Posted By: <b>Mike McGrail</b><p>Based on what Lyman & Brett have shown 'til now service wise, wouldn't surprise me if they filtered out addresses they thought would take longer and got them in the mail first. Looks like I caught a bit of the luck of the Irish on this one!<br /><br />I haven't been this charged about a publication since I first discovered VCBC. This mag is great!<br /><br />Ciao for now,<br /><br />Mike

Posted By: <b>ErikV.</b><p><br /> My first issue arrived today....WOW!!! Looks like we got a winner. I won't indulge on it's contents, but I will say that the color pages and the magazine layout gives it a very clean appearance. Kind of reminds me of VCBC, but in color! Happy Readings.

Posted By: <b>leon</b><p>Well, I know the gentlemen very well that are putting the magazine out. It looks like their preferred shipping method is leaving something to be desired. I haven't received mine yet and I am just up the road from them (although not sure where the mags are shipping from). I was told about a week ago that mine had shipped. I am sure this will be taken care of much better than the other mag that has distribution issues. I am really looking forward to it and hope, as ya'll have noted it is in somewhat covert wrappings, that I didn't chunk it in the garbage by accident...regards all<br /><br />ps...got the new Mastro one too...should make collectors happy ....

Posted By: <b>Lyman Hardeman</b><p>Gee, guys (and gals), Brett and I have never felt so missed. Believe me, we are as anxious to get the inaugural issue of Old Cardboard into your hands as you seem to be to receive it. Perhaps a few words about our distribution schedule will help reduce a little of the stress.<br /><br />Old Cardboard Magazine is published quarterly and mailed (from Austin, TX) so that it will reach the subscriber about the middle of the first month in each calendar quarter (i.e., January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15). For the record, we take our schedule VERY seriously. Because USPS guidelines for mailing the magazine are 10-14 days (US and Canada), we will always ship around the first of the month of issue to meet our promised schedule. Our first issue is no exception and was mailed early last week--a few days ahead of schedule. With a little luck, most subscribers will receive their copies later this week.<br /><br />As always, we sincerely appreciate your support and hope that you enjoy Issue #1. We always welcome feedback from members of this board and consider the board a rich source of authors for future issues. Please send you article ideas to editor@oldcardboard.com. <br /><br />Lyman<br /><br />PS: My mother-in-law in Southern California received her copy late yesterday, and I assure you that she did not get any special treatment! --LJH<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>dan mckee</b><p>I am an advertiser and I did get special treatment. My special treatment is that I haven't received mine yet either in Maryland but have received a few calls on my ad. The first gentleman will not be a repeat customer when I asked him "What ad are you talking about?". By not having it myself, I completely forgot about it. Anyway, I have a feeling that the other pub will be in trouble. This product should be exceptional. Dan.

OLD CARDBOARD MAGAZINE
 

Posted By: <b>Anthony</b><p>Actually I was joking about advertisers not receiving special treatment. It just didn't come off as such on my post.<br /> Old Cardboard's calender said the publication date was October 15th. Given what we're used to with VCBC if it comes by Thanksgiving I'd consider it to be a success- but I'm sure it will be in hand by the middle of this month.

Posted By: <b>Paul</b><p>I'm happy and shocked. I got mine yesterday here in Southern California. I usually get my SCD about 10 days late, with the next issue often passing the previous one. My VCBC usually arives about 6-8 weeks after Julie gets hers (FedEx, I know, but 6-8 weeks for regular mail is nuts). I can't believe I wasn't dead last!

Posted By: <b>Lee Behrens</b><p>I received mine today and enjoyed it, they did a nice job. I don't feel it is anything over and above VCBC but if it comes on schedule that would be a big bonus.<br /><br />One of the things we all have to remember is that we can contribute to these publications, the more we offer the more content. The better the mag. And my guess in VCBCs case the quicker it comes out.<br /><br />One thing that did bother me is the profile of the 10 year as a collector with almost a complete T206. It is great that a 10 year is interested in the heritage of the baseball cards and baseball. But, There is no way a kid of that age can do enough chores to be able to buy the cards. He obviously comes from a wealthy family. I think most of us have earned most of the money we spend on our cards. To me this is just a profile of a rich kid getting what he wants.<br /><br />That's my beef.<br /><br />Lee

Posted By: <b>T206Collector</b><p>....I hope to be able to share my collection with my child, and if they ever want to do a story on him he'll be the 2 year old with a near complete T206 collection. His favorite card will be the Matty Dark Cap.<br /><br />In fact, as soon as he's in the crib, I'm going to take a picture of him drooling all over one.

Posted By: <b>Ryan Christoff</b><p>Dan,<br /><br />Like many others, I'm still waiting for my issue to arrive. I'm just not sure why we all need to post about it. Perhaps I'm underestimating the value of commiseration.<br /><br />I would think directly e-mailing Lyman or Brett would be more productive if one is looking for an answer as to why some of us will only be receiving the 1st issue slightly early or right on schedule, while others received it very early. <br /><br />Imagine if we did this for VCBC. We'd have our 1st 300 post thread with nothing but "Captain's log: October 12th. Still no VCBC. Thirst for vintage card articles almost too much to bear. Can't...hold...on...much...longer; Must...read...back...issues." <br /><br />Regarding the Cuban type lot, I got your address from Greg a few days ago and have put a group together including descriptions of each issue as well as notes on their relative scarcity. <br /><br />Drop me an e-mail once you receive the package.<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />-Ryan<br /><br />P.S. It's now been two more minutes since I typed above that I hadn't yet received my magazine...and I STILL haven't received it.

