"Baseball Card Magazine"
 

Posted By: <b>robert a</b><p>I was reading Barry Sloate's article (nice article by the way Barry!) in an old VCBC on t206 and noticed that he referenced a Lipset article, "Tales of T206," from this mag.<br /><br />Just curious if this magazine (Baseball Card Mag.)had a lot of vintage articles?<br />Anyone ever see any back issues floating around?<br />Thanks,<br />Robert

Posted By: <b>Ted Zanidakis</b><p>The article Barry is referring to (Tales of T-206) by Lew<br />Lipset is in the 1983 Spring Issue of Krause's BB Cards Mag.<br />It is a very interesting 5 - page article that includes an<br />additional 3 - page Checklist & Price Guide.<br /><br />This issue also has an article by me titled "The Case of the<br />Mysterious 1949 Bowmans" (co-authored with Ralph Triplette).<br /><br />And, this is why I am very familiar with this particular Mag.<br />In the late '70s and throughout the '80s, this Mag. was a fine<br />source of vintage information. But, not as good as VCBC. If<br />you can find old copies of The Trader Speaks (1970s - 1980s),<br />you will have some real good vintage articles to read.<br />

Posted By: <b>barrysloate</b><p>Lew's article in the Baseball Card Magazine is excellent, and the early issues have some other valuable vintage card articles. Ted and I became lifelong friends shortly after I read his 1949 Bowman article and for awhile I collected set after set of them. I wrote an article on T206 in an early issue of VCBC that's a good overview but doesn't go into the great detail that today's collectors expect.
