I like O'Keefe's writing a lot better when he's crapping on Bruce.

Wow, great news. News I thought I would never hear, actually.

I too will take a "wait and see" approach before renewing,as it wasn't just the CC BS that I had against the magazine, but also a lack of content.

But for me, this is a big step in the right direction for SCD.

Before we pat SCD on the back too much, keep in mind that they were partly responsible for the proliferation of the crap put out by CC .... for a long, long time.

Exactly. Being a party and profiting from what they now condemn? I guess they can afford a nice soapbox with all the dirty money...

While away, good news comes. But how good is this news? You can't snap your finger and think everything that has happened, hasn't happened. They did a great deal of damage to the very fabric of the collecting world. They acted as the police, giving us articles about autograph fraud and then looked the other way.

The million dollar question is...how will they handle this fiasco? What do they tell the readers to why this company has been let go? And how will the collectors respond who have purchased from them? Have they even issued a statement of some sort?

As this all happens, the Coach's Corner auction hasn't skipped a beat and will be ending on Friday for those of you interested.

They have lost me for good. There is nothing they can do to get me back.

I find it hard to believe that this move was percipitated by some new found sense of morality. My guess is that it was solely a financial decision, possibly fearing that the Coaches' Corner association would adversely impact their new auction venture.

O'Keeffe does not hate autographs, he hates the scum who sell bogus autographs.

I agree they should only do 2 issues a month. By the time you get the magazine, the news is already on the internet. But I do like to read articles, advertisements, etc....though I usually only take it to the bathroom to read

These changes may portend a move to every other week. I've actually suggested to TS on several occasions that at this pt SCD would be better served as every other week. Since it appears that SCD is challenging all their past beliefs; the feeling the need to be weekly may go away as well

That is the good news. I would like to thank Leon, Richard ,Dc and all the others that put pressure on Lemke to admit that SCD was a big part of the problem. If they had not decided to open and auction house this never would have happened. My mother told me one thing you dont every have to remember is the truth. Well we all know the truth about SCD .

I would also like to thank Mike. Everytime he would write anything about this board it was like the devil took over this site. Well he finally wrote what you wanted to see. Send him an email that might make him feel good. I just sent him one.

David, you're a college professor. It would serve you well to use proper grammar.

The correct grammar is "Where are Bruces?"

Appears as if the powers that be at SCD have had an epiphany (I sound like Don King! ). Hell, I'll subscribe again and give them another shot. They're moving in the right direction. It's going to take time for them to reestablish themselves, if that's at all possible in the digital age. Without some of us going back to them out of good will, they're doomed.
