Well, at least they've been electronically preserved before they get any worse!
That being said, I have a used book store that frequently has old SF and Mystery magazines. I've been able to buy some copies of issues that I had bought when I first discovered the pulps, back in the early 60s.
I have been trying my hand at converting some of these for myself -- they won't be ready for MR for years.
