Old Cardboard

[ullmandds]

Today I got my latest copy of Old Cardboard...celebrating their 10th anniversary in the hobby. Congratulations is in order...congrats to Lyman and Brett Hardeman for putting out such a high quality publication for over 10 yrs.

I dig the new packaging as well...my issue arrived in mint condition!

I second the motion. The Hardemans have done a great job!

"Thanks Peter for the Reminder!!!"

I know they mailed on the first, so my magazine should be here in the morning. I'm very much looking forward to it.

Thank you, Lyman and Brett for putting together such a fascinating magazine, and congratulations on ten years!!!

I agree with everyone. I have been a subscriber since issue #1 and I have saved all of the issues and I use them for reference several times a year.

Keep up the good work!

I received my copy today and it is a great contribution to vintage baseball scholarship. The variety of topics, including the '13 cravats, '23 uglies,
the Negro Leagues 'Holy Grail Postcard' of JGibson, N135 and N284 sharings
of same original template, and the T201 Mecca double folders makes all these
finely tuned pieces a must read.
If I may take a personal excursus, I must add that being able to witness the scholarship
and erudition of Mike Wheat's work on the T201s as it developed over the weeks and months was a rare treat and privilege for me. Thank you very much,Mike.
Ps
as usual, I always get at least one surprise from the Collector's Dugout.
I never knew that one of our longtime members(in his mid50s,I think) is a dedicated marathoner. Wow!
congrats everyone---10 years OC!!
best,
barry

Hey Barry

Hmm, still haven't gotten mine, and I'm in Dallas. They're in Austin. Maybe tomorrow.

Thanks for the post. I had never heard of OC - glad to see a replacement to VCBC - just subscribed and bought back issue #3 with tobacco box article. What are your favorite back issues that I should I buy?

and the top of every page, same place . Lyman and Brett are the best!! Of course they are practically neighbors in Austin, but they would be the best even without living in the best state.

Leon, you might want to contact Lyman. I just got the new issue yesterday, and atop page 6, in the upper left corner, is an ad for "the BEST source on the internet for vintage baseball cards

http://www.network54.com/Forum/153652/"

Since that forum is no longer active as of 2009, wouldn't we want people to be directed to the new site?

I know they might open the topmost topic with the new URL, but to avoid any confusion, I'd guess the new URL would be easier from the start.

I saw that yesterday as I read my new issue, Bill. Lyman was in NY yesterday on his way to going out of the country. He will be back next week and I will contact him about it. If anyone goes there (to the old site) they will quickly see it is a locked down site and will be directed to this one. It was just an old ad they had on file..... Thanks for the heads up.
