Tom BoblittI just checked with Guiness Book and we now have the record for usage of the word Whilst (3, soon to be 4 times in this thread alone!)........previously the record was set in 1215 by the boys who penned the Magna Carta......(yeah, the date's correct)....
Whilst we subscribed to SCD for years, both the thickness and relevance of the magazine has diminished to a point where the cost/benefit analysis swayed to the cost side. It used to have all the Oser auctions, Centerfield and some really relevant articles in it. Now, it's a haven for scammers like CC, horn blowers like Mr. Mint, home for new wax boxes and supplies. It was always interesting reading Lemke's columns on new card finds out there too.
While advertising revenue is paramount to their existence as any magazine, how can they in good conscience allow CC to sell dozens, maybe hundreds of questionable autographs every week in their pages....by doing that, they are part of the whole problem out there....I guess if you buy 6-8 FULL pages weekly (or frequently), you get a hall pass.......
