I need your help trying to find a 1985 issue of SCD

[brian1961]

I am appealing to my fellow collectors for an old issue of Sports Collectors Digest. The year would be 1985. At the time, SCD was bi-weekly, so we are talking only 26 issues. The issue I am desiring would not be hard to find; permit me to explain.

The issue I'm seeking has a full-page advertisement from Lew Lipset. The title at the top of the page is:

"1962 JELLO BOXES (MINT)"

At the back of each issue is an advertiser index. Simply search for Lew Lipset's name; the index is alphabetical, so it's a snap.

I would like to buy the issue from you. The prices I see on eBay range from $5-10. It is not that valuable. If you cannot bear to part with it, a good, clear scan would suffice. Feel free to share it with all of us, so we'll all drool on our computer keyboards!

I don't have some deep-seated plot in mind. I am helping a friend with his research for a book chapter he is writing.

Please, I need your help. The only 1985 issue I have of SCD came up empty.

Thanks. Best regards, Brian Powell

Brian,
I have the Nov 22, 1985 and Dec 20, 1985 SCD issues and Lew's ad in those 2 issues does not advertise 1962 Jello boxes...with your issue that may be 3 issues down and 23 to go

I checked my vertical file clippings and don't seem to have this ad. Try David Kathman (trdcrdkid here). Doubt he would sell the issue but I'm sure he can find the ad if he has it.

Thanks, guys. Hopefully someone will have it.

Dave, how do I reach out to trdcrdkid / David Kathman if he does not join in on this thread? I guess I've never tried to reach out to someone unless it was to respond to a thread, or send a PM. On the latter, perhaps I do something wrong, since I never seem to get a response from anyone, unless someone has sent me a PM, and I respond to that. I know, I'm rather a VERY 20th century chap.

If you go to his profile and hit "contact info" you'll be able to Private message him. If you don't mind me saying so of course.

Hey James! Of course I don't mind you giving me a primer on how to contact someone on here! That's precisely what I was hoping someone would do for me. Thanks James.

I really am a klutz when it comes to figuring things out, computer-wise. I'll try to do as you taught me tomorrow night, when I will have some more net time. Time to eat.

Wishing you the best--- Brian Powell
