Sports Collectors Digest, What a sad magazine that is

[keithsky]

I used to subscribe to SCD for 20 years and cancelled them a couple years ago because they supported Coach's Corner for years but that's another story. I picked up a free issue at the Chicago Suntimes show. What a joke. It was about 35 pages and most of them ads. I remember years ago almost 100 pages. I know the internet has caused lose of subscribers but I personally know of about 8 people dropped them like a lead balloon because of C.C. It almost looks like a flyer you get in the mail it's so small. Once a great hobby publication and fun to read it is now not worth the paper it's printed on. Just my opinion.

Maybe I'm showing my age but in the late 80's it was 2 sections and about 200 pages.
And yes, I still subscribe to this day

Ah yes, memories of the Mint offerings of Brigandi, Steve Timmons, When it Was a Card (oops I mean WIWAG) and others.

Well C.C. wasn't the only reason I cancelled mostly I should have said was because they were still charging a subscription rate the same for 35 pages as was for 100 pages. Why pay for a third of the magazine for the same price. I did read that they were going back to a 8x10 or so magazine format. I guess to make it look like your getting more for your money. Now it will look like 50 or 60 pages. All in the marketing

Yea Jay I think it was almost 200 pages come to think of it. How great was that. Took all week to read it.

Actually at its peak around 1990 it was often over 400 pages.

I still have back issues from the early and mid-1990s.
