Howard Banks early start with Crown Jewels of the Wire, This has to be a starting point that will define later in life 30 plus years later he will take over the Crown Jewels of the Wire Magazine,,,Quote from Howard...P.S. I sold my collection in 1969 (most of it) to pay for my freshman year of college!

The following picture was from an old 1969 issue of Crown Jewels of the wire. I won the first year issues in the last auction Howard had for a fund raiser for the magazine. That I believe was the only issues I didn't have. Thank you Howard for putting them up for auction. I truly enjoy reading them as much as Tommy does too.[id=399406672]
