present, and it took alot of self control not to jump up and down like a person who has scored front row Bon Jovi tickets.
I think aside from the fact that Ed is a generous person, it may also my magazine karma.
You see, about 3 months ago, I gave my friend Pete of i heart guitar my treasured copy of Guitar World, featuring a very young and spunky Steve Vai on the front. I had the magazine since I was 15 or 16 years old, which makes the issue "vintage".
As Pete lives and breathes guitar - and is also a huge Steve Vai fan, I felt that the time had come to pass it on.
So if you have a collectable, or something that you have been hoarding for a long time, and you think that someone you know may appreciate more than you do, wrap it up and give it to them...as you don't know what collectable karma will come to you!
Some of you will know Steve Vai from this David Lee Roth music video:
