Owen maybe a feature spot on a collector and their collection. With some questions on how they got in the hobby etc.
Also love the old scanlens cards so would love some stories on these. For example I heard the rumour of sealed 80s boxes. Fact or fiction. I think everyone dreams of stumbling across a treasure like this.
Maybe get a few people a challenge to see what they can turn $50 intio by buying and re selling cards on ebay in one month and cover the results in the mag. See who gets the best results
I have always like the Readers Write section in Beckett where readers write to Beckett with their questions about certain cards,or the hobby in general.Maybe you could do something similar,where readers can send you questions,and you can answer them in each issue.

Got my copy today Owen thanks congrats on it. I think you have done a really good job. Liked your tips for the new collector (as i am one) and the price guide is really handy as i was looking through the Select site to find older cards i was after and it was a nightmare. So overall great job.

Got back today from my holiday and my copy was waiting for me. Really enjoyed it thanks!
The price list is much improved from the one you produced a few months ago ... there's still a few prices I'd object to, but that's the nature of the beast I suppose. Nothing way off that I noticed! So congrats.
As for the Dynamic stuff, saying it had limited design is a bit rough, I still find it more visually exciting than most of the things Select has produced - particularly in recent years.
The magazine is 48 pages with approx 24 pages of articles and 24 pages of card prices.
Some of the articles included are:
We name the top 10 signatures cards ever made
Top mistakes for collectors to avoid
Top player picks for your PC
Product reviews
A card grading guide
and many more
Cards priced are
AFL - 1963 to present. Includes pricing on a significant number of miscellaneous sets.
NRL - 1963 to present. Includes pricing on a significant number of miscellaneous sets.
Cricket - 1978 to present
A-League - 2006 to present
The pricing we have included is significantly better than the previous card guide. We have provided (where available) insert ratios, production runs and also pricing for folders and albums.
Thanks to a few people from our remarkable OCT community.

Re: Australian Sports Card Collector Magazine is Coming!
Hello Owen O'Neil I have paid for Australian Sports Card Collector Magazine, to you via Paypal into your account, I was just wondering if you have sent it or not, I paid the money on 19-5-12
How do I know what issue I bought? I can't find a issue number on the magazine.
I really enjoyed the magazine, One Idea to add to the magazine is maybe add a subscription offer for 12 months and give away a few currant packs of cards to subscribers, I don't know
it was just an idea, but I know that I would subscribe for 12 months without the free packs of cards, hope you keep the magazine alive.
