Trading Card Column in Handle Magazine

[lockymac]

Here's the email I just sent:

Good morning
I just wanted to say well done on 'Handle' Magazine. It is an entertaining and informative read for many Basketball Fans in Australia.
My favourite section of the magazine is the 'Department of Fair Trading' column, which focuses on news and stories from the trading card world.
Graham Williams' first article was sensational, and I'm sure there are many trading card collectors who really enjoyed his story regarding BGS graded cards.
I was however very disappointed that the 'Department of Fair Trading' column in the following issue was significantly shorter.
I hope that in issues to come the 'Department of Fair Trading' column becomes a feature of Handle Magazine, and I look forward to reading many more entertaining tales from the trading card world.

Cheers
Lachlan McAuliffe

Yeah mate, good article, any news on if your getting a bigger write up?

 

[graham]

Yeah, its a bit bigger this month - about half page as opposed to the 1/8th I got for Chads article

 

[ScottE]

It was a good read this month. I liked the article on Aaron Bruce, i used to go to school with him and played junior basketball with him.

Next magazine came out today - check out www.handlemag.com.au

This time around my column is about "How To Get Your Cards Graded"

Eventually i'll post my article here as an FAQ

 

[WoobieZarz]

You'll have to post a copy of the Article dude, there's no links or anything on that website....

Great work tho! I'm sure it's a great article, as were the last ones.

 

[lil_pharm]

I saw your new article in the newest issue. It's about grading cards and it has a nice picture of the card in your sig. Great job!!

Just out of intrest mate are you doing this for a bit of fun or do they pay you?

 

[graham]

I do it to help spread the word and keep the hobby alive - in other words for not much more than the thrill of seeing my name in print every two months