Posted By: <b>dan mckee</b><p>Hi Ryan, you are correct. Lyman and Brett are super people and the product will be better than imagined. I just posted here because this was a subject I could talk about out, I ain't too swift. Tell Greg I said hello and yes, w/o you labeling those cuban cards, I would be completely lost! Take Care Dan

Posted By: <b>Aaron</b><p>Ryan: <br /><br />After reading your two posts on this subject, I think I've reached the conclusion that you are not at all interested in when people receive their OCM issue. <br /><br />I know this may seem like a radical idea, but since you seemingly have no interest in this thread, my suggestion would be for you to ignore it (that would mean stop reading all the posts) and definitely stop positing in it (that would mean stop writing posts). <br /><br />I think you will find that this course of action has the desired effect of not annoying you, while those who are interested in the thread will continue to post, read, and most importantly, enjoy. <br /><br />Yours truly, <br />Aaron

I'll keep you posted. <br /><br />And by the way, the reason I posted for a second time earlier is because I was asked a direct question by Dan. <br /><br />The title of this thread is "Old Cardboard Magazine" which is something I'm interested in and would like to read comments about. <br /><br />I appreciate how much you enjoy reading about who does or doesn't have their magazine, but some of us on the board would like to be able to scan through various threads for useful or interesting information without have to sift through endless posts about ebay fraud, politics, or magazine status to find it. <br /><br />-Ryan<br /><br />

Posted By: <b>ErikV</b><p> "Captain's log: October 12th. Still no VCBC. Thirst for vintage card articles almost too much to bear. Can't...hold...on...much...longer; Must...read...back...issues." <br /><br /> For those who haven't received their first issue of Old Cardboard, don't worry, Captain Kirk hasn't either!<br /><br /> Dr. McCoy: "Damn It Jim, Do something!"<br /><br /> Mr. Spock: "Dr. McCoy, the Captain is facing a critial dilema. He doesn't need your emotional outbursts. You are acting irrational...and illogical."<br /><br /> Kirk: "Alright you two. Mr. Scott can you get us out of here with warp speed after we get Old Cardboard from the Klingons?"<br /> <br /> Scotty: "Aye Captain."<br /><br /> Facing a hostile crew and possibly mutany, Kirk decides to bargain with the Klingons.<br /><br /> Kirk: "Commander Klingon. I'll trade you a T206 Ty Cobb for my issue of Old Cardboard."<br /><br /> <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5127920696&ssPage Name=STRK:MEWA:IT" target=_new>http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=5127920696&ssPage Name=STRK:MEWA:IT</a><br /><br /> Klingon: "Is this a trick?"<br /><br /> (Pause)<br /><br /> Klingons: "That's a fake Cobb! We want the T206 Wagner or the magazine stays!"<br /><br /> As a goodwill gesture, the Klingons send Kirk an intergalactic e-mail with the cover of Old Cardboard.<br /> <br /><img src="http://www.network54.com/Realm/tmp/1097709671.JPG"><br /><br /> Kirk succumbs to the crews requests and trades his coveted Wagner. Within days Federation Mail arrives. Low and behold, the first issue had arrived!

Here you had me thinking you were not at all interested in when people receive their OCM issue, and what do I see? <br /><br />You continue to read the posts AND wrote TWO more posts on the subject, with a promise for more! <br /><br />Since you very clearly seem to enjoy this thread and updating us with bated breath on the delivery status of your issue, then I think I should extend you a welcome to the thread. <br /><br />Please feel free to join in and participate as you see fit--seeing as we are all here seemingly for the fun of it and you sure seem to be having fun posting about when your issue will arrive. <br /><br />Who knows?

Posted By: <b>Aaron</b><p>Now, Hankron, normally I'd love to read about how you and your coffee are faring, but as Ryan has correctly pointed out, this is an OCM thread and therefore we wouldn't want to waste anybody's time sifting through posts about how you take your coffee, when Ryan is much more interested in updating us about the delivery status of his issue. <br /><br />I hate to come down so hard on you, but Ryan's time is very valuable (it takes alot of focus to check his mail slot and promptly report delivery status to the rest of us every 10 minutes!) and I would hate to inconvenience him or deter him from doing that which enjoys above all else! <br /><br />--Aaron

Posted By: <b>Aaron</b><p>Everyone, everyone! Listen up! I know he probably wouldn't want me telling you this (Ryan is very shy about his good deeds), but not only has Ryan been gracious enough to share the delivery status o his OCM with the thread, he's even been e-mailing me privately to keep me in more regular update! <br /><br />I happened to check my e-mail and what do I find from Ryan? An unsolicited e-mail with the following complete text: "6:19 PM and still waiting"<br /><br />And then, another e-mail: "6:23 PM and still nothing" <br /><br />Now, some might say that's rather creepy, maybe even bordering on cyber-stalking from a deranged and pathetic individual who has lost all self-control and grasp on rational behavior. <br /><br />Me? I just think Ryan is very excited about sharing the delivery status with the board, but he's a bit timid about posting so often in this thread. <br /><br />To that, I say, Ryan, you can post as often as you like in this thread! No one will think you are ridiculously immature, psychologically imbalanced or intellectually overmatched against your fellow posters. <br /><br />No judgments, Ryan. No judgments. <br /><br />Yours truly, <br />Aaron
