It looks GREAT. Has some Forum members' contributions, and a comparison of how the N28, T206, and 3 selected '30s cards have done compared to the stock market and gold. Also a list--from 1---60 (or maybe it's 100) of the top dealers with their scores(BUT--only one score per dealer! nO BREAKDOWN). Guess who came in first, with a sparkling 4.77 (out of 5), and Tik was second, and I think Scott B. was 3rd, but Sloate was nowhere near the top.

hAven't had time to read any of the articles yet...something neat about "plastic." Unless someone beats me to it (which i wish they would occasionally), I'll have more to say after i watch "Spirited Away" after my meeting half way across the state. About 2 A.M. That's 5, Eastern!

The cover is FANTASTIC--maybe some of you still get the site on the net? I don't! Anyway, red, with a circle containing a pair of hands in the grass, reaching for a MLB baseball. I think we could guess forever, unless you happen to recognize that part of that photo!

Gnereal survey questions: average age is about 30, most people think GREED is the prime thing wrong with the hobby. Too much auctions, not enough letters to the editor, need more in-depth articles on players, and an occasional article on a collector (if I read right).

Obviously, this was all done in a great rush, and I can't even plug the Forum! HELL> Tin Newcomb (T207s--no pop. explosion), James Verrill On "plastic"--that horrible kind), Purdey did the comparisons with gold and the stocks, John Drecker on the Pittsburgh Allegheneys (nice photos), John oVERFIELD ON A 19TH CENTURY STAR, AND i'M GLAD TO SEE ANOTHER pRESTON oREM ARTICLE, THIS ONE ON THE 1874 N.A. with one of MY Harper's woodcuts (with Spaulding, Wright and--is it o'rOURKE OR cONNOR?) Haven't read ANY yet.
