Re-reading this magazine today, I was struck by how normal, friendly, and informative the articles were compared to today. i.e. Plaschke, etc.
Not from this issue which has 70-80 cards for sale. but from other issues I bought 33 Goudey from dealer ads.
I added a 1980 Topps JR Richard oversized card. I like how it says on the back, "Topps For the Fun of It."

Interesting that there's no mention of Willie Wilson in a September 1980 article about there never having been a 700 at-bat season. Wilson surpassed the mark the very next month.
