Well, for my part I can say that I've got three from that era coming up in the next month in my "This week in TV Guide" series. Most of my back issues are from Minnesota, and I've got quite a few in the 62-66 range. Let me know if you'd like to see anything special from those issues.
 
...interesting that there's no NWA wrestling on either KMSP/9 or WTCN-TV/11, the two stations that Verne Gagne's AWA All-Star Wrestling would be produced at for most of that promotion's existence. At the time, hometown boy Gagne was a big name in the NWA. What station did have a wrestling program in the Twin Cities in '58-'60, prior to Gagne and Wally Karbo establishing the AWA, and when did they run it?...
