As previously mentioned they did drop Coaches Corner, but left the door open for CSC collectibles and others peddling terrible forgeries to continue. It is hard to support a pub that continues to pine for the "good old days" when they obviously have their heads burried in the sand. If I hear one more reference to the "Willow Grove" shows or one more "Mickey Mantle" checklist I am going beat my head against the wall.
You see TS O'Connell at the National, Sun Times, etc. walking around, talking to the same people he spoke to every show for the last 20 years wondering why the "hobby" is in decline. Try doing something to promote the hobby instead of putting out the same dribble every week.
Sorry to rant, but maybe it's time to save my $25.

I've been and continue to be an SCD subscriber of over 18 years. The SCD used to be the absolute best, but the ship has definately sailed.
I agree with Duluth Eskimo in that every year I continue to find a few items in the SCD. I used to also use SCD to identify up to date autograph signing info for people that I needed, but more recently I find myself using the signingshotline.com website for this info. It's a great tool if you members haven't checked it out, I can definately recommend it. Occasionally the SCD will have some decent interviews and stories that keep me hanging in there, but it's definately a shell of what it once was in the height of the sports cards hobby.
BTW, I too am tired of the never ending article on Mickey Mantle oddball that's been running for about a year. Time to turn the page....
