No, not of the contents but of the issues proper and the cover subject. This is what I have come up with; if anyone has corrections or updates let me know. The 1989-90 issues were inserts in Sports Collectors Digest and are not too well known.

Nice list Dave. I know there are many folks who appreciate it who don't post, too. I think my run only goes up to when it was sold in '83. And now I know there were in fact Jan. and Feb. issues in '69, which I am missing.

[Rich Klein]

I thought we had them all, sorry Leon but I know the 1984 terrible final couple of issues were included in what you got from me.

Just gives me something else to chase Rich. And with the chase being most of the fun, thanks!!

[cardsfan73]

Great list! So far I only have a few issues from 1979-1980.. Plan on slowly building my collection up and this list is very helpful. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you for posting this list. I too am slowly working my way through collecting past issues for reference primarily. For anyone who has a number of issues already, how do you store these? I want to refer to them periodically but they just don't go easily on the bookshelf, nor are they of great reference value if packed away in individual magazine bags/backers. Any thoughts?

[toppcat]

I have all mine chronologically on a bookshelf in my home office, with a Baseball Encyclopedia (any hefty book will do obviously) on each end to make for an upright but not too tight fit. I do this with my collections of The Wrapper and Baseball Cards magazine as well. That way I can pull issues easily to read. It does take a bit of space but they are accessible.

Leon, those first four issues are extremely difficult and I only have photocopies of #1 and #4 as you know; the first might be the easiest from that group in actuality. My "actual" run picks up in March of 1969 and I believe that issue saw an uptick in distribution. I believe the SCD insert issues are also difficult.

[gnaz01]

I have only 1 issue, Issue #8, June 1969. I think the earlier issues are quite scarce. Am I wrong??
