I recently picked up 4 old issues of SCD (1978 and 1979) for a buck a piece at a show and had a blast reading them. The issues more or less bridge the time from the card club days (the issues had numerous notices from the various clubs that formed all over the place and were the backbone of the hobby in the days before the for-profit promoters) to the first national (one issue had an open letter from Gavin Riley to the collectors about the first ever national convention and what it would mean). Here are a few excerpts: |

I agree entirely! If you want some really entertaining stuff, go back to the really early issues of SCD or The Trader Speaks... or Sport Fan, Sports Scoop, etc. |

always good to think about when things were a little simpler. Unfortunately for me, I wasn't collecting vintage as much in 1979-1980. I also remember the Renata Galasso days where I'd order (or my parents would order) a set and other junk from her. Wish I'd been buying T206's and Old Judges back then! |

I bought so much modern garbage in the '80s - I could kick myself now! |

It's funny, I just pulled out a bunch of SCD's from 75/76 and The Trader Speaks from 1974 and my earliest hobby publication, a 1972 edition of The Sports Hobbyist. I run across these once a decade or so (usually after moving) and it's always fun to look at the old ads. It brings back memories of my first card show back in 1976. It was either the Southern California Memorial Day show or the Labor Day show in Orange County. I remember passing up a Leaf Babe Ruth in pretty decent shape for $25 in favor of a 1951 Yankees World Series press pin. Lord only knows why I wanted the press pin so badly; I've hated the Yankees all my life. Oh well, at least mom never through out my collection. |
