Surviving Copies of the 1939 United States Card Collectors Catalog
I posted this thread over on the non-sport board. Dave Hornish suggested I add it here as well.
Hi. This year will mark the 80th anniversary of J.R. Burdick's inaugural run of the United States Card Collectors Catalog (subsequently named the American Card Catalog). Published June 1, 1939, Burdick produced only 500 copies which were reportedly personally bound by Burdick and his inner circle. So it got me thinking....500 total copies. How many surviving copies might exist today? I found 9. Any other unique front covers to add? Jeff |

I have one and will have to see if it is one listed. But these docs, shown before, seem pertinent to the thread too.

David - I agree, your's is already pictured.
Robert - thanks for the submissions, however both are 1939 "Bulletins" and not the catalogs I'm seeking in this thread. Great read Leon. Confirms the count. I'd like to pick-up a couple more for $.50 a piece. Henry has one that is missing its cover. That brings the known count to 10. There has to be several more held in personal collections. Let's seen them boys! Jeff |
