SGC Collector Magazine

Somebody I was recently speaking with told me SCD is now 36 pages.

It's really been 36 pages for years. They just used to have an additional 28 pages of Coach's Corner crap.

It's better this way.

I spent a lot of my last couple of years at Beckett working on Elite; and trust me, I truly enjoyed the time I spent on Elite. Unfortunately when I was laid off, most of the interest in Elite probably left as well. Oh well, too bad because the magazine was a great aesthetic (sic, unless Barry says the spelling is fine) pleasure for everyone who read that magazine. And yes, if you loved Elite, there was probably no other pubication at Beckett that would please you.

And as for Barry's comment; ever since Coach's Corner left SCD the average issue is less than 40 pages.

Rich- spelling is perfect!

36 pages, which means that probably 10-12 of it are articles and pages not dedicated to advertising revenue...why don't they just give it up? What's the purpose at this point? I am one of those who grew up with the magazine and I don't feel bad for it's demise as they did this to themselves. From what I understand, the subscription rate is like $22-24 and you don't think any of us would pay less than .50 cents a week just to read something on the couch for even twenty minutes?

Volume 5, Issue #1 of "Collector" ("SGC" has been dropped from the title) is out.....I just got my copy today.

Good articles in it about the recent T5 Pinkerton find in Hunt Auctions, as well as baseball book collecting.
