Issue #7 is the hardest to find. There are stories out there as to the reason why the issue is scarce.

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!

Yeah rumor was PSA bought as many as it could find lol. The interview with Daniel Desmond is priceless. Nothing has changed except that doctoring is even more rampant now.

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.

Can we know who brought that libel suit against VCBC? Curious minds want to know.

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.

They were sued by Richard Galasso, a self-proclaimed autograph expert who was
criticized in more than one issue.
