The magazine is dying a slow torturous death...I haven't seen one in a while, but the last time I was in a card shop I noticed that it looked about the same size as the Parade magazine that comes free with the Sunday newspaper.

They did the same with their sister publication Goldmine, although that has gained some heft and glossy covers and better paper inside with a lot more color. That went from 26 (maybe 24, I forget) issues to 12 and I still end in July, '11 juts like I did when they published every two weeks. Punk move by F+W-how is this not illegal?

Toppcat,
I know what you mean by questioning the legality here. Not a lawyer, and ultimately not worth the time, but they didn't even raise the price of the magazine to try and justify their stance. This comes off as just a money grab by them. SCD: "You bought 52 issues, but we are only going to deliver half of what we committed to. Thanks for playing..." Duped subscriber: "but, but, but..."

What if you contact them, canceling your subscription and asking for a refund on the balance??

20 Years
After almost 20 years I let my subscription lapse in December....turned out to be a great idea. Sorry to all those who are still subscribers.

It is sad what has happened to SCD
I can remeber in the early to late 1990s I would have the magazine shipped to me FED EX overnight. So I would have it as fast as possible. Boy how times have changed.

sad to see SCD this way
I just got my recent issue of SCD and I enjoyed the article about Wholesale Cards (Bruce Yecko), Card Collectors Company (The Gellmans) and Larry Fritch cards. The article was decent. I love the hobby's history!
I remember geting SCD since the days it was owned by the Stommen family. The Stommen folks always treated me well. The Sport Hobbyist by Charlie Brooks was another early one that treated me well. i was 8 thru 12 when I started buying cards through those papers and was happy to be treated as an adult even though my orders we're usuaally under 10.00 then! It is sad to see SCD struggling. I'll miss TS O'Connell and I'm not happy about not getting SCD every week even if it has less than 50 pages! My subscription ends soon and I will re-new even though I'm not happy with the changes. SCD has been a big part of my life since 1973. The convention calendar helped my business flourish in the 30+ years running shows. Like I've said a million times, THANK GOD we have this wonderful brotherhood of hobbyists here on NET 54. Have a great day everyone. Your friend, Bill Hedin

Exact same for me. I'm getting renewal notices in the mail, but I don't even open them. Feel bad, it was a great tool. But now in days with internet, it is just not worth the $$ where $$ is tight.
