Site Forum

Just wanted to see if either of these publications would qualify to be uploaded to the site. Most of the uploaded publications are Beckett's, Topps Magazines, etc... But I just wanted to get opinions from others before I go through the scanning and editing.

Are there card inserts in the publications? Then they are good.

Legends Sports Memorabilia

Yes, we have 1991 & 1992 listed on the site. I will have to look at the 1993 years to be sure.

Baseball Hobby News

I will have to look at the one that I have, I dont think that they did, but the magazine focused on the collecting hobby. I have a smippit of what the magazine was about. 

Baseball Hobby News was a United States-based news-oriented magazine about the field of baseball memorabilia collecting. Founded in 1979 by the husband-and-wife team of Frank and Vivian Barning, who served as editor and publisher, respectively, the magazine was published on a monthly basis until 1993. The first issue appeared in March 1979 For most of its run, it appeared in a newspaper-style format, although it later converted to a tabloid size with a color cover.

The magazine primarily focussed on baseball cards, but also included coverage of many other baseball-related collectibles, including autographs, press pins, postcards, stamps, uniforms and other pieces of game-used equipment, and books and other publications. As its name implies, the paper placed an emphasis on news, offering extensive coverage of newly released cards and memorabilia, as well as reporting on developments within the hobby itself. It also featured more nostalgic pieces, including articles on older memorabilia as well as interviews with baseball players of the past. There were also frequent articles aimed at new collectors, offering advice on how to get started in the hobby.

They both sound like they would fit in with our publications.

I'm actually surprised I hadn't already added some Baseball Hobby News.
