At some point over the past *mumble-muble* years, I caught a sale (I think it was Radio Archives?) They were moving along stuff they carried that wasn't their own line, and so they had a fire sale on issues of Weird Tales.
Now, before you get all excited, this wasn't classic-classic Weird Tales (1920s-1930s.) This was a clutch from the late 1980s through early 1990s issues. (still might be classic, in their own way.)
I was able to get a pretty full run, from issue 290 - 301 - not including 291.
As with too many of my reading purchase, the issues were acquired and then gather dust. (I know, don't @ me.)
I pulled out 295 last week and read it. That got me interested in finding that lost issue. I also realized that the run went on a few more issues, more sporadically. I looked up 302. To my surprise, there are issues on Amazon (like, mint? Sold by and shipped by Amazon,) including 302. But not, of course, 291.
So, I went to eBay to seen what 291 was doing.
Lo and behold. There, in my search, was a lot of 2 issues for sale.
Care to guess which issues?
Yes. 291 and 302. Together. In good to great condition, judging by the photos, and reasonably priced.
Instabuy, as they say.
Serendipity like that is not to be ignored lightly.
