Looks like the cover price was $7. Hope its informative for that price, kinda pricey for a mag. IMO. I dont even want to pay $4 for a reg. mag. Lets see, $7 x 12 = $84. Sounds like an upgrade or a couple corals in the making. Not trying to burn anyone, just an opinion. Probably not a monthly mag anyway, too expensive for that. The cover is very cool.
