Default 3-hole punched issues

Hi All,

Trying to do a little research here... How much do you value the 3 holes that are drilled into your issues? Do you store your back issues in a 3-ring binder? Would you be interested in purchasing a binder with the WCI logo on it?

Do you see the 3 holes as a major subscriber benefit? Would you be upset if your copy no longer had the holes?

It's actually pretty expensive to have the magazine drilled and if it doesn't mean that much to you guys - it's money better spent elsewhere...

I do put mine into a binder but I think I do it only because the holes are there. I don't really like how they fit in the binder – I wouldn't miss them if they vanished.

1. No, I do not use a binder & am not interested in purchasing any. Would rather spend my money on renewal subscriptions and tools.

2. IMHO, I do not view the holes as a major subscriber benefit and do not care if they are there or not.

3.If the savings would go towards bettering the magizine, go for it. I consider it the best on the market now; however, there is always room for improvement.

When I bought my first issue I noticed the holes and thought what a great idea, i could put it in a binder!

After several years of subscriptions i have yet to put the first one in a binder so in reality it does not matter to me.

I put mine in a 3 ring binder because I had one. It's full now and is a pain to look thru to find something. I wouldn't buy another binder for the new subs.. Merle

I keep mine on the shelf, its easier for me to grab only one or two mags. If I decide later to put them in binder'S' I can always drill my own holes into the mag if you change back to 'no-hole'. I'd have to do that to the older mags anyway.

I keep mine in a magazine rack and would prefer to NOT have them drilled.
