Jeff OScott,
I was a member of the Cartophilic Society of Great Britain for a year.... it's really not much to write home about unless you collect a wide range of tobacco cards. Their monthly magazine/newsletter is OK, but really won't provide much of interest to sports collectors.
That being said, you do get a discount on their publications, such as the World Index. That's why I joined - it was cheaper to pay the dues for a year and buy the books with the discount then it was just to buy the books as a non-member.
They're usually pretty prompt... my membership stuff went through in 2-3 weeks.
