Jerry SpillmanThe fault that VCBC is not being published on a more regular schedule, in this thread and others, is a shortage of vintage baseball articles. A rallying cry for more writers is being suggested. This theory has been overwhelmingly endorsed by many contributors to this board.
What is the basis for this assumption? I have not seen any requests for articles or any other type of written contributions for the magazine either on their pages or anywhere else.
There are so many other probable reasons that a business fails to meet their own prescribed schedule, such as the lack of: finances, efficiency, communications, experience, help, knowledge, direction, management skills, salesmanship,... and with such an irregular publication time pattern, soliciting and maintaining advertiser accounts... liaison with the printing press companies... etc.
Some of these and/or others reasons, are the more likely causes of the erratic circulation of the magazine rather than the prominent opinion offered here.
Julie - the name of the magazine is Vintage & Classic BASEBALL COLLECTOR - VCBC. I didn't know they would accept articles of other sports.
