Dirt Rag postcards
Does anyone collect or have a collection of the Dirt Rag post cards? They have stopped putting them in, bummer. I have two. Both recent. I really like them and would be interested in seeing more of them. Post pics here?

they stopped putting postcards in quite a while ago when the economy started tanking. i thought they were cool and i sort of miss them, but i understand why they did it. i wish i had all my old issues with them, i would be happy to post pics if i had them.

I have a bunch of issues with the postcards from about '93-'98 stashed away somewhere. Digging them on up might prove to be a challenge.
I love the earlier iterations of DR, more of grassroots nature and lots of covers done by readers. Classic.

totally. it was a magazine driven by it's readers, much of the content came from it's readers. actually, it still is. and it's the only mountain bike magazine that i'm aware of that has 0 ads for cars. even though dirt rag might be "big" they still have the grassroots community feel to it.
