T205 SGC Collectors Magazine
 

I read a post today that SGC published a magazine that went into depth about T205's (didn't specify how recent the issue was) and was wondering how I would go about getting a copy of it? Looked at SGC's website and there was no information about ordering back issues.

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Frank, I believe I have an extra copy of it; just email me your address and I'll get it out to you tomorrow.

I think I may have that issue as well....must have been a freebie as I've never used SGC's services so I'm not sure how I ended up getting one.

I would love a copy if anyone has an extra. Thanks

I'd love to see it too if someone has the time to scan and post.

Calvin,
I sent you an email earlier with my address. If any compensation is needed, just let me know.

Frank, no money is needed. I think I have an extra in my office...I'll check it out tomorrow.

As a public service to y'all I have posted quick'n'dirty scans of the T205 article on my ImageEvent picture site. (It was either that or do my house chores). They are appended to my NY Giants T205 subset album. Once you click on the thumbnail you can increase the size of the image for better legibility and better printing if desired by clicking "Original" at the bottom of the page.

BTW the last issue of SGC Collector I received was the Spring 2008 issue (the one with the Mutoscope girlie on the cover) even though I paid them $20 for a subscription at the Chicago National. Has anybody been receiving current issues. I suppose I should take this up with SGC directly but I thought I'd ask here while we're on the subject.

Yep, that's the article! Thanks, David.

i must say that the article is well done and the layout, photography,etc.
of the issue is masterful.

best,

Now that I see the cover I'm pretty sure Mastro packaged this magazine with their catalog when they auctioned off Lionel Carter's collection.

Grr....

Last Summer, I accepted their offer of a "free", sample issue. The issue they sent was from Spring of 2006, two years old. OK, it was free. I decided it looked OK and would subscribe. Paid my (I think) $20 and since then have gotten exactly one issue, Winter 2008.

I had forgotten completely until you mentioned it.

Thanks. Now I have something else to complain about today.

Hi Guys,

I just wanted to jump in here and let everyone know the current issue of the SGC Collector is at the printer as we speak and should be shipping within a week or two. The last magazine that was released was the Winter 2008 issue on the Peggy Popcorn find. We've decided to go from quarterly to three times a year but will be beefing up the content so that you'll receive a larger magazine than before. This issue, in my opinion, is one of the best and features contributions from many board members. I don't think anyone will be disappointed!

David and Jim--I have both of you on the subscriber list so you should be all set.

Thanks,

Brian Dwyer

Dang it Brian! Now I have to find something else to complain about today. Good thing my son is home from college, so I have material to work with.

And don't forget, Jim, there's the issue of someone else using your avatar.

Rob, very interesting use of italics there. Normally when I see such a sarcastic use of it on the board I suspect insanity or rage is involved.

LOL. Yeah, but he never posts. And when I switched mine for a while, the guy who shared my "new" avatar, never complained, so as Leon says, "It's all good."

Wow. What a laid-back guy.

It's all good. "Laid-back" on Net 54 is the new black.

Woops, that's better.

Do you realize how confusing this could get?

Rob, stop worrying about potential problems and focus on the actual ones, please.

Great. Now even more of Lichtman's posts will be attributed to me.

I'm not feeling all that comfortable in this green....

Really? Cash is king, you know.

I don't know what you're talking about.

I think he is referring to Norm Cash.

The article was written by a former member on the Net54 boards (you still lurking out there?) and tehre were actually a couple more sections of the article not published - concerning Ink colors for the names on the front of the Graham and Shean Cubs/Rustlers cards, I will see if i can find those acrhived somewhere.

Great article, and really the best thing for T205 collectors since that trader Speaks almost 30 years ago by Bill Heitman... there's not much out there for T205 collectors, it's a shame

David, I only own one, but thankyou for taking the time (from the laundry) to scan and post the article. Now get those scivvies washed before momma gets home.

As a T205 collector. I've wanted to see that mag. If anyone wants to sell one to me just let me know.

Thanks.

Okay...my "grr" is bigger now....

:mad:

That article, although very good, used a ton of information that I gathered and collected over nearly a decade. I was asked to preview the article and give suggestions, which I did...I was not credited with anything and it was published without my knowledge until I got one in the mail from SGC. These things usually do not bother me but lately I have heard many people say that was the best t205 article written...great, thanks, I will take that compliment. A few things were off in the article (just a couple of the percentages) and a few updates need to be added as well. As to the two different print colors on the Graham card it is not a variation...it occurs on all versions of that particular card with that particular advertising (just as all Cycle Matty's come with the statistical error). As to the author, I have not seen or heard from him in some time nor seen him post in awhile.

Anyway...I vented...back to the T205 love...

Joshua

Oh yeah...Rawn...if you are following this...I finally confirmed a Bill Carrigan with a Polar Bear back...recently on ebay....one of the last true mystery cards for me...not sure it is rare but just had not seen a scan of one yet. Enjoy.

Joshua

Does anyone have a scan of this article? The link in the thread is not good anymore. I'm new to T205's so this would be helpful. Thanks!

Yes, I'd love to see it as well and the link no longer works.

I did some re-arranging on my ImageEvent site and also changed the password on account of various dipshits were causing me trouble. Following is a new link to my T205 page with the SGC article; I've removed the need for a password. http://tinyurl.com/4d3lmt4

Thanx for the link David. Thats a nice cycle backed Murray btw.

Been on both ends on the use of this noun my whole life, but never have seen it written anywhere.

Thank you, David!

Considering venturing into this set- great info. Thank you for the link
