Old Cardboard and VCBC?

Old Cardboard is head and shoulders above VCBC for learning about pre-war card sets.

Both are really good magazines, but you will get more interesting stories in the VCBC magazines in my opinion.

If you collect T207 cards, the two issues of VCBC are a must.
Mark Macrae's Obak, D310 and D311 articles in VCBC should also be a must buy for any PCL card collector.

get them both, Trader Speaks, Lipset's Volumes and read them everyday--all day--
try to never work again--and all will be bliss.

Both are great. Get them all. It is also great to support OC. Lyman and (his son) Brett Hardman who produce it are great people and making a real contribution to the hobby.

I'll second that, Bob! Issues #37 and #38 are indispensible.

Old Cardboard is a very valuable resource. I loved VCBC because Dennis Purdy liked to take on some controversial issues. I still refer to many of the articles, one of my favorites being Barry's article on vintage baseball books from around 1995. Get those back issues if you can.

Thank you Tom.
