End of an era? SCD

Loved some of the off-beat stories. One writer was obsessed with completing a set of Mac & Cheese (I believe I have that right) cards. Bought boxes and boxes and drove his wife crazy.

That was Bob Lemke on the Kraft M&C boxes. He even gave tips of what to do w/ the cheese packets, like sprinkle some on popcorn.

I still like getting SCD in the mail just to read the articles.... almost never find anything worth buying in the ads however. Also enjoy some of the "finds", the full color pictures, and the show calendars. Like it was said before, the cost is minimal and its one more way to have fun with the hobby.

I think of Bob when I think of SCD and the good ol' days. Both are fond memories and missed.

....they could not use the "Clout" of a big customer of USPS to argue that the mailings destined for central and northern Wisconsin should not be sent 5 hrs. south to Chicago to be redirected back up north when time permitted. I live 2 hrs. north of the loading dock that sent my copy 5 hrs. in the wrong direction and languish for days waiting to be redirected back to me. So....it was very dated when it arrived in my rural mail box. I waited on the gravel road like a dog waiting for the school bus for an anticipated arrival.....usually with my beloved rescue yellow lab.
When I would call them and say "Maybe I should hitchhike down to get my copy at your office/shipping dock on "The Day".....they had just stumbling, mumbling and bumbling responses. My criticisms in NO way reflect on the beloved Bob Lemke or the hard working USPS workers but just SCD's inept approach to marketing their product. But....that was the place to find cards, in the '90's, and meet some really cool dealers and engage in wonderful phone conversations. But...those days are gone...for sure.
Sincerely, Dennis O'Brien....because I am being critical of SCD
