I need your help trying to find a 1985 issue of SCD

[Volod]

I only have three issues from 1985 - July 5th, Sept 27th and Oct 11th. All have Lipset ads, but none mention Jello Boxes. Good luck on your search.

Many thanks, Steve, for your kindness and time. Furthermore, many, many thanks for the 1951 Topps Current All-Stars reprints of Stanky, Roberts, and Konstanty you kindly sent me in the spring of 2016. They reside in my display case, and I find them enchanting. Thank you again.

No problem at all, Brian. With my short term memory issues, the '51 Topps reprints had slipped my mind, and I had failed to keep a list of those board member I had sent them to. Thanks, my friend.

Unfortunately I can't help, but it reminds me of my subscription to I think it was Baseball Card News. Whatever it was called, it was right around that time, I was in High School. It was a newspaper-like publication, maybe every 2 weeks or so. When I joined the Navy in Nov 87, I remember being clear that my cards were not to be toughed. To me that meant everything, but apparently my parents decided that those bulky baseball newspapers were a different story and must have recycled them! To my knowledge/memory, that was the only childhood fatality of my collection, but I am still a little irritated by it after all these years. I forgave my parents, but still wish I had those back!

Thanks, Curt. I feel your pain, bro. Counting up the times my family and I have moved since 1985 comes to six moves. You cull through your things, thinking about what your wish to save, and what you honestly believe at the time you won't ever want again. Wading through large stacks of old Sports Collectors Digest, tearing out an article here, an ad there, a kazillion decisions.

The worst decisions were the cards and sets I thought AT THE TIME I didn't really want. I barely got "OK" money for them, only to find a half generation later I wished I had never ever sold them (i.e. a near complete set of 1952-55 Dormand postcards, a complete mint set of 1962 Topps Civil War News, and a mint (probably not technically, based on PSA's impossible standard for MINT with these) 1953 Stahl-Meyer Franks Whitey Lockman from Rob Lifson's find in the summer of '75. Their values all skyrocketed from the late 80s /early 90s when I parted with them. However, in all honesty, I want them back for their sheer beauty.

Curt, you and I well know the saying, "Life is full of decisions". As the immortal Fred Flintstone was known for saying-----"Uhhh Boy."

Thanks for wanting to help me. Stay safe, and have fun anyway.

I am pleased to report our Net54 brother, David Kathman, was successfully able to identify the 1985 Sports Collectors Digest issue I was seeking, and sent me a scan of the same. A big thank you to all who helped me find David Kathman, especially Seven (James) who taught me how to send a PM on here.

While you're keeping safe, try to keep cool; it's horrible in my upper Indiana neighborhood.

Brian - Try some summers in southern Indiana. I spent four of them in Bloomington at IU and, man, as a kid from upstate NY, I never knew such conditions existed.

Any chance you can post a scan of the ad from SCD?
