Yes, SCDs fo the 80's and 90's were THE place to buy and sell cards. Take away Ebay, on-line forums like this, on-line auction houses, email, and everything that relies on the internet, and what you are left with is SCD.
You could get the normal 3rd class mail subscription, or pay extra for the 1st class mail delivery and get your issue a couple of days early - sort of like the 'sneak peak' Thursday or Friday evening entry into the big card shows. In addition to the articles and typical buy/sell ads, there were listings for card shows (remember all those?) and the autograph guests. Things gradually went downhill with the advent of the internet and the loss of advertisers (which was the heart and soul of the magazine) and all that remained was mailer for the latest Roaches Corner auction. I have not picked one up in quite a while.
