Surviving Copies of the 1939 United States Card Collectors Catalog

[trdcrdkid]

I'm a member of the Cartophilic Society of Great Britain and was in touch with their librarian a couple of years ago. Those books are stored away in his attic, somewhere in the Midlands, I think. I should try to e-mail him again, because he was going to photocopy some things for me.

Younger generation here checking in. Going into to 2022 I've decided to change the way I go about collecting. I hate what the "new" collectors are doing. It's ruining this great hobby. Due to that, I've decided to focus on the "middle" period between WWI and WW2, starting with the 1933 Goudey set. I'm well on my way there and was also able to find an original 1939 ACC that I picked up.

It doesn't seem to be part of the group so I wanted to have it added.

Agree, nice first post and welcome to the forum....I have 2 copies of the 1939 edition....plus a uniquely known letter announcing it.

Here is a thread concerning Burdick.

Hi Leon,

Wow, such an incredible letter. Have you made it through the thousands of letters and other ephemera from the Wagner lot? Looks like you have some really great content to write a book

[Hankphenom]

Such an interesting topic. I'll have to go back and search for other early hobby pubs threads.

The Burdick letter is great. My favorite line: Give me all the dope and ideas you can think of.

I downloaded the entire catalog page by page from someone's website (or maybe it was posted on Net54). It is 112 individual pages. I don't remember who posted it, but it looks like the Dan Calandriello copy.
