Thank you.

How do you know that those issues ever really existed?
I have their catalog for Spring, 1993, but it shows #39 as the highest for the G-S.
Those must be from 2-3 years later.--If they were issued monthly, not weekly.
Maybe they still have the address and phone numbers above. If so, try calling or writing to them directly.
Thank you, for your reply.
Unfortunately Softdisk went out of business in 2016.

I believe that Syndicomm still owns the license to distribute the Softdisk G-S issues.

In 2009 were added 82 individually issues to the Syndicomm store.

Here we can find the content of each disk:

In 2011, Shepherd transferred ownership of Syndicomm to Tony Diaz.

In this 2012 capture of the Syndicomm store we can see that it still had “Periodicals (97)“
https://web.archive.org/web/20120204133744/http://store.syndicomm.com/
But at this moment it only has “Periodicals (52)”
http://store.syndicomm.com/
At the end of July (2017), when I was looking for the Softdisk issues and find out all this information I contacted Tony Diaz (tdiaz) over the A2Central IRC channel (#a2c.chat @ irc.a2central.com) and ask him if he could add the Softdisk G-S #64, #73, #
74 issues to the store, if he did I would buy them.
An that the complete list of missing issues was #1, #21, #23, #28, #29, #31, #33, #35, #36, #37, #38, #40, #42, #45, #46, #48, #49, #50, #51, #52, #55, #56, #60, #61, #63, #64, #66, #70, #73, #74, #76, #77, #78, #79, #80, #81.
7 months have passed...
The Syndicomm store also sells a CD with all the 82 issues.
https://store.syndicomm.com/syn/simply-softdisk-g-s/
But I live in Portugal (Europe), and (for various reasons) I really doubt that the CD would ever get here.
If someone already bought this CD and wants to copy SDK files from the CD and send them to me by email (or something else like, drop box or alike) I would have no problem paying $100 for the Softdisk G-S #64, #73, #74 SDK disk images.
I would pay $30 by Paypal for the first SDK file, you would receive the money and then send me the file, and I confirm the file.
We repeat the same process for the other two files and at the end I would pay another extra $10.
