Vintage and Classic Baseball Collector – A wonderful, high-quality magazine highlighting vintage (pre-1970) baseball cards and players. Still sought after by vintage card collectors, this magazine sadly had a short run of only 38 issues. VCBC still has a website where you can view the covers and get an index of stories. I have all issues available except #7 at $5 each, or $99 for the near complete run (1-6, 8-38) plus postage. All issues are in excellent/near mint condition with an occasional slightly bent corner on the covers.
Topps Magazine – Published in the early 90’s by the Topp’s trading card company. Articles about baseball players and their cards. Included in each issue are uncut sheets of cards of current players with vintage or unusual card designs. All magazines listed are in near mint condition and come with intact card sheets. Players featured on the covers are in parentheses. $3 each.
