Hi-
I subscribed to SCD from the late 1980s through the mid 1990s. This was the best hobby publication, but the price guides were mostly ignored (most folks used Beckett's monthly for pricing, or SCD's big book). The biggest thing about SCD back then was it was where every dealer advertised. Some folks even purchased a very expensive subsciption to ensure they got their copy before most other people so they would have a chance to buy the best items. Think of it as the Ebay of the time period. And yes, the articles were much better than Beckett's back then (SCD focused more on vintage). It went downhill pretty quickly by the late 1990s.
