I collect periodicals as well as many other members. VCBC was one of the very first series I acquired. Issue number 7 was extraordinary. Happy hunting
. |
Such great information in those, I have a couple with articles on T217 Monos and Texas Tommys. Love the Mark Macrae advertisement.
|
I had the run. Sold it last summer. I've still got some copies of the ones where I wrote articles.
|
Great, great magazine
|
Love reading the old VCBC articles - particularly on new sets which I knew nothing about. I also have issues of Old Carboard, of course.

I also have complete runs of VCBC and Old Cardboard magazines. Both are chock full of great info. Per the OC web site, one can purchase the entire set and individual issues of OC Magazine: https://www.oldcardboard.com/subscriptions.asp

I have a number of VCBC magazines saved. That article on m101-1 and national copper plates is so fascinating in that I would have thought Lew Lipset would have seen the complete National copper Plate set by then. They really must be even rarer than i thought. Does anyone else have a National copper Plate Anson or Hoy?i have seen the larger “framed” Anson in a later Lipset auction i believe.

Secret Santa sent a couple of 1977 Sports Collectors News issues last Xmas, including its editor's own interesting list of interesting collectors. And check out those blazers!

shameless post - complete run for sale.
Inquire here :-)
I'll try and post tomorrow in BST..... |

Terrific publication (IMO)....

I have a complete run of VCBC. About 20 years ago, I successfully defended the
magazine in a libel suit brought in federal court in New Jersey. |

I see the term "Gem Mint" was used in that 1977 issue of SCN. Makes me wonder when the earliest recorded use of the term dates from.
|
I have owned hundreds of thousands of autographs and examined/authenticated far more than that over a long time. I've heard the names Max Schrager and Jack Thompson, but barely at all. What's really strange is that I do not recall handling a single item inscribed to either collector. This makes no sense due to the sheer volume that has passed through my hands over nearly 40 years.

criticized in more than one issue. |
Nice work, Tom. All us VCBC authors thank you for your service.
