I've subscribed since 1995 and have every issue. When I let my subscription lapse for a few weeks in 1998, I still ordered those issues after the fact to maintain continuity. I'm proud to say I've read every word of every issue.... well, not all the ads too.
I have spent a year now amassing a ridiculous collection of hockey books. But my next big project is to get all the old THN issues. I've looked around ebay and it won't be cheap to get all those old issues. I'm likely to buy the 1947-1990 microfiche for about $1000 and then get the index books for about $500. A microfiche reader is less than $100 so for about $1600 I would have the ability to look up anything I want, assuming the index is really that comprehensive.
Based on this scan, I would say it's pretty comprehensive.
As for 1990-1995... at that point I would likely go find them all on ebay just for continuity purposes.
