Rubik's Cube stuff I have (and I'll probably be going through it forever). Most of this stuff just has sentimental value to yours truly . . .
I have a handwritten scrap of paper that says I first solved the cube on 2/10/1981 at 6:22 pm. My wife Leona, and our friend Phil Oller were there to see me do it. I am pretty sure it was Phil's idea to write down the date and time.
I have Issue #1, #2, #3 & 4 of the Cubic Circular.
I have the 1982 David Singmaster, LTD "Purveyors of Perplexing Puzzles" Catalog, and a Retail Price List from Autumn, 1981.
I have a typed letter from David Singmaster (actually, his secretary), dated 5 February, 1982, along with a handwritten note from her telling me about Ideal coming out with the 4x4x4, the Magic Domino only being available in Hungary, and H.B. Thistlewaite producing a more detailed paper on his 52 move algorithm.
I have the March 1981 Scientific American (minus the cover) with the "Metamagical Themas" article on Rubik's Cube written by Douglas R. Hofstadter.
I have ton's of notes somewhere, I have not dug them up yet.
