Greetings,
Just a reminder that the December 2021 issue of the quarterly
Old Cardboard eMagazine is set for distribution in the next day or so.
This is our first ever Special Issue of the
Old Cardboard eMagazine. It coincides with a major expansion of the
OC website, and is focused entirely on a growing segment of vintage card collecting--Baseball Comic Postcards.
The article, along with the extensive additions to the website, broadens the hobby's knowledge for nearly 100 baseball card Sets. In addition, it provides facts and images for more than 200 Singles (postcards that are not part of sets).
The new expansion is embellished with galleries that together display more than 900 different individual card images. All of them are presented in full color, some of which have never been seen by even the most advanced collectors.
We are fortunate and very grateful to have two veteran Baseball Comic Postcard collectors as key contributors to the article. Co-author Frank Keetz, now 94 years young and otherwise known as the "Dean of Baseball Comic Postcards," is author of the original 1976 booklet (and 1983 update) by that title. In addition, long-time collector Eldon Mohler has provided untiring assistance in producing scans of large numbers of postcards from his very advanced collection. Without either of these contributors, the Special Issue would not have been possible.
The full contents of the eMagazine include:
1. Updated Auction and Show Calendar
2. Old Cardboard SPECIAL ISSUE: Baseball Comic Postcards
3. Recent Additions to the OldCardboard.com Website
4. News Briefs (A Digest of Recent Hobby Happenings)

Happy collecting,
Lyman
