Should I subscribe to SCD again?

This thread certainly rings true. It is just a shell of what it once was. They used to have writers like "Red" Wimmer and the like who actually "knew" the hobby and shared a lot of pertinent knowledge with the rest of us.
Now your just as likely to read about the death of somebody's pet gerbil as anything related to sportscards. A total waste.

Yeah it appears to me that there isn't any improvement. I guess I was just hoping for too much.

One of my favorite writers was Dan Even who gave updates on the team issued postcard sets each year. I followed his advice and would send whatever seemed to work for him.

I wonder what ever happened to Dan?

I wonder what happened to Red Wimmer?

Dan still publishes a quarterly(?) newsletter on team-issues, postcards, etc.

He may have gone all digital recently.

I no longer have contact information but he should be able to be found with a google serach.

I mentioned earlier that while I do not recommend it to others, I still get it. The most recent issue, May 16, has articles on the Topps 1967 high number series, players who had both baseball and basketball careers/cards, and players identified in a dealer poll about future investment potential.

I saw Dan Even at the last Baltimore National in 2012, not sure if he was in Chicago last year.
