Thanks for posting these, Leon. I think Card Comments is my favorite hobby publication from that era. It was professionally done (by Gordon Taylor, a leading dealer, who had a staff to help him), and was more substantial than The Card Collector, the other dealer-published card publication at the time. It had a lot more ads, which are the most interesting part for us today. It doesn't have the cutting-edge research of Card Collectors' Bulletin or Sport Hobbyist, but it gives a really good picture of what the hobby was like for most people.
