Contents:

Zines: Included were the following zines (small, local magazines):

Stickers & Photos: A seemingly random assortment of stickers, album stickers (like the kind you used in your Panini albums as a kid), a Topps George W. Bush trading card, and a black and white photograph of two random people on a lake dock..

Extra credit if you can name these people, or the date, or the location!

The Last Call: A booklet of final sentiments of every ex-boyfriend the author had, compiled as if looking at text messages.  This was kind of funny, actually..

Random Art Collage: I think the title says it all here.  Looks like it was taken from the message board at a coffee shop.. Interesting.

Final Thought:  Zine-o-Matic is interesting, to say the least, but I did feel like it was a random hodge podge of free literature thrown into a mailer.  If you're an artsy type, I can see how this would be appealing – and you never know what nostalgic item is going to jog a memory.  If you'd like to check out Zine-o-Matic, click the link and get 50% off your first box with coupon code CRATEJOY50.  Now please excuse me while I run to the Dollar Tree and buy myself a Panini sticker album.  They have those there, you know…
