Got my SGC Magazine yesterday...

One of their best issues. In addition to the T206 articles, there is an article on '52 Bowman large FB and '64 Topps hockey cards. Great stuff all around!

Thanks guys.

I agree with all the comments here -- received my copy today and have gotten halfway through it. The presentation of the SGC Collector Magazine, generally, and this issue in particular, is exquisite (and I'm not just giving them props because my article is in it!) Seriously, great job, Al. The colors on the cover and throughout the T206 articles just jump off the pages. Great idea to focus on the collectors of the Monster as well. Aces job, everyone!

Many thanks, Mike.
I know very little about football--no surprises from anyone, i'm sure--but
i found your thesis very interesting and provocative(in the best sense of the word). And as one born before 1952--to use your pivotal date-- i must say that I truly enjoyed remembering some of the greats that you mentioned and which I actually collected as a young boy in the late fifties and early sixties.
great work.

all the best,
barry

Got mine today and don't remember paying for a sub. Thanks SGC.

Great articles by all collectors. I love the license plate. T206 is my passion and I love sharing it with the members of this board.

Hi, Where can I get a copy of this magazine? Very interested in reading up on the T206's.

Thanks Barry. I really enjoyed your opening tribute to the Monster as well, particularly when you mentioned that you bought your first T206 (Matty (dark cap)) shortly after getting married. I bought mine (T206 Keeler (with bat)) while on my honeymoon (don't tell my wife, please). That card is still one of my favorites. Incidentally, I bought the same card three years later for my friend's son, who shares Wee Willie's first and last name, sans the "wee" bit!

Mike,
great stories about your 'honeymoon card' and the 'new' Willie Keeler.
adding these and key others to Paul M's naming of his son 'Mathewson', i would say
the Monster is smiling gratefully(yet surreptitiously,to keep his scary mask potent) at this Centennial Celebration.

all the best,
barry
