First 21+ Issues of VCBC

[Wildfireschulte]

For auction I have the first 21+ issues of Vintage and Classic Baseball Collector - "The Magazine For The Serious Collector of Baseball Items". I want to avoid dealing with shipping, so they will be available for pick-up at booth #258 at The National. Auction ends Monday July 27th at 9 PM Rosemont time.

VCBC was first issued in March 1995 with its feature article by Barry Sloate titled, Baseball's First Cards: Peck & Snyders. In issue #3, Barry wrote a piece on Baseball Books that has been my go to reference on books for the past 20 years. Additional authors in VCBC include Lew Lipset, Mark Macrae, Mark Rucker, Keith Olbermann, Frank Ceresi and many more of the leaders of our hobby.

However, the real reason that you want to own these is to read editor, Dennis Purdy's bombastic writing - challenging hobby "experts", auction practices and grading card companies. These articles chronicle a period of change in our hobby including the sea-change for buying and selling - aka eBay.
