Good find, Alex. It is sort of a catch 22 for the fbbs and the photographers. Not enough money to go around in many cases. I can see both sides of the arguement here.
The internet has created more exposure for the pictures, but also can dilute the value to both the photog and the fbb.

In the 80’s and 90’s there was likely theft, but it was much harder to do. You got the fliers and either bought it or did not. The price was higher too. You also had WPW and more exposure in Flex, Musclemag, Ironman, and others. You either bought the mag or didn’t get the pics.

Good explanation about why there aren’t endless shoots of many fbbs.
